abstract

It is shown in detail that the dynamics of the Einstein-dilaton-p-form system in the vicinity of a spacelike singularity can be asymptotically described, at a generic spatial point, as a billiard motion in a region of Lobachevskii space (realized as an hyperboloid in the space of logarithmic scale factors). This is done within the Hamiltonian formalism, and for an arbitrary number of spacetime dimensions $D \geq 4$. A key role in the derivation is played by the Iwasawa decomposition of the spatial metric, and by the fact that the off-diagonal degrees of freedom, as well as the p-form degrees of freedom, get ``asymptotically frozen'' in this description. For those models admitting a Kac-Moody theoretic interpretation of the billiard dynamics we outline how to set up an asymptotically equivalent description in terms of a one-dimensional non-linear sigma-model formally invariant under the corresponding Kac-Moody group.

Holographic Banners

hep-th · 2026-04-02 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

Holographic banners are four-argument on-shell actions that map thermofield double boundary states to future interior semiclassical states and yield BKL mixing timescales in AdS black holes.

Approaching the surface of an Exotic Compact Object

hep-th · 2026-05-19 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Near an Exotic Compact Object surface, vacuum Einstein equations yield chaotic oscillations with walls becoming cliffs, driving runaway squeezing that continues to fuzzball monopoles in string theory.

Chaos and epoch structure in the deformed Mixmaster universe

gr-qc · 2026-05-12 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

GUP deformation shortens Kasner epochs in the Mixmaster universe while polymerization lengthens them, with combined effects adding linearly and chaos strength depending on the deformation parameters.
