    Reviewer 1: "As a reviewer, I fully recommend the manuscript  for publication.
    Reasons:
    1. The manuscript is well written and well researched. The text shows a thorough knowledge of the subject treated.
    2. The manuscript is refreshingly speculative. Such papers are rare nowadays [...]. 
    It is rare to read such text, and therefore I am strongly in favour of publication.

    Reviewer: "[...] the paper goes beyond the check of the isoperimetric inequality. The authors take the rather interesting (and bold) point of view that the general relation [...] should be viewed as a fundamental condition (a "law of physics" as they put it) in any consistent theory of gravity, and not only in the cases where proofs (or strong independent argument) can be given [...] This means that, in set-ups where the condition may be violated, the actual physical systems realized in nature should satisfy constraints on the parameters so that the violation actually never occurs. This point of view yields rather interesting constraints, as explained in the paper, which, remarkably, seem to be always satisfied. [...]"

    Reviewer: "This is an interesting paper that recasts black hole dynamics for rotating black holes into a form that allows various conjectures (like the maximum force/tension conjecture for GR) to be considered in a new situation. The conjecture is found to hold good. The paper extends the thermodynamic and mechanical analogies for black holes by introducing the spring constant term for the black hole in the surface gravity and area laws. This will probably lead to further extensions in other situations. [...]"

    Reviewer: "the paper is interesting and correctly written [...] not all components of the vielbein can be determined from the equations of motion and initial conditions. This is illustrated in Section IV on a concrete example of the anisotropic cosmological metric: the degrees of freedom which correspond to the local Lorentz rotations cannot be determined fully. For this reason the evolution is not fully determined i.e. not unique, a property which is physically unacceptable.[...] The problem addressed in this paper, to examine the physical content of an alternative gravity theory is important, and along with a search for theories which provide models of the accelerated expansion of the Universe one should check for their general consistency."

"Evolution of Black Holes in Anti-de Sitter Spacetime and the Firewall Controversy",
Ph.D. Thesis , published in Springer Theses: Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research.

"Dr. Ong’s thesis reminds us [...] that while it may be consistent to ignore stringy objects in the bulk, it may not be. In particular, he reminds us that it is not correct to assume this for asymptotically AdS black holes which are highly charged (yet still sub-extremal). Such a black hole is a perfectly respectable object in classical general relativity, but not in string theory: even if one declares that the bulk is free of branes initially, one finds that, for a sufficiently highly charged black hole, branes will be produced in the bulk spontaneously, by a sort of generalized version of Schwinger pair-production. These branes will themselves modify the black hole geometry, and so the assumed existence of a long-lived black hole of this sort is ruled out. This is an unusual example of gauge-gravity duality being applied in the reverse of the usual direction: for the dual statement is simply that a plasma cannot be arbitrarily cold; a sufficiently cold plasma will hadronize. [...] The key observation here is that one must take into account the geometry of the bulk. The introduction of electric charge into the bulk changes its geometry, and the extended objects (such as branes) of string theory are directly sensitive to this geometry: it affects the relationship between brane areas and volumes in a way that, as Dr. Ong explains, is absolutely decisive. His call to “take geometry seriously” is thus exemplified in the strongest possible terms." -- Foreword by Prof. Brett McInnes.

If n is an even number

then I'll kiss you goodnight right here,

but if the modulus k is the unique solution,

I'll take you in my arms for the long night.
When the properties are constrained as well as incomplete,

I'll be getting off the train at this stop.

However, if there is some positive constant,

then I'll stay on board for a while longer.

When it says that the supremum deviates from the least zero, my heart closes off.

But if all moments are infinite and you can hear me,

I will open out for you.

This sequence satisfies the hypothesis of uniformity, and because we know that approximation is possible and that inequality is an embedding factor,

come, let's try once more.
