Supermassive black holes can capture or disrupt stars that come sufficiently close. This article reviews the dynamical processes by which stars or stellar remnants are placed onto loss-cone orbits and the implications for feeding rates. The capture rate is well defined for spherical galaxies with nuclear relaxation times that are shorter than the galaxys age. However, even the dense nucleus of the Milky Way may be less than one relaxation time old, and this is certainly the case for more massive galaxies; the capture rate in such galaxies is an initial-value problem with poorly-known initial conditions and the rate can be much higher, or much lower, than the rate in a collisionally relaxed nucleus. In nonspherical (axisymmetric, triaxial) galaxies, torquing of orbits by the mean field can dominate perturbations due to random encounters, leading to much higher capture rates than in the spherical geometry, particularly in (massive) galaxies with long central relaxation times. Relativistic precession plays a crucial role in mediating the capture of compact remnants from regions very near to the black hole, by destroying the orbital correlations that would otherwise dominate the torques. The complex dynamics of relativistic loss cones are not yet well enough understood for accurate estimates of compact-object (EMRI) capture rates to be made.

A new so-called `gravitational loss-cone instability in stellar systems has recently been investigated theoretically in the framework of linear perturbation theory and proved to be potentially important in understanding the physical processes in cent
res of galaxies, star clusters, and the Oort comet cloud. Using N-body simulations, we confirm previous findings and go beyond the linear theory. Unlike the well-known instabilities, the new one shows no notable change in spherical geometry of the cluster, but it significantly accelerates the speed of diffusion of particles in phase space leading to a repopulation of the loss cone and early instability saturation.
A gap in phase-space, the loss cone (LC), is opened up by a supermassive black hole (MBH) as it disrupts or accretes stars in a galactic centre. If a star enters the LC then, depending on its properties, its interaction with the MBH will either gener
ate a luminous electromagnetic flare or give rise to gravitational radiation, both of which are expected to have directly observable consequences. A thorough understanding of loss-cone refilling mechanisms is important for the prediction of astrophysical quantities, such as rates of tidal disrupting main-sequence stars, rates of capturing compact stellar remnants and timescales of merging binary MBHs. In this thesis, we use N-body simulations to investigate how noise from accreted satellites and other substructures in a galaxys halo can affect the LC refilling rate. Any N-body model suffers from Poisson noise which is similar to, but much stronger than, the two-body diffusion occurring in real galaxies. To lessen this spurious Poisson noise, we apply the idea of importance sampling to develop a new scheme for constructing N-body realizations of a galaxy model, in which interesting regions of phase-space are sampled by many low-mass particles. We use multimass N-body models of galaxies with centrally-embedded MBHs to study the effects of satellite flybys on LC refilling rates. We find that although the flux of stars into the initially emptied LC is enhanced, but the fuelling rate averaged over the entire subhalos is increased by only a factor 3 over the rate one expects from the Poisson noise due the discreteness of the stellar distribution.
Geometric Mean Market Makers (G3M) such as Uniswap, Sushiswap or Balancer are key building blocks of the nascent Decentralised Finance system. We establish non-arbitrage bounds for the wealth process of such Automated Market Makers in the presence of
transaction fees and highlight the dynamic of their so-called Impermanent Losses, which are incurred due to negative convexity and essentially void the benefits of portfolio diversification within G3Ms. We then turn to empirical data to establish if transaction fee income has historically been high enough to offset Impermanent Losses and allow G3M investments to outperform their continually rebalanced constant-mix portfolio counterparts. It appears that the median liquidity pool had a net nil ROI when taking Impermanent Losses into account. The cross-sectional dispersion of ROI has however been high and the pool net ROI ranking has been significantly autocorrelated for several weeks. This suggests that G3M pools are not yet efficiently arbitraged as agents may access ex-ante knowledge of which G3M pools are likely to be far better investment proposals than others. We finally focus on the UniswapV3 protocol, which introduced the notion of concentrated liquidity ranges and show that such a position can be replicated by leveraging a classic UniswapV2 pool while simultaneously hedging part of the underlying token price exposition. As such, the herein described Impermanent Loss dynamics also apply to UniswapV3 pools.
Galactic winds are associated with intense star formation and AGNs. Depending on their formation mechanism and velocity they may remove a significant fraction of gas from their host galaxies, thus suppressing star formation, enriching the intergalact
ic medium, and shaping the circumgalactic gas. However, the long-term evolution of these winds remains mostly unknown. We report the detection of a wind from NGC 3079 to at least 60 kpc from the galaxy. We detect the wind in FUV line emission to 60 kpc (as inferred from the broad FUV filter in GALEX) and in X-rays to at least 30~kpc. The morphology, luminosities, temperatures, and densities indicate that the emission comes from shocked material, and the O/Fe ratio implies that the X-ray emitting gas is enriched by Type II supernovae. If so, the speed inferred from simple shock models is about 500 km/s, which is sufficient to escape the galaxy. However, the inferred kinetic energy in the wind from visible components is substantially smaller than canonical hot superwind models.
Signal propagation in the non equilibirum evolution after quantum quenches has recently attracted much experimental and theoretical interest. A key question arising in this context is what principles, and which of the properties of the quench, determ
ine the characteristic propagation velocity. Here we investigate such issues for a class of quench protocols in one of the central paradigms of interacting many-particle quantum systems, the spin-1/2 Heisenberg XXZ chain. We consider quenches from a variety of initial thermal density matrices to the same final Hamiltonian using matrix product state methods. The spreading velocities are observed to vary substantially with the initial density matrix. However, we achieve a striking data collapse when the spreading velocity is considered to be a function of the excess energy. Using the fact that the XXZ chain is integrable, we present an explanation of the observed velocities in terms of excitations in an appropriately defined generalized Gibbs ensemble.
