abstract
We consider Lorentzian General Relativity in a cavity with a timelike boundary, with conformal boundary conditions and also a generalization of these boundary conditions. We focus on the linearized gravitational dynamics about the static empty cavity whose boundary has spherical spatial geometry. It has been recently shown that there exist dynamical instabilities, whose angular dependence is given in terms of spherical harmonics $Y_{\ell m}$, and whose coefficient of exponential growth in time goes as $\sim \ell^{1/3}$. We use these modes to construct a sequence of solutions for which the initial data converge to zero as $\ell \rightarrow \infty$ but for which the solution itself does not converge to zero. This implies a lack of continuity of solutions on initial data, which shows that the initial value problem with these boundary conditions is not well-posed. This is in tension with recent mathematical work on well-posedness for such boundary conditions.

Well-posed geometric boundary data in General Relativity, II: twisted Dirichlet boundary data
Local-in-time well-posedness is proved for the vacuum Einstein equations with twisted Dirichlet boundary data: the conformal class of the boundary metric plus a bulk-to-boundary volume scalar.

Fluid Boundary Conditions from AdS/BCFT
In AdS/BCFT, the metric boundary condition on the end-of-the-world brane determines the fluid boundary condition: Neumann gives no-penetration plus Neumann conditions on velocity and temperature, and Dirichlet gives no-slip.

Finite-cutoff Holographic Thermodynamics
Finite-cutoff holography yields a thermodynamic duality between T^2-deformed CFTs and Schwarzschild-AdS black holes with a Dirichlet wall, including a teardrop coexistence curve with up to three states at one temperature.

Quantum stress-energy at timelike boundaries: testing a new beyond-$\Lambda$CDM parameter with cosmological data
Timelike boundaries sourcing negative, 1/a-scaling vacuum energy fit CMB+BAO data slightly better than LCDM and relax the neutrino-mass constraint, though the preference is only about 2 sigma.

Relativistic Dispersion Spectra across Lorentz boosted frames: Spurious modes and the enigma of causality
Rest-frame dispersion modes can be mapped into Lorentz-boosted frames through a parametric re-parametrization; the boost-generated 'spurious' roots appear exactly when the mode count is not conserved, which the author...
