Formation of extremal Reissner-Nordström black holes: insights from numerics
Maxime Gadioux, Harvey S. Reall, Jorge E. Santos
An extremal Reissner-Nordström black hole can form in finite time in the gravitational collapse of a massless charged scalar field. The proof of this is based on the method of cha…
Violation of the third law of black hole mechanics in vacuum gravity
John R. V. Crump, Maxime Gadioux, Harvey S. Reall +1
We demonstrate numerically the existence of solutions of five-dimensional vacuum gravity describing the formation, in finite time, of an extremal rotating black hole from a pre-exi…
Asymptotically Flat Rotating Topological Stars
Pierre Heidmann, Paolo Pani, Jorge E. Santos
We construct a new class of smooth, horizonless, non-supersymmetric solutions in five-dimensional minimal supergravity, which we call rotating topological stars. Built from a Kerr-…
Tails from the Bulk: Gravitational Decay in AdS
John R. V. Crump, Jorge E. Santos
We study gravitational perturbations of Schwarzschild-AdS black holes in and identify a regime of late-time power-law decay for smooth initial data. Based on an analysis of…
