Stability and Binding Energy of Small Asymptotically Randall-Sundrum Black Holes
Scott Fraser, Douglas M. Eardley
We study the binding of a small black hole to a positive-tension brane in the second Randall-Sundrum scenario (RS2) with orbifold symmetry. We find that a small black hole on the b…
A Variational Principle for Asymptotically Randall-Sundrum Black Holes
Scott Fraser, Douglas M. Eardley
We prove the following variational principle for asymptotically Randall-Sundrum (RS) black holes, based on the first law of black hole mechanics: Instantaneously static initial dat…
First Law and a Variational Principle for Static Asymptotically Randall-Sundrum Black Holes
Scott Fraser, Douglas M. Eardley
We give a new, intrinsic, mass definition for spacetimes asymptotic to the Randall-Sundrum braneworld models, RS1 and RS2. For this mass, we prove a first law for static black hole…
Climate Engineering Responses to Climate Emergencies
J. J. Blackstock, D. S. Battisti, K. Caldeira +7
Despite efforts to stabilize CO_2 concentrations, it is possible that the climate system could respond abruptly with catastrophic consequences. Intentional intervention in the clim…
Classical Black Hole Production in High-Energy Collisions
Douglas M. Eardley, Steven B. Giddings
We investigate classical formation of a D-dimensional black hole in a high energy collision of two particles. The existence of an apparent horizon is related to the solution of an…
Puncture of gravitating domain walls
Andrew Chamblin, Douglas M. Eardley
We investigate the semi-classical instability of vacuum domain walls to processes where the domain walls decay by the formation of closed string loop boundaries on their worldvolum…
