Black Holes and Black Strings on Cylinders
نویسنده
چکیده
We review the recently discovered ansatz that describes non-extremal charged dilatonic branes of string/M-theory with a transverse circle. The ansatz involves a new coordinate system that interpolates between the spherical and cylindrical case, and reduces the equations of motion to a set of equations on one unknown function of two variables. The function is independent of the charge, so that the ansatz can also be used to construct neutral black holes on cylinders and near-extremal charged dilatonic branes with a transverse circle. The construction enables us to argue that, for sufficiently large mass, there exists a neutral solution that breaks translational invariance in the circle direction, and has larger entropy than that of the neutral black string of the same mass.

Small Black Holes on Cylinders
We find the metric of small black holes on cylinders, i.e. neutral and static black holes with a small mass in d-dimensional Minkowski-space times a circle. The metric is found using an ansatz for black holes on cylinders proposed in hep-th/0204047. We use the new metric to compute corrections to the thermodynamics which is seen to deviate from that of the (d + 1)-dimensional Schwarzschild blac...
متن کاملNew Phase Diagram for Black Holes and Strings on Cylinders
We introduce a novel type of phase diagram for black holes and black strings on cylinders. The phase diagram involves a new asymptotic quantity called the relative binding energy. We plot the uniform string and the non-uniform string solutions in this new phase diagram using data of Wiseman. Intersection rules for branches of solutions in the phase diagram are deduced from a new Smarr formula t...
متن کاملPhase Structure of Black Holes and Strings on Cylinders
We use the (M,n) phase diagram recently introduced in hep-th/0309116 to investigate the phase structure of black holes and strings on cylinders. We first prove that any static neutral black object on a cylinder can be put into an ansatz for the metric originally proposed in hep-th/0204047, generalizing a result of Wiseman. Using the ansatz, we then show that all branches of solutions obey the f...
متن کاملExact Description of Black Holes on Branes II: Comparison with BTZ Black Holes and Black Strings
We extend our recent discussion of four-dimensional black holes bound to a two-brane to include a negative cosmological constant on the brane. We find that for large masses, the solutions are precisely BTZ black holes on the brane, and BTZ ‘black strings’ in the bulk. For smaller masses, there are localized black holes which look like BTZ with corrections that fall off exponentially. We compute...
متن کاملConstraints on cosmic strings due to black holes formed from collapsed cosmic string loops.
The cosmological features of primordial black holes formed from collapsed cosmic string loops are studied. Observational restrictions on a population of primordial black holes are used to restrict f , the fraction of cosmic string loops which collapse to form black holes, and µ, the cosmic string mass-per-unit-length. Using a realistic model of cosmic strings, we find the strongest restriction ...
