Research Summary

Gabriel Arenas-Henriquez works on black holes, holography, and gravitational thermodynamics, especially in settings where boundary conditions and acceleration modify the usual AdS/CFT picture. His recent studies of accelerating black holes in three dimensions clarify how horizons, thermodynamic phases, and holographic boundary data fit together in lower-dimensional gravity. Related work on Fefferman-Graham gauges, boundary Weyl structures, de Sitter entropy corrections, and fluid/gravity radiation explores how gravitational observables change under different asymptotic, thermodynamic, or flat-limit regimes.
