The paper “Extremal black holes from homotopy algebras“, co-authored by Jan Gutowski, Chettha Saelim, and Martin Wolf, was published today (30 January) in the journal “Classical and Quantum Gravity“. In this paper, the authors investigate the construction of all extremal black hole solutions to the Einstein equation for a given near-horizon geometry, employing the homotopy […]

The paper “AdS3 integrability, Sine-Gordon and fractional supersymmetry“, with author Alessandro Torrielli, has been accepted for publication in Physical Review Research as a regular article. A final form preprint in available on the arXiv (link here). The massless S-matrix of the pure RR AdS3 X S3 X T4 theory is very similar but not quite […]

The paper “Modelling dysfunction-specific interventions for seizure termination in epilepsy”, co-authored by Aravind Kumar Kamaraj and Matthew Szuromi (Boston University, USA), has been published in the npj Systems Biology and Applications (link to published paper here). The authors use a parsimonious two-dimensional neural mass model to study why first-line treatments fail to terminate seizures in a subset […]
