Abstract:
This thesis is a study of the theory and phenomenology of trans-Planckian black holes, in TeV gravity extra-dimensional theories. The introduction starts with the motivation for this beyond the Standard Model scenario (chapter 1), a summary of the theoretical tools to formulate the theory, and a summary of the best bounds from experiment (chapter 2). In chapter 3, after setting up some notation and describing well known solutions in 4 + n-dimensional general relativity, we construct an approximate effective background for a brane charged rotating higher-dimensional black hole. This is achieved

Gauge/gravity dualities and the matrix model provide us with exploratory frame-works for the study of quantum gravity (QG) in the presence of a cosmological con-stant that is negative or zero, respectively. Currently, in all the known examples instring theory, the gravity theory contains complicated matter fields and interactions.However, the idea of describing theories of quantum gravity in terms of dual non-gravitational theories, i.e. holography, has proven to go well beyond these examples.Motivated by holography, in the course of this thesis we explore simple models ofquantum gravity with

Abstract:
The prescription of R. M. Wald for determining a thermodynamic first law for stationary, axisymmetric, asymptotically flat black holes in general theories of gravity is applied to the effective Lagrangian for the bosonic sector of low-energy heterotic super-string theory. It is found that the presence of the gauge fields necessitates an alteration of the prescription. Specifically, the Lie derivatives with respect to the Killing vector of the gauge fields are non-vanishing. This introduces new terms which ensure gauge-invariance of the final result in a natural way.

Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) are believed to be powered by accretion onto supermassive black holes (BHs). With the development in high resolution observations over a broad frequency range, it is now tenable to study the corresponding physical processes in detail. We find that the emission from the closest supermassive BH candidate, Sagittarius A*, a compact radio source presumably accreting from stellar winds prevailing at the Galactic Center, can be explained as due to a quasi-spherical accretion flow, which circularizes to form a small magnetized accretion disk near the BH's event horizon.

Abstract:
Bibliography: leaves 112-116.<br>The problem of the backreaction resulting from particle creation by black holes is examined from several vantage points. We first focus attention on the occurrence of the Berry phase in certain situations. This gives some insight into the geometry of quantum mechanics. Then we turn our attention to the analysis of quantum fields in black hole spacetimes. This brings us to the renormalisation of the stress- tensor via analytic methods. Finally, we draw on recent results to show how the Berry phase comes into play.

Abstract:
I use cosmological hydrodynamic simulations to investigate different aspects of the evolution of galaxies and massive black holes across cosmic time. First, I present high resolution "zoom-in" simulations including various prescriptions for galactic outflows designed to explore the impact of star-formation driven winds on the morphological, dynamical, and structural properties of individual galaxies from early times down to z = 2. Simulations without winds produce massive, compact galaxies with low gas fractions, super-solar metallicities, high bulge fractions, and much of the star formation c

Abstract:
However successful classical general relativity is, it faces non-normalizability problems at the quantum mechanical level. Nevertheless, it predicts the existence of black holes, which are thermal objects that are expected to still exist in a satisfactory theory of quantum gravity. This is one of the main reasons why black holes are important. String theory is considered, today, to be the most successful candidate for a quantum theory of gravity. Its mathematical consistency requires spacetime to have ten dimensions, and thus, it motivates the study of general relativity, and in particular, bl
