Amplified EFT corrections near exceptional QNMs

William L. Boyce, Jorge E. Santos

We show that the ordinary expansion of EFT corrections to individual QNM frequencies breaks down at an exceptional QNM, and that these corrections become enhanced for near-exceptio…

Axions Create Singularities on Extremal Horizons

Gary T. Horowitz, Maciej Kolanowski, Grant N. Remmen +1

We show that axions cause extremal black holes to have singular horizons. This is true for almost all values of the axion mass and coupling provided the black hole is rotating and…

After the Fluid: Subexponential Decay in AdS

John R. V. Crump, Jorge E. Santos

We study the late-time behaviour of nonlinear perturbations of Schwarzschild-AdS black branes and show that real-analytic initial data generically enter a regime controlled by…

Kerr Black Hole Ringdown in Effective Field Theory

William L. Boyce, Jorge E. Santos

We develop a systematic effective field theory calculation of the quasinormal modes of Kerr black holes valid for arbitrary spin, providing model-independent corrections to their r…

EFT Corrections to Charged Black Hole Quasinormal Modes

William L. Boyce, Jorge E. Santos

We study the impact of higher-derivative corrections from Effective Field Theory on the quasinormal mode spectrum of Reissner-Nordström black holes. While previous work has explore…

Self Gravitating Spinning String Condensates

Jorge E. Santos, Yoav Zigdon

In the context of the black hole/string transition, it is useful to produce Euclidean string backgrounds representing hot and self-gravitating strings. We utilise analytical and nu…

Mixmaster chaos in an AdS black hole interior

Marine De Clerck, Sean A. Hartnoll, Jorge E. Santos

We derive gravitational backgrounds that are asymptotically Anti-de Sitter, have a regular black hole horizon and which deep in the interior exhibit mixmaster chaotic dynamics. The…

Black holes with a single Killing vector field: black resonators

Oscar J. C. Dias, Jorge E. Santos, Benson Way

We numerically construct asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) black holes in four dimensions that contain only a single Killing vector field. These solutions, which we coin black re…
