Normal frames for non-Riemannian connections
The principal properties of geodesic normal coordinates are the vanishing of the connection components and first derivatives of the metric components at some point. It is well-known that these hold only at points where the connection has vanishing torsion and non-metricity. However, it is shown that normal frames, poss...

Radiation from the extremal black holes
The radiation from extreme Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black holes is computed by explicitly considering the collapse of a spherical charged shell. No neutral scalar radiation is found but there is emission of charged particles, provided the charge to mass ratio be different from one. The absence of thermal effects is in ac...

Application of gradient expansion to non-linear gravitational wave in plane-symmetric universe
As an application of Gradient Expansion (long-wavelength) approximation, we studied the inhomogeneous universe including the gravitational wave(GW). For a plane-symmetric cosmological model, we could implement the 2nd order expansion and analyze the purely non-linear perturbation of GW. The result indicates that the no...

Statistical Mechanics of Charged Particles in Einstein-Maxwell-Scalar Theory

The metric on moduli space for the system can be considered if a relation among the charges and mass is satisfied, which includes the BPS relation for monopoles and the extreme condition for charged black ho...

Unified Relativistic Physics from a Standing Wave Particle Model
An extremely simple and unified base for physics comes out by starting all over from a single postulate on the common nature of matter and stationary forms of radiation quanta. Basic relativistic, gravitational (G) and quantum mechanical properties of a standing wave particle model have been derived. This has been done...

Density Fluctuations in Inflationary Models with Multiple Scalar Fields
Making use of the primordially isocurvature fluctuations, which are generated in inflationary models with multiple scalar fields, we make a phenomenological model that predicts formation of primordial black holes which can account for the massive compact halo objects recently observed.

Formation of Black Holes from Collapsed Cosmic String Loops
The fraction of cosmic string loops which collapse to form black holes is estimated using a set of realistic loops generated by loop fragmentation.

Pair creation rate for $U(1)^2$ black holes
I consider a truncation of low-energy string theory which contains two $U(1)$ gauge fields. After making some general comments on the theory, I describe a previously-obtained instanton for the pair creation of black holes when both gauge fields are non-zero, and obtain the pair creation rate by calculating its action. ...
