When Black Holes Meet Kaluza-Klein Bubbles
Henriette Elvang, Gary T. Horowitz
We explore the physical consequences of a recently discovered class of exact solutions to five dimensional Kaluza-Klein theory. We find a number of surprising features including: (…
Colliding Kaluza-Klein Bubbles
Gary T. Horowitz, Kengo Maeda
We construct an exact solution describing the collision of two Kaluza-Klein "bubbles of nothing" in 3+1 dimensions. When the bubbles collide, a curvature singularity forms which is…
Instability of Spacelike and Null Orbifold Singularities
Gary T. Horowitz, Joseph Polchinski
Time dependent orbifolds with spacelike or null singularities have recently been studied as simple models of cosmological singularities. We show that their apparent simplicity is a…
Playing with Black Strings
Gary T. Horowitz
We review recent work showing that there exists a large class of new stable black strings which are not translationally invariant. Both neutral and charged black strings are consid…
Clean Time-Dependent String Backgrounds from Bubble Baths
O. Aharony, M. Fabinger, G. Horowitz +1
We consider the set of controlled time-dependent backgrounds of general relativity and string theory describing ``bubbles of nothing'', obtained via double analytic continuation of…
Inhomogeneous Near-extremal Black Branes
Gary T. Horowitz, Kengo Maeda
It has recently been shown that there exist stable inhomogeneous neutral black strings in higher dimensional gravity. These solutions were motivated by the fact that the correspond…
Note on Gauge Theories on M/G and the AdS/CFT Correspondence
Gary T. Horowitz, Ted Jacobson
It is well known that a weakly coupled U(N) gauge theory on a torus with sides of length L has extra light states with energies of order 1/NL. We show that a similar result holds f…
