Counting States of Black Strings with Traveling Waves II

چکیده
We extend our recent analysis of the entropy of extremal black strings with traveling waves. We previously considered waves carrying linear momentum on black strings in six dimensions. Here we study waves carrying angular momentum on these strings, and also waves carrying linear momentum on black strings in five dimensions. In both cases, we show that the horizon remains homogeneous and compute its area. We also count the number of BPS states at weak string coupling with the same distribution of linear and angular momentum, and find complete agreement with the black string entropy.

Counting States of Black Strings with Traveling Waves
We consider a family of solutions to string theory which depend on arbitrary functions and contain regular event horizons. They describe six dimensional extremal black strings with traveling waves and have an inhomogeneous distribution of momentum along the string. The structure of these solutions near the horizon is studied and the horizon area computed. We also count the number of BPS string ...

متن کاملBlack Strings and Classical Hair
We examine the geometry near the event horizon of a family of black string solutions with traveling waves. It has previously been shown that the metric is continuous there. Contrary to expectations, we find that the geometry is not smooth, and the horizon becomes singular whenever a wave is present. Both five dimensional and six dimensional black strings are considered with similar results.
متن کاملGravitational waves, black holes and cosmic strings in cylindrical symmetry
The emission of gravitational waves by black holes is under intense investigation, in preparation for the expected observational study of black holes and other astrophysical objects by upcoming gravitational-wave detectors. Most of this work is either numerical or in an approximation, since we lack a full physical understanding of the dynamics of black holes and gravitational waves. The accepte...
متن کاملSuperradiant instabilities of rotating black branes and strings
Black branes and strings are generally unstable against a certain sector of gravitational perturbations. This is known as the Gregory-Laflamme instability. It has been recently argued [1, 2] that there exists another general instability affecting many rotating extended black objects. This instability is in a sense universal, in that it is triggered by any massless field, and not just gravitatio...
