Slow Complexification
Brett McInnes
The fact that AdS black hole interior geometries are time-dependent presents two challenges: first, to holographic duality (the boundary matter tends to equilibrate, often very qui…
Why is Black Hole Entropy Affected by Rotation?
Brett McInnes
It is well known that an asymptotically flat four-dimensional Kerr black hole has a smaller (specific) entropy than a Schwarzschild black hole of the same mass. We show here that t…
The Special Role of Toroidal Black Holes in Holography
Brett McInnes
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 s…
Planar Black Holes as a Route to Understanding the Weak Gravity Conjecture
Brett McInnes
One version of the Weak Gravity Conjecture requires that it should be possible for an extremal black hole to emit a smaller black hole: that is, the original black hole bifurcates.…
Extremal Instability for Topological Black Holes
Brett McInnes
The initial idea underlying the Weak Gravity Conjecture is that extremal black holes must always be "unstable", in the sense that they should slowly decay by emitting either partic…
Extremal Bifurcations of Rotating AdS Black Holes
Brett McInnes
The Weak Gravity Conjecture arises from the assertion that all extremal black holes, even those which are "classical" in the sense of being very massive, must decay by quantum-mech…
