Cosmological Multi-Black Hole Solutions
We present simple, analytic solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell equation, which
describe an arbitrary number of charged black holes in a spacetime with
positive cosmological constant . In the limit , these
solutions reduce to the well known Majumdar-Papapetrou (MP) solutions. Like the
MP solutions, each black hole in a solution has charge equal
to its mass , up to a possible overall sign. Unlike the limit,
however, solutions with are highly dynamical. The black holes move
with respect to one another, following natural trajectories in the background
deSitter spacetime. Black holes moving apart eventually go out of causal
contact. Black holes on approaching trajectories ultimately merge. To our
knowledge, these solutions give the first analytic description of coalescing
black holes. Likewise, the thermodynamics of the solutions is
quite interesting. Taken individually, a black hole is in thermal
equilibrium with the background deSitter Hawking radiation. With more than one
black hole, because the solutions are not static, no global equilibrium
temperature can be defined. In appropriate limits, however, when the black
holes are either close together or far apart, approximate equilibrium states
are established.Comment: 15 pages (phyzzx), UMHEP-380 (minor referencing error corrected
Pair Creation of Dilaton Black Holes
We consider dilaton gravity theories in four spacetime dimensions
parametrised by a constant , which controls the dilaton coupling, and
construct new exact solutions. We first generalise the C-metric of
Einstein-Maxwell theory () to solutions corresponding to oppositely
charged dilaton black holes undergoing uniform acceleration for general . We
next develop a solution generating technique which allows us to ``embed" the
dilaton C-metrics in magnetic dilaton Melvin backgrounds, thus generalising the
Ernst metric of Einstein-Maxwell theory. By adjusting the parameters
appropriately, it is possible to eliminate the nodal singularities of the
dilaton C-metrics. For (but not for ), it is possible to further
restrict the parameters so that the dilaton Ernst solutions have a smooth
euclidean section with topology , corresponding to
instantons describing the pair production of dilaton black holes in a magnetic
field. A different restriction on the parameters leads to smooth instantons for
all values of with topology .Comment: 22 pages, EFI-93-51, FERMILAB-Pub-93/272-A, UMHEP-393. (Asymptotics

Universal corrections to entanglement entropy of local quantum quenches
We study the time evolution of single interval Renyi and entanglement entropies following local quantum quenches in two dimensional conformal field theories at finite temperature for which the locally excited states have a finite temporal width, \epsilon. We show that, for local quenches produced by the action of a conformal primary field, the time dependence of Renyi and entanglement entropies at order \epsilon^2 is universal. It is determined by the expectation value of the stress tensor in the replica geometry and proportional to the conformal dimension of the primary field generating the local excitation. We also show that in CFTs with a gravity dual, the \epsilon^2 correction to the holographic entanglement entropy following a local quench precisely agrees with the CFT prediction. We then consider CFTs admitting a higher spin symmetry and turn on a higher spin chemical potential \mu. We calculate the time dependence of the order \epsilon^2 correction to the entanglement entropy for small \mu, and show that the contribution at order \mu^2 is universal. We verify our arguments against exact results for minimal models and the free fermion theory

A flexible back-contact perovskite solar micro-module
Back-contact perovskite solar cells are fabricated by depositing methylammonium lead iodide perovskite into micron-sized grooves, with opposite walls of each groove being coated with either n- or p-type selective contacts. V-Shaped grooves are created by embossing a polymeric substrate, with the different charge-selective electrodes deposited onto the walls of the groove using a directional evaporation technique. We show that individual grooves act as photovoltaic devices, having a power conversion efficiency of up to 7.3%. By series-connecting multiple grooves, we create integrated micro-modules that build open circuit voltages up to nearly 15 V and power conversion efficiencies over 4%. The devices created are fully flexible, do not include rare metals, and are processed using techniques applicable to roll-to-roll processing
