Angular Momenta in Vacuum Critical Collapse
Oscar J. C. Dias, Carsten Gundlach, Jorge E. Santos +1
We investigate the critical collapse of gravitational waves that carry angular momenta. Working in five-dimensional vacuum Einstein gravity under an SU symmet…
General Effective Theories of Black Holes in the Large D Limit
Roberto Emparan, Jordi Rafecas-Ventosa, Benson Way
We derive the general form of the effective equations governing black hole dynamics in the limit of a large number of dimensions . These split into a universal \emph{soap-bubble…
Spinning Black Binaries in de Sitter space
Oscar J. C. Dias, Jorge E. Santos, Benson Way
We construct stationary, rotating black binaries in general relativity with a positive cosmological constant. We consider identical black holes with either aligned or anti-aligned…
Static Black Binaries in de Sitter
Oscar J. C. Dias, Gary W. Gibbons, Jorge E. Santos +1
We construct the first four-dimensional multi-black hole solution of general relativity with a positive cosmological constant. The solution consists of two static black holes whose…
Superradiance and black resonator strings encounter helical black strings
Oscar J. C. Dias, Takaaki Ishii, Keiju Murata +2
We construct a cohomogeneity-1 helical black string in six-dimensional Einstein gravity. The helical solution branches from the onset of the gravitational superradiant instability…
Holographic duals of evaporating black holes
Roberto Emparan, Raimon Luna, Ryotaku Suzuki +2
We describe the dynamical evaporation of a black hole as the classical evolution in time of a black hole in an Anti-de Sitter braneworld. A bulk black hole whose horizon intersects…
Gregory-Laflamme and Superradiance encounter Black Resonator Strings
Oscar J. C. Dias, Takaaki Ishii, Keiju Murata +2
We construct novel black strings that are neither time-translation invariant, nor axisymmetric, nor translationally invariant in the string direction, but nevertheless have a helic…
The large D effective theory of black strings in AdS
David Licht, Ryotaku Suzuki, Benson Way
We study black strings/funnels and other black hole configurations in AdS that correspond to different phases of the dual CFT in black hole backgrounds, employing different approac…

Oscar J. C. Dias, Takaaki Ishii, Keiju Murata +2
We investigate the effect of superradiant scattering of gravitational perturbations on the stability of rotating black strings, focusing on the six dimensional equal-spinning Myers…
Black Tsunamis and Naked Singularities in AdS
Roberto Emparan, David Licht, Ryotaku Suzuki +2
We study the evolution of the Gregory-Laflamme instability for black strings in global AdS spacetime, and investigate the CFT dual of the formation of a bulk naked singularity. Usi…
Multioscillating black holes
Takaaki Ishii, Keiju Murata, Jorge E. Santos +1
We study rotating global AdS solutions in five-dimensional Einstein gravity coupled to a multiplet complex scalar within a cohomogeneity-1 ansatz. The onset of the gravitational an…
Quantum BTZ black hole
Roberto Emparan, Antonia Micol Frassino, Benson Way
We study a holographic construction of quantum rotating BTZ black holes that incorporates the exact backreaction from strongly coupled quantum conformal fields. It is based on an e…
Superradiant instability of black resonators and geons
Takaaki Ishii, Keiju Murata, Jorge E. Santos +1
Black resonators and geons in global AdS are rapidly rotating, low-energy solutions with a helical Killing field. We study the linear mode stability of equal angular momenta, five-…
Areas and entropies in BFSS/gravity duality
Tarek Anous, Joanna L. Karczmarek, Eric Mintun +2
The BFSS matrix model provides an example of gauge-theory / gravity duality where the gauge theory is a model of ordinary quantum mechanics with no spatial subsystems. If there exi…
New islands of stability with double-trace deformations
Ramon Masachs, Benson Way
We assess the role of a resonant spectrum in the AdS instability, and quantify the extent to which breaking the resonant spectrum of AdS can restore stability. Specifically, we stu…
Multi-oscillating Boson Stars
Matthew Choptuik, Ramon Masachs, Benson Way
We propose that stable boson stars generically fall within an infinite-parameter family of solutions that oscillate on any number of non-commensurate frequencies. We numerically co…
Holographic Signatures of Critical Collapse
Paul M. Chesler, Benson Way
Critical phenomena in gravitational collapse exhibit the universal features of self-similarity, critical scaling, and the appearance of a naked singularity. We study critical colla…
Gravitating Scalars and Critical Collapse in the Large Limit
Moshe Rozali, Benson Way
We develop the large limit of general relativity for spherically symmetric scalar fields in both asymptotically flat and asymptotically anti-de Sitter spaces. The leading order…
Charting the AdS Islands of Stability with Multi-oscillators?
Matthew Choptuik, Jorge E. Santos, Benson Way
We propose the existence of an infinite-parameter family of solutions in AdS that oscillate on any number of non-commensurate frequencies. Some of these solutions appear stable whe…
Lattice Black Branes: Sphere Packing in General Relativity
Oscar J. C. Dias, Jorge E. Santos, Benson Way
We perturbatively construct asymptotically black branes with multiple inhomogeneous directions and show that some of them are thermodynamically…
Collapse and Nonlinear Instability of AdS with Angular Momenta
Matthew W. Choptuik, Oscar J. C. Dias, Jorge E. Santos +1
We present a numerical study of rotational dynamics in AdS with equal angular momenta in the presence of a complex doublet scalar field. We determine that the endpoint of gravi…
Holographic Quenches in a Confined Phase
Robert C. Myers, Moshe Rozali, Benson Way
We investigate quenches of holographic theories in a confined phase, where the energy injected is insufficient to reach the deconfined phase. In such quenches, thermalization is no…

At low energies or temperatures, maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on with large gauge group and strong t'Hooft coupling is conject…
Dissonant Black Droplets and Black Funnels
Sebastian Fischetti, Jorge E. Santos, Benson Way
A holographic field theory on a fixed black hole background has a gravitational dual represented by a black funnel or a black droplet. These states are "detuned" when the temperatu…
