The Special Role of Toroidal Black Holes in Holography
arXiv:2206.00198 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysb.2023.116126
Abstract
In the standard holographic ``dictionary'', the deep infrared of the strongly coupled boundary field theory is studied by examining the bulk region near to the event horizon of a simple AdS-Reissner-Nordström black hole, near to extremality. Recently Horowitz et al. have argued that this is not correct, \emph{except} in the case of small toroidal black holes, which are therefore revealed to be particularly interesting and important. On the other hand, the Weak Gravity Conjecture postulates that black holes (including toroidal black holes) which are extremely near to extremality spontaneously emit black holes of the same kind. We show that, in the toroidal case, these ``emitted'' black holes are always small in the sense of Horowitz et al. As an application, we discuss the Grinberg-Maldacena analysis of the way one-point functions, evaluated outside an AdS-Reissner-Nordström black hole, depend on the proper time of fall from the event horizon to the Cauchy horizon. We find that, for emitted toroidal black holes, this dependence effectively drops out.
