dc.description.abstract | We dynamically explore the Cosmic Censorship conjecture by studying asymptotically AdS solutions to Einstein-dilaton gravity in a boost-invariant setup. Our investigation reveals that even though a singularity is only found in the strict τ → ∞ limit, curvature invariants grow arbitrarily in an extended region of spacetime, for a generic range of initial conditions. This signals the breakdown of General Relativity, necessitating higher curvature corrections that become relevant within finite time. Hence, making quantum gravity effects significant and observable in a sizable region. Through gauge/gravity duality, we map these dynamics to fluid dynamics on the boundary, where higher curvature terms in the action correspond to finite N and finite coupling corrections, indicating stringy and quantum corrections in the holographic description of the dual plasma. | |
