We analyze the quantum process in which a cosmic string breaks in an anti-de Sitter (AdS) background, and a pair of charged or neutral black holes is produced at the ends of the strings. The energy to materialize and accelerate the pair comes from the strings tension. In an AdS background this is the only study done in the process of production of a pair of correlated black holes with spherical...

We compute the boundary stress-energies of time-dependent asymptotically AdS space-times in 5 and 7 dimensions, and find that their traces are equal to the respective 4 and 6 dimensional field-theoretic trace anomalies. This provides good supporting evidence in favour of the AdS/CFT correspondence in time-dependent backgrounds.

We find multiple relations between extremal black holes in string theory and 2-and 3-qubit systems in quantum information theory. We show that the entropy of the axion-dilaton extremal black hole is related to the concurrence of a 2-qubit state, whereas the entropy of the STU black holes, BPS as well as non-BPS, is related to the 3-tangle of a 3-qubit state. We relate the 3-qubit states with th...

We consider solutions of the four dimensional Einstein-Yang-Mills system with a negative cosmolog-ical constant Λ = −3g 2 , where g is the nonabelian gauge coupling constant. This theory corresponds to a consistent truncation of N = 4 gauged supergravity and may be uplifted to d = 11 supergravity. A systematic study of all known solutions is presented as well as new configurations corresponding...
