LG (Landau-Ginzburg) in GL (Gregory-Laflamme)
Barak Kol, Evgeny Sorkin
This paper continues the study of the Gregory-Laflamme instability of black strings, or more precisely of the order of the transition, being either first or second order, and the c…
On Choptuik's scaling in higher dimensions
Evgeny Sorkin, Yonatan Oren
We extend Choptuik's scaling phenomenon found in general relativistic critical gravitational collapse of a massless scalar field to higher dimensions. We find that in the range 4 <…
A critical dimension in the black-string phase transition
Evgeny Sorkin
In spacetimes with compact dimensions there exist several black object solutions including the black-hole and the black-string. These solutions may become unstable depending on the…
Caged Black Holes: Black Holes in Compactified Spacetimes II - 5d Numerical Implementation
Evgeny Sorkin, Barak Kol, Tsvi Piran
We describe the first convergent numerical method to determine static black hole solutions (with S^3 horizon) in 5d compactified spacetime. We obtain a family of solutions parametr…
Caged Black Holes: Black Holes in Compactified Spacetimes I -- Theory
Barak Kol, Evgeny Sorkin, Tsvi Piran
In backgrounds with compact dimensions there may exist several phases of black objects including the black-hole and the black-string. The phase transition between them raises puzzl…
Initial Data for Black Holes and Black Strings in 5d
Evgeny Sorkin, Tsvi Piran
We explore time-symmetric hypersurfaces containing apparent horizons of black objects in a 5d spacetime with one coordinate compactified on a circle. We find a phase transition wit…
