The large D effective theory of black strings in AdS

David Licht, Ryotaku Suzuki, Benson Way

We study black strings/funnels and other black hole configurations in AdS that correspond to different phases of the dual CFT in black hole backgrounds, employing different approac…

Lattice Black Branes at Large

David Licht, Raimon Luna, Ryotaku Suzuki

We explore the phase space of non-uniform black branes compactified on oblique lattices with a large number of dimensions. We find the phase diagrams for different periodicities an…

Black Tsunamis and Naked Singularities in AdS

Roberto Emparan, David Licht, Ryotaku Suzuki +2

We study the evolution of the Gregory-Laflamme instability for black strings in global AdS spacetime, and investigate the CFT dual of the formation of a bulk naked singularity. Usi…

Entropy production and entropic attractors in black hole fusion and fission

Tomas Andrade, Roberto Emparan, Aron Jansen +3

We study how black hole entropy is generated and the role it plays in several highly dynamical processes: the decay of unstable black strings and ultraspinning black holes; the fus…

Black Ripples, Flowers and Dumbbells at large

David Licht, Raimon Luna, Ryotaku Suzuki

We explore the rich phase space of singly spinning (both neutral and charged) black hole solutions in the large limit. We find several 'bumpy' branches which are connected to m…

Black hole collisions, instabilities, and cosmic censorship violation at large D

Tomas Andrade, Roberto Emparan, David Licht +1

We study the evolution of black hole collisions and ultraspinning black hole instabilities in higher dimensions. These processes can be efficiently solved numerically in an effecti…

Cosmic censorship violation in black hole collisions in higher dimensions

Tomas Andrade, Roberto Emparan, David Licht +1

We argue that cosmic censorship is violated in the collision of two black holes in high spacetime dimension D when the initial total angular momentum is sufficiently large. The two…

Charged rotating black holes in higher dimensions

Tomas Andrade, Roberto Emparan, David Licht

We use a recent implementation of the large expansion in order to construct the higher-dimensional Kerr-Newman black hole and also new charged rotating black bar solutions of t…

Rotating black holes and black bars at large D

Tomas Andrade, Roberto Emparan, David Licht

We propose and demonstrate a new and efficient approach to investigate black hole dynamics in the limit of large number of dimensions . The basic idea is that an asymptotically…

Efficient Monte Carlo characterization of quantum operations for qudits

Giulia Gualdi, David Licht, Daniel M. Reich +1

For qubits, Monte Carlo estimation of the average fidelity of Clifford unitaries is efficient -- it requires a number of experiments that is independent of the number of qubits…
