Smeared D 0 charge and the Gubser - Mitra conjecture
نویسنده
چکیده
We relate a Dp or NS-brane with D0-brane charge smeared over its worldvolume to the system with no D0-charge. This allows us to generalise Reall’s partial proof of the Gubser-Mitra conjecture. We show explicitly for specific examples that the dynamical instability coincides with thermodynamic instability in the ensemble where the D0-brane charge can vary. We also comment on consistency checks of the conjecture for more complicated systems, using the example of the D4 with F1 and D0 charges smeared on its worldvolume.

Analytic evidence for the Gubser-Mitra conjecture
A simple master equation for the static perturbation of charged black strings is derived while employing the gauge proposed by Kol. As the charge is varied it is found that the potential in the master equation for the perturbations becomes positive exactly when the specific heat turns positive thus forbidding a bound state and the onset of the Gregory-Laflamme instability. It can safely be said...
متن کاملA holographic perspective on Gubser-Mitra conjecture
We point out an elementary thermodynamics fact that whenever the specific heat of a system is negative, the speed of sound in such a media is imaginary. The latter observation presents a proof of Gubser-Mitra conjecture on the relation between dynamical and thermodynamic instabilities for gravitational backgrounds with a translationary invariant horizon, provided such geometries can be interpre...
متن کاملClassical Stability of Black Branes ∗
Classical stability behaviors of various static black brane backgrounds under small perturbations have been summarized briefly. They include cases of black strings in AdS5 space, charged black p-brane solutions in the type II supergravity, and the BTZ black string in four-dimensions. The relationship between dynamical stability and local thermodynamic stability the so-called Gubser-Mitra conjec...
متن کاملClassical Stability of Charged Black Branes and the Gubser-Mitra Conjecture
We have investigated the classical stability of magnetically charged black p-brane solutions for string theories that include the case studied by Gregory and Laflamme. It turns out that the stability behaves very differently depending on a coupling parameter between dilaton and gauge fields. In the case of Gregory and Laflamme, it has been known that the black brane instability decreases monoto...
متن کاملOn the stability of AdS black strings
We explore via linearized perturbation theory the Gregory-Laflamme instability of the black string solutions of Einstein’s equations with negative cosmological constant recently discussed in literature. Our results indicate that the black strings whose conformal infinity is the product of time and S × S are stable for large enough values of the event horizon radius. All topological black string...
