Black holes in higher dimensional space-times

RC Myers, MJ Perry - Annals of Physics, 1986 - Elsevier
Black hole solutions to Einstein's equations are examined in asymptotically flat N + 1 dimensional
space-times. First generalizations of Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordstrøm solutions …

Charged AdS black holes and catastrophic holography

A Chamblin, R Emparan, CV Johnson, RC Myers - Physical Review D, 1999 - APS
We compute the properties of a class of charged black holes in anti–de Sitter space-time, in
diverse dimensions. These black holes are solutions of consistent Einstein-Maxwell …

[HTML][HTML] Role of AMP-activated protein kinase in mechanism of metformin action

G Zhou, R Myers, Y Li, Y Chen, X Shen… - The Journal of …, 2001 - Am Soc Clin Investig
Metformin is a widely used drug for treatment of type 2 diabetes with no defined cellular
mechanism of action. Its glucose-lowering effect results from decreased hepatic glucose …

Dielectric-branes

RC Myers - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2000 - iopscience.iop.org
We extend the usual world-volume action for a Dp-brane to the case of N coincident Dp-branes
where the world-volume theory involves a U (N) gauge theory. The guiding principle in …

Towards a derivation of holographic entanglement entropy

H Casini, M Huerta, RC Myers - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2011 - Springer
We provide a derivation of holographic entanglement entropy for spherical entangling
surfaces. Our construction relies on conformally mapping the boundary CFT to a hyperbolic …

Holography, thermodynamics, and fluctuations of charged AdS black holes

A Chamblin, R Emparan, CV Johnson, RC Myers - Physical Review D, 1999 - APS
The physical properties of Reissner-Nordström black holes in (n+ 1)-dimensional anti–de
Sitter spacetime are related, by a holographic map, to the physics of a class of n-dimensional …

Surface terms as counterterms in the AdS-CFT correspondence

R Emparan, CV Johnson, RC Myers - Physical Review D, 1999 - APS
We examine the recently proposed technique of adding boundary counterterms to the
gravitational action for spacetimes which are locally asymptotic to anti–de Sitter spacetimes. In …

On black hole entropy

T Jacobson, G Kang, RC Myers - Physical Review D, 1994 - APS
Two techniques for computing black hole entropy in generally covariant gravity theories
including arbitrary higher derivative interactions are studied. The techniques are Wald’s Noether …

D-branes and spinning black holes

JC Breckenridge, RC Myers, AW Peet, C Vafa - Physics Letters B, 1997 - Elsevier
We obtain a new class of spinning charged extremal black holes in five dimensions,
considered both as classical configurations and in the Dirichlet (D)-brane representation. The …

[HTML][HTML] Compassionate use of remdesivir for patients with severe Covid-19

…, P Desai, R Mera, A Gaggar, RP Myers… - … England Journal of …, 2020 - Mass Medical Soc
Background Remdesivir, a nucleotide analogue prodrug that inhibits viral RNA polymerases,
has shown in vitro activity against SARS-CoV-2. Methods We provided remdesivir on a …
