On the Stress Tensor for Asymptotically Flat Gravity
Robert B. Mann, Donald Marolf, Robert McNees +1
The recent introduction of a boundary stress tensor for asymptotically flat spacetimes enabled a new construction of energy, momentum, and Lorentz charges. These charges are known…
Collisions with Black Holes and Deconfined Plasmas
Aaron J. Amsel, Donald Marolf, Amitabh Virmani
We use AdS/CFT to investigate i) high energy collisions with balls of deconfined plasma surrounded by a confining phase and ii) the rapid localized heating of a deconfined plasma.…
Dynamics and Stability of Black Rings
Henriette Elvang, Roberto Emparan, Amitabh Virmani
We examine the dynamics of neutral black rings, and identify and analyze a selection of possible instabilities. We find the dominating forces of very thin black rings to be a Newto…
A black hole instability in five dimensions?
Donald Marolf, Amitabh Virmani
We study the moduli-space scattering of a two-charge supertube in the background of a rotating BPS D1-D5-P black hole in 4+1 dimensions, extending the static analysis of Bena and K…
