Aspects of finite temperature field theories in Ads/CFT
… field theories at finite temperature using the AdS/CFT correspondence. I present a general proof of an "inheritance principle" satisfied by a weakly coupled SU(N) (or U(N)) gauge theory with adjoint matter on a class of compact manifolds (like S3). In the large N limit, finite temperature …

Perturbations and symmetry in gravitational theories : wormholes, wave dynamics, and quantum effects in rotating spacetimes.
This dissertation develops a symmetry-centered framework for gravitational perturbation theory, applying it to linearized gravity and horizonless rotating space-times. The central thesis is that gauge invariance and geometric symmetry provide a unifying language for identifying physical degrees of …
