Probing Planck-Scale Physics with High-Frequency Gravitational Waves

We develop a framework for testing quantum gravity through the stochastic gravitational-wave background produced by evaporating near-Planck-mass primordial black holes. Because gravitons free-strea...

Kinetic energy fluctuations and specific heat in generalized ensembles

We derive an exact generalization of the well-known Lebowitz--Percus--Verlet (LPV) formula that relates the kinetic energy fluctuations of an isolated system to its specific heat. Our general formu...
