Results in brief

Fluid Dynamics and Quantum Gravity

Using and combining the experiences and tools from quantum field theory, gravity and fluid dynamics, the goal of this project was to address the challenging task of mapping the Navier-Stokes turbulence problem to a general relativity problem and to find new tools for constructing and analyzing black hole solutions. The project succeeded in reaching these goals, as it brought about the construction of several new classes of black ring and black hole solutions, the discovery of new symmetries in black hole space-times, and the understanding of the thermal helicity of conformal theories using the fluid-gravity correspondence.

Project objective

Using and combining the experiences and tools from quantum field theory, gravity and fluid dynamics, the goal of this proposal is to address the challenging task of mapping the Navier-Stokes turbulence problem to a general relativity problem. For this we will study fluctuations of certain d-dimensional geometries at a cutoff surface beyond the linear order, and study the map to the nonlinear fluid dynamics. We also aim to contribute further to the development of efficient methods for identifying the regular and stable black hole solutions. A preliminary screening already suggests the existence of a new well-behaved black hole solution, namely a supersymmetric helical black ring, which we want to engineer employing powerful solution generating techniques. Progress along these lines will certainly bring new insights to some of the most exciting and long standing problems in fluid dynamics and gravity
