Fate of the black string instability.
Gregory and Laflamme showed that certain nonextremal black strings (and p-branes) are unstable to linearized perturbations. It is widely believed that this instability will cause the black string horizon to classically pinch off and then quantum mechanically separate, resulting in higher dimensional black holes. We argue that this cannot happen. Under very mild assumptions, classical event hori...
متن کاملAnomaly induced effective actions and Hawking radiation
In the mid-seventies Hawking [1] showed that black holes are quantum mechanically unstable: they decay by the emission of thermal radiation at a temperature inversely proportional to their mass, i.e. TH = (8πM)−1 in units where h̄ = c = G = kB = 1. This is one of the most astonishing discoveries of theoretical physics in the second half of the century. Nowadays black hole radiation and its therm...
متن کاملCurvature driven diffusion, Rayleigh-Plateau, and Gregory-Laflamme
It can be expected that the respective endpoints of the Gregory-Laflamme black brane instability and the Rayleigh-Plateau membrane instability are related because the bifurcation diagrams of the black hole-black string system and the liquid drop-liquid bridge system display many similarities. In this paper, we investigate the non-linear dynamics of the Rayleigh-Plateau instability in a range of...
متن کاملTopology change in General Relativity, and the black-hole black-string transition
In the presence of compact dimensions massive solutions of General Relativity may take one of several forms including the black-hole and the black-string, the simplest relevant background being R3+1 × S. It is shown how Morse theory places constraints on the qualitative features of the phase diagram, and a minimalistic diagram is suggested which describes a first order transition whose only sta...
متن کاملThe Inside Story: Quasilocal Tachyons and Black Holes
We analyze the fate of excitations in regions of closed string tachyon condensate, a question crucial for understanding unitarity in a class of black holes in string theory. First we introduce a simple new example of quasilocal tachyon condensation in a globally stable AdS/CFT background, and review tachyons’ appearance in black hole physics. Then we calculate forces on particles and fields in ...
