The evolution of unstable black holes in anti-de Sitter space
نویسنده
چکیده
We examine the thermodynamic stability of large black holes in four-dimensional antide Sitter space, and we demonstrate numerically that black holes which lack local thermodynamic stability often also lack stability against small perturbations. This shows that no-hair theorems do not apply in anti-de Sitter space. A heuristic argument, based on thermodynamics only, suggests that if there are any violations of Cosmic Censorship in the evolution of unstable black holes in anti-de Sitter space, they are beyond the reach of a perturbative analysis.

Phase Transitions and Critical Behavior for Charged Black Holes
We investigate the thermodynamics of a four-dimensional charged black hole in a finite cavity in asymptotically flat and asymptotically de Sitter space. In each case, we find a Hawking-Page-like phase transition between a black hole and a thermal gas very much like the known transition in asymptotically anti-de Sitter space. For a " supercooled " black hole—a thermodynamically unstable black ho...
متن کاملBlack hole dynamics from thermodynamics in anti - de Sitter space
We work on the relation between the local thermodynamic instability and the dynamical instability of large black holes in four-dimensional anti-de Sitter space proposed by Gubser and Mitra. We find that all perturbations suppressing the metric fluctuations at linear order become dynamically unstable when black holes lose the local thermodynamic stability. We discuss how dynamical instabilities ...
متن کاملInstability of anti-de Sitter spacetime.
I will describe recent evidence that anti-de Sitter spacetime is nonlinearly unstable. Generic small but finite perturbations eventually form small black holes. I will also present evidence that there are special solutions, called geons, which remain close to anti-de Sitter. I will argue that one can put black holes inside the geons to obtain a family of black holes in anti-de Sitter spacetime ...
متن کاملPhases of R-charged Black Holes, Spinning Branes and Strongly Coupled Gauge Theories
We study the thermodynamic stability of charged black holes in gauged supergravity theories in D = 5, D = 4 and D = 7. We find explicitly the location of the Hawking-Page phase transition between charged black holes and the pure anti-de Sitter space-time, both in the grand-canonical ensemble, where electric potentials are held fixed, and in the canonical ensemble, where total charges are held f...
متن کاملBubbles in Anti-de Sitter Space
We explore the bubble spacetimes which can be obtained from double analytic continuations of static and rotating black holes in anti-de Sitter space. In particular, we find that rotating black holes with elliptic horizon lead to bubble spacetimes only in dimension greater than five. For dimension greater than seven, the topology of the bubble can be non-spherical. However, a bubble spacetime is...
