Black Rings, Boosted Strings and Gregory-Laflamme
J. L. Hovdebo, R. C. Myers
We investigate the Gregory-Laflamme instability for black strings carrying KK-momentum along the internal direction. We demonstrate a simple kinematical relation between the thresh…

Instability of non-supersymmetric smooth geometries
V. Cardoso, O. J. C. Dias, J. L. Hovdebo +1
Recently certain non-supersymmetric solutions of type IIb supergravity were constructed [hep-th/0504181], which are everywhere smooth, have no horizons and are thought to describe…

Bouncing Braneworlds Go Crunch!
Jordan L. Hovdebo, Robert C. Myers
Recently, interesting braneworld cosmologies in the Randall-Sundrum scenario have been constructed using a bulk spacetime which corresponds to a charged AdS black hole. In particul…
