How hairy can a black ring be?
Gary T. Horowitz, Harvey S. Reall
It has been shown recently that there is a large class of supersymmetric solutions of five-dimensional supergravity which generalize the supersymmetric black ring solution of Elvan…
Designer Gravity and Field Theory Effective Potentials
Thomas Hertog, Gary T. Horowitz
Motivated by the AdS/CFT correspondence, we show that there is a remarkable agreement between static supergravity solutions and extrema of a field theory potential. For essentially…
Spacetime in String Theory
Gary T. Horowitz
We give a brief overview of the nature of spacetime emerging from string theory. This is radically different from the familiar spacetime of Einstein's relativity. At a perturbative…
Towards a Big Crunch Dual
Thomas Hertog, Gary T. Horowitz
We show there exist smooth asymptotically anti-de Sitter initial data which evolve to a big crunch singularity in a low energy supergravity limit of string theory. This opens up th…
Update on Cosmic Censorship Violation in AdS
Thomas Hertog, Gary T. Horowitz, Kengo Maeda
We reexamine our proposed counterexample (gr-qc/0307102) to cosmic censorship in anti de Sitter (AdS) space, and find a gap in the construction. We mention some possible ways to cl…
