Probing the size of extra dimension with gravitational wave astronomy
In Randall-Sundrum II (RS-II) braneworld model, it has been conjectured
according to the AdS/CFT correspondence that brane-localized black hole (BH)
larger than the bulk AdS curvature scale cannot be static, and it is
dual to a four dimensional BH emitting the Hawking radiation through some
quantum fields. In this scenario, the number of the quantum field species is so
large that this radiation changes the orbital evolution of a BH binary. We
derived the correction to the gravitational waveform phase due to this effect
and estimated the upper bounds on by performing Fisher analyses. We
found that DECIGO/BBO can put a stronger constraint than the current table-top
result by detecting gravitational waves from small mass BH/BH and BH/neutron
star (NS) binaries. Furthermore, DECIGO/BBO is expected to detect 10 BH/NS
binaries per year. Taking this advantage, we found that DECIGO/BBO can actually
measure down to m for 5 year observation if we know that
binaries are circular a priori. This is about 40 times smaller than the upper
bound obtained from the table-top experiment. On the other hand, when we take
eccentricities into binary parameters, the detection limit weakens to m due to strong degeneracies between and eccentricities. We also
derived the upper bound on from the expected detection number of extreme
mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs) with LISA and BH/NS binaries with DECIGO/BBO,
extending the discussion made recently by McWilliams. We found that these less
robust constraints are weaker than the ones from phase differences.Comment: 19 pages, 10 figures. Published in PRD, typos corrected, references

Hawking temperature for near-equilibrium black holes
We discuss the Hawking temperature of near-equilibrium black holes using a
semiclassical analysis. We introduce a useful expansion method for slowly
evolving spacetime, and evaluate the Bogoliubov coefficients using the saddle
point approximation. For a spacetime whose evolution is sufficiently slow, such
as a black hole with slowly changing mass, we find that the temperature is
determined by the surface gravity of the past horizon. As an example of
applications of these results, we study the Hawking temperature of black holes
with null shell accretion in asymptotically flat space and the AdS-Vaidya
spacetime. We discuss implications of our results in the context of the AdS/CFT
correspondence.Comment: 13 pages, 7 figures, REVTeX4; published in PR
Constructing new optimal entanglement witnesses
We provide a new class of indecomposable entanglement witnesses. In 4 x 4
case it reproduces the well know Breuer-Hall witness. We prove that these new
witnesses are optimal and atomic, i.e. they are able to detect the "weakest"
quantum entanglement encoded into states with positive partial transposition
(PPT). Equivalently, we provide a new construction of indecomposable atomic
maps in the algebra of 2k x 2k complex matrices. It is shown that their
structural physical approximations give rise to entanglement breaking channels.
This result supports recent conjecture by Korbicz et. al.Comment: 9 page
Facial structures for various notions of positivity and applications to the theory of entanglement
In this expository note, we explain facial structures for the convex cones
consisting of positive linear maps, completely positive linear maps,
decomposable positive linear maps between matrix algebras, respectively. These
will be applied to study the notions of entangled edge states with positive
partial transposes and optimality of entanglement witnesses.Comment: An expository note. Section 7 and Section 8 have been enlarge
Quantum Back Reaction to asymptotically AdS Black Holes
We analyze the effects of the back reaction due to a conformal field theory
(CFT) on a black hole spacetime with negative cosmological constant. We study
the geometry numerically obtained by taking into account the energy momentum
tensor of CFT approximated by a radiation fluid. We find a sequence of
configurations without a horizon in thermal equilibrium (CFT stars), followed
by a sequence of configurations with a horizon. We discuss the thermodynamic
properties of the system and how back reaction effects alter the space-time
structure. We also provide an interpretation of the above sequence of solutions
in terms of the AdS/CFT correspondence. The dual five-dimensional description
is given by the Karch-Randall model, in which a sequence of five-dimensional
floating black holes followed by a sequence of brane localized black holes
correspond to the above solutions.Comment: 13 pages, 10 figure
