Conical holographic heat engines (2019)
Journal Article
Ahmed, W., Chen, H. Z., Gesteau, E., Gregory, R., & Scoins, A. (2019). Conical holographic heat engines. Classical and Quantum Gravity, 36(21), https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6382/ab470b

We demonstrate that adding a conical deficit to a black hole holographic heat engine increases its efficiency; in contrast, allowing a black hole to accelerate decreases efficiency if the same average conical deficit is maintained. Adding other charg... Read More about Conical holographic heat engines.

Rotating black holes in higher order gravity (2019)
Journal Article

We develop a new technique for finding black hole solutions in modified gravity that have “stealth” hair, i.e., hair of which the only gravitational effect is to tune the cosmological constant. We consider scalar-tensor theories in which gravitationa... Read More about Rotating black holes in higher order gravity.
