Abstract: The talk will focus on two problems: Black holes formation by particle collisions in quantum physics.The approach which will be presented is based on constructing a horizon wave-function which yields the probability of finding a black hole horizon of a certain radius centered around the source.

The III Amazonian workshop on black holes and analogue models of gravity will take place in UFP, Belém do Pará, Brazil, from 4-7 August 2014. This is a satellite workshop of the IRSES Marie Curie action on "Numerical Relativity and High Energy Physics", of which the U. Aveiro and UFP are both partners.

Abstract: The gauge/gravity duality has been used to describe so-called holographic superconductors and superfluids with the help of black holes and solitons in Anti-de Sitter space-time. In this talk, I will mainly discuss holographic superconductors and superfluids away from the probe limit, i.e. taking backreaction of the space-time into account.

Mengjie Wang, Ph.D. student at Gr@v, has received a "Chinese Government Award for outstanding self-financed students abroad", granted by the Ministry of Education of China. Congratulations Mengjie!

Abstract: Supersymmetric Grand Unification scenarios with non-universal gaugino masses have been widely investigated in the context of the SU(5) and SO(10) gauge groups. Here, we take a less conventional approach, and revisit a class of orbifold models with non-universal gauginos, developed by Brignole, Ibáñez and Muñoz.
