  • Embedding AdS Black Holes in Ten and Eleven Dimensions (715 citations)
  • The General Kerr-de Sitter metrics in all dimensions (464 citations)
  • Dualisation of dualities (384 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

H. Lu mainly investigates Mathematical physics, Supergravity, Theoretical physics, Supersymmetry and Black hole. The study incorporates disciplines such as Quantum mechanics and Scalar in addition to Mathematical physics. His Supergravity research includes themes of Brane cosmology, Brane and Dimensional reduction.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Holonomy, Minkowski space and Spinor. His work in Black hole covers topics such as Classical mechanics which are related to areas like Spacetime, De Sitter universe and Curvature. His Einstein study combines topics in areas such as Gravitation and Cosmological constant.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mathematical physics (76.59%)
  • Supergravity (42.51%)
  • Theoretical physics (27.72%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Mathematical physics (76.59%)
  • Black hole (19.29%)
  • Einstein (17.23%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

H. Lu mainly focuses on Mathematical physics, Black hole, Einstein, Gravitation and Theoretical physics. His Mathematical physics research integrates issues from Conjecture, Scalar and Graviton. His Black hole study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Horizon and Classical mechanics.

H. Lu has researched Einstein in several fields, including Space, Cosmological constant and AdS/CFT correspondence. His work deals with themes such as Supergravity, Massive gravity and Universe, which intersect with Theoretical physics. Supergravity and Space time are two areas of study in which H. Lu engages in interdisciplinary work.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Horndeski gravity as D → 4 limit of Gauss-Bonnet (84 citations)
  • Thermodynamics of charged black holes in Einstein-Horndeski-Maxwell theory (55 citations)
  • Holographic complexity and two identities of action growth (52 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Mathematical analysis
  • Geometry

His primary areas of investigation include Mathematical physics, Gravitation, Black hole, Einstein and Cosmological constant. His Mathematical physics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of AdS/CFT correspondence and Classical mechanics. His studies in Gravitation integrate themes in fields like Critical phenomena and Minkowski space.

As a member of one scientific family, H. Lu mostly works in the field of Minkowski space, focusing on D-brane and, on occasion, Supergravity. His work on Charged black hole, Schwarzschild radius and Black hole thermodynamics as part of his general Black hole study is frequently connected to Charged particle, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. H. Lu works mostly in the field of Einstein, limiting it down to topics relating to Anti-de Sitter space and, in certain cases, Spacetime, Gravitational singularity, Conservation law, Electric charge and Dyon, as a part of the same area of interest.
