On the origin of species thermodynamics and the black hole - tower correspondence by Alvaro Herráez, Dieter Lüst, Joaquin Masias, Marco Scalisi

“…We highlight three relevant regimes: (i) when $L^{-1}< T<\Lambda_\mathrm{sp}$, and gravitational collapse is avoided, the system exhibits standard thermodynamics features, for example, with the entropy scaling like the volume of the box; (ii) in the limit $L^{-1}\simeq T→ \Lambda_\mathrm{sp}$ we recover the rules of species thermodynamics with the entropy scaling like the area of the box; (iii) an intermediate regime with $ L^{-1}\simeq T< \Lambda_\mathrm{sp}$ that avoids gravitational collapse and fulfills the Covariant Entropy Bound; this interpolates between the previous two regimes and its entropy is given simply in terms of the counting of the species contributing to the thermodynamic ensemble. …”

Magmatic fingerprints of subduction initiation and mature subduction: numerical modelling and observations from the Izu-Bonin-Mariana system by Sandrine Ritter, Attila Balázs, Julia Ribeiro, Taras Gerya

“…We aim to model the initiation and early stage of an intra-oceanic subduction zone connected to the gravitational collapse of a weak transform zone and compare it to the natural example of the Izu-Bonin-Mariana subduction zone. …”

Primordial Black Holes: Formation, Spin and Type II by Tomohiro Harada

“…Primordial black holes (PBHs) may have formed through the gravitational collapse of cosmological perturbations that were generated and stretched during the inflationary era, later entering the cosmological horizon during the decelerating phase, if their amplitudes were sufficiently large. …”
