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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Localised and nonuniform thermal states of super-Yang-Mills on a circle
Oscar J. C. Dias, Jorge E. Santos, Benson Way
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…
Towards Fluid Instabilities of Stationary Non-Killing Horizons
Sebastian Fischetti, Benson Way
Flowing black holes are asymptotically locally AdS spacetimes that are stationary but have non-Killing horizons. Holographically, they are dual to a steady-state heat flow in the b…
Localised Black Holes
Oscar J. C. Dias, Jorge E. Santos, Benson Way
We numerically construct asymptotically global black holes that are localised on the . These are solutions to type IIB supergravit…
Evidence for an Electrifying Violation of Cosmic Censorship
Gary T. Horowitz, Jorge E. Santos, Benson Way
We present a plausible counterexample to cosmic censorship in four dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory with asymptotically anti-de Sitter boundary conditions. Smooth initial data e…
Holographic partition functions and phases for higher genus Riemann surfaces
Henry Maxfield, Simon Ross, Benson Way
We describe a numerical method to compute the action of Euclidean saddlepoints for the partition function of a two-dimensional holographic CFT on a Riemann surface of arbitrary gen…
Numerical Methods for Finding Stationary Gravitational Solutions
Oscar J. C. Dias, Jorge E. Santos, Benson Way
The wide applications of higher dimensional gravity and gauge/gravity duality have fuelled the search for new stationary solutions of the Einstein equation (possibly coupled to mat…
Towards a violation of cosmic censorship
Benjamin E. Niehoff, Jorge E. Santos, Benson Way
Numerical evidence suggests that the superradiant instability of Kerr-AdS black holes and "black resonators" evolves to smaller and smaller scales towards a "limiting" black resona…
Black holes with a single Killing vector field: black resonators
Oscar J. C. Dias, Jorge E. Santos, Benson Way
We numerically construct asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) black holes in four dimensions that contain only a single Killing vector field. These solutions, which we coin black re…
