abstract

We discuss a remarkable correspondence between the description of Black Holes as highly occupied condensates of $N$ weakly interacting gravitons and that of Color Glass Condensates (CGCs) as highly occupied gluon states. In both cases, the dynamics of "wee partons" in Regge asymptotics is controlled by emergent semi-hard scales that lead to perturbative unitarization and classicalization of $2\rightarrow N$ particle amplitudes at weak coupling. In particular, they attain a maximal entropy permitted by unitarity, bounded by the inverse coupling $\alpha$ of the respective constituents. Strikingly, this entropy is equal to the area measured in units of the Goldstone constant corresponding to the spontaneous breaking of Poincar{\'{e}} symmetry by the corresponding graviton or gluon condensate. In gravity, the Goldstone constant is the Planck scale, and gives rise to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. Likewise, in the CGC, the corresponding Goldstone scale is determined by the onset of gluon screening. We point to further similarities in Black Hole formation, thermalization and decay, to that of the Glasma matter formed from colliding CGCs in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions, which decays into a Quark-Gluon Plasma.

  1. The fast, the slow and the merging: probes of evaporating memory burdened PBHs

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Diffuse gamma-ray and neutrino data, plus CMB ionization limits, constrain the memory-burden parameters k, q, and delta for primordial black holes and narrow viable dark matter masses to a broad but testable window.

  2. Cosmic strings and domain walls of the QCD quark condensate with and without a hidden axion

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The QCD quark condensate supports eta-prime and pion string-wall defects that exist without a hidden axion, and these windings make the minimal axion string anomaly-free.

  3. Light scalars in light of UV/IR mixing: classicalization via synergy between Vainshtein and chameleon screenings

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Classicalizing k-essence scalars need m << Λ* and, when potentials or fermion couplings are present, a chameleon-like screening layer to keep Vainshtein screening and classicalon stability intact.

  4. Particle production in the toy world: multiplicity distribution and entropy

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In the Unitary Toy Model, final-state dipole multiplicity is computed via AGK cutting rules; its entropy matches the BFKL result S_E = ln(xG), while the UTM initial-state distribution differs.

  5. QCD-Gravity double copy in Regge asymptotics: from $2\rightarrow n$ amplitudes to radiation in shockwave collisions

    A lecture-note synthesis showing that the same Lipatov vertices and reggeized propagators govern multi-particle production in QCD and gravity, with double-copy, Weinberg soft, and shockwave limits all connected in one...
