Aspectes clàssics i quàntics de forats negres en diverses dimensions 

    Figueras Barnera, Pau (Date of defense: 2007-09-21)

    L'objectiu del projecte era el d'estudiar diversos aspectes dels forats negres en dimensions més altes que quatre. Concretament, volíem estudiar els anells negres en cinc dimensions amb l'objectiu de generalitzar les ...

    Cosmological perturbations including matter loops. A study in de Sitter 

    Fröb, Markus Benjamin (Date of defense: 2013-12-09)

    In this thesis we studied quantum effects in de Sitter space coming from the interaction of gravitons and matter. We derived the lowenergy effective action for metric perturbations which includes corrections from matter ...
