Hovering Black Holes from Charged Defects
Gary T. Horowitz, Nabil Iqbal, Jorge E. Santos +1
We construct the holographic dual of an electrically charged, localised defect in a conformal field theory at strong coupling, by applying a spatially dependent chemical potential.…
Thermodynamics of the BMN matrix model at strong coupling
Miguel S. Costa, Lauren Greenspan, Joao Penedones +1
We construct the black hole geometry dual to the deconfined phase of the BMN matrix model at strong 't Hooft coupling. We approach this solution from the limit of large temperature…
Geons and the Instability of Anti-de Sitter Spacetime
Gary T. Horowitz, Jorge E. Santos
We briefly review the evidence that anti-de Sitter spacetime is nonlinearly unstable, and the perturbative arguments that there should exist geons - nonsingular solutions to Einste…
Black Droplets
Jorge E. Santos, Benson Way
Black droplets and black funnels are gravitational duals to states of a large N, strongly coupled CFT on a fixed black hole background. We numerically construct black droplets corr…
Cold planar horizons are floppy
Sean A. Hartnoll, Jorge E. Santos
Extremal planar black holes of four dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory with a negative cosmological constant have an AdS near horizon geometry. We show that this n…
Quasinormal modes of asymptotically flat rotating black holes
Oscar J. C. Dias, Gavin S. Hartnett, Jorge E. Santos
We study the main properties of general linear perturbations of rotating black holes in asymptotically flat higher-dimensional spacetimes. In particular, we determine the quasinorm…
