SNUTP 99-015 Localization instability in the rotating D-branes
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the microcanonical ensemble for string theory on AdSm × Sn, there is a phase transition between a black hole solution extended over the Sn and a solution localized on the Sn if the AdSm has the topology R2 × Sm−2. The phase transition will not appear if the AdSm has the topology R2 × Tm−2, that is, when the AdSm × Sn geometry is regarded as arising from the nearhorizon limit of a black m− 2 brane. In this paper, we argue that when the black branes are rotating, the localization phase transition will occur between some rotating branes and corresponding Kerr black holes when the angular momentum reaches its critical value.

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...
متن کاملFragmentation of Spinning Branes
The near-horizon geometries of the spinning D3-, M2and M5-branes are examined by the probes immersed in a co-rotating frame. It is found that the geometries become unstable at critical values of the spin angular velocity by emitting the branes. We show that this instability corresponds to the metastability of the black hole systems and different from the known (local) thermodynamic instability....

متن کاملCritical behavior in the rotating D-branes
The low energy excitation of the rotating D3-branes is thermodynamically stable up to a critical angular momentum density. This indicates that there is a corresponding phase transition of the N=4 large N super Yang-Mills theory at finite temperature. On the side of supergravity, we investigate the phase transition in the grand canonical ensemble and canonical ensemble. Some critical exponents o...
