Localized Black Holes in AdS: What Happens Below c/12 Stays Below c/12
Iosif Bena, Raphaël Dulac, Pierre Heidmann +1
We construct asymptotically AdSST black holes that are localized on the S and co-exist with the BTZ black hole at small positive energies. These black…
KKLT Ex Nihilo
Iosif Bena, Yixuan Li, Severin Lüst
Flux compactifications that give three- or four-dimensional Anti de Sitter vacua with a parametrically small negative cosmological constant are claimed to be ubiquitous in String T…
On the supersymmetries of branes with fluxes
Iosif Bena, Raphaël Dulac
The Dirac-Born-Infled action that describes the dynamics of D branes also allows one to compute the supersymmetries they preserve using the Kappa-symmetry projector. The ''Lagrangi…
The M2-M5 Mohawk
Iosif Bena, Soumangsu Chakraborty, Dimitrios Toulikas +1
We show that the near-brane back-reaction of M2 branes ending on M5 branes has a rich "spike structure" that is determined by partitioning the numbers of M2 branes that are termina…
Non-spinning tops are stable
Iosif Bena, Giorgio Di Russo, Jose Francisco Morales +1
We consider coupled gravitational and electromagnetic perturbations of a family of five-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell solutions that describes both magnetized black strings and hori…
Waves on Mazes
Iosif Bena, Raphaël Dulac, Anthony Houppe +2
One way to describe the entropy of black holes comes from partitioning momentum charge across fractionated intersecting brane systems. Here we construct -BPS solutions…
