Black hole spectroscopy in the next decade
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Gravitational wave observations of the ringdown of the remnant black hole in a binary black hole coalescence provide a unique opportunity of confronting the black hole no-hair theorem in general relativity with observational ... -
Chemical equilibration in weakly coupled QCD
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)We study thermalization, hydrodynamization, and chemical equilibration in out-of-equilibrium quark-gluon plasma starting from various initial conditions using QCD effective kinetic theory, valid at weak coupling. In ... -
Chiral density wave versus pion condensation at finite density and zero temperature
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-04)The quark-meson model is often used as a low-energy effective model for QCD to study the chiral transition at finite temperature T, baryon chemical potential μB, and isospin chemical potential μI. We determine the parameters ... -
Cold quark matter at N3LO: Soft contributions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)High-order perturbative calculations for thermodynamic quantities in QCD are complicated by the physics of dynamical screening that affects the soft, long-wavelength modes of the system. Here, we provide details for the ... -
Collider phenomenology of a unified leptoquark model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-05)We demonstrate that in a recently proposed unified leptoquark model based on the gauge group SU(4)C×SU(2)L×U(1) R significant deviations from the Standard Model values of R K and R K ∗ can be accommodated without any need ... -
Correlating confinement to topological fluctuations near the crossover transition in QCD
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)We show the existence of strong (anti)correlations between the topological hot spots and the local values of the trace of the Polyakov loop in 2+1 flavor QCD with physical quark mass, in the vicinity of the crossover ... -
Firewall black holes and echoes from an action principle
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)It is often said that there is no gravity theory based on local action principles giving rise to firewall black hole solutions. Additionally, Guo and Mathur [Int. J. Mod. Phys. D 31, 2242009 (2022).] have cast doubt on the ... -
Flavor structure of GUTs and uncertainties in proton lifetime estimates
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)We study the flavor aspects of proton lifetime estimates in simple grand-unified models, paying particular attention to their inherent fragility due to the notorious lack of control of some of the key parameters governing ... -
Geometric surfaces: An invariant characterization of spherically symmetric black hole horizons and wormhole throats
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)We consider a spherically symmetric line element which admits either a black hole geometry or a wormhole geometry and show that in both cases the apparent horizon or the wormhole throat is partially characterized by the ... -
Gravitational imprints from heavy Kaluza-Klein resonances
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)We systematically study the holographic phase transition of the radion field in a five-dimensional warped model which includes a scalar potential with a powerlike behavior. We consider Kaluza-Klein (KK) resonances with ... -
Highly occupied gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions: A self-similar attractor
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-11)Motivated by the boost-invariant Glasma state in the initial stages in heavy-ion collisions, we perform classical-statistical simulations of SU(2) gauge theory in 2+1 dimensional space-time both with and without a scalar ... -
Improved Gauss law model and in-medium heavy quarkonium at finite density and velocity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-03)We explore the in-medium properties of heavy-quarkonium states at finite baryochemical potential and finite transverse momentum based on a modern complex-valued potential model. Our starting point is a novel, rigorous ... -

Inhomogeneous chiral condensate in the quark-meson model
(Journal article, 2017)The two-flavor quark-meson model is used as a low-energy effective model for QCD to study inhomogeneous chiral condensates at finite baryon chemical potential μ B. The parameters of the model are determined by matching the ... -
On-shell parameter fixing in the quark-meson model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-02)The quark-meson model is often used as an effective low-energy model for QCD to study the chiral transition at finite temperature T and baryon chemical potential μB. The parameters in the quark-meson model can be found by ... -
Pion condensation and phase diagram in the Polyakov-loop quark-meson model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-10)We use the Polyakov-loop extended two-flavor quark-meson model as a low-energy effective model for QCD to study the phase diagram in the μI–T planewhere μI is the isospin chemical potential. In particular, we focus on the ... -
Pulsar timing array stochastic background from light Kaluza-Klein resonances
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-11)We investigate the potential of the warped extradimension framework as an explanation for the recently observed stochastic gravitational background at nHz frequencies in pulsar timing arrays (PTA). Our analysis reveals ... -
