    Black holes and higher dimensions
    DOUKAS, JASON ( 2007)
    Higher dimensional black holes are studied in the extra large dimensions scenario. Bulk fermion quasi-normal modes and bulk fermion Hawking emission is calculated. It is found that bulk emission dominates brane emission for d > 5. To address the Planck phase an effective field theory is investigated. Lepton family number violating processes are elucidated and the corrections to the muon magnetic moment from these channels are calculated. Bounds are placed on the couplings of the theory. A discrete symmetry between quarks and leptons, and left- right- chirality fields, is orbifolded in 5 dimensions. Using split fermions a one generational standard model extension is found. An investigation of entanglement in black holes and accelerated motion is presented. It is found that in a certain system the acceleration between two spinors enhances the rate of their disentanglement.
