We exhibit a tachyonic mode in a linearized analysis of perturbations of large anti-de Sitter Reissner-Nordstrom black holes in four dimensions. In the large black hole limit, and up to a 0.7% discrepancy which is probably round-off error in the numerical analysis, the tachyon appears precisely when the black hole becomes thermodynamically unstable.

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Curvature on S^3 decouples dynamical instabilities in R-charge transport from thermodynamic instabilities in N=4 SYM plasma at finite density, with thermodynamic instability persisting under volume fluctuations.

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    New exact non-SUSY black brane solutions in 10D heterotic supergravity with two gauge charges show a spontaneous symmetry breaking and dynamical instability at low temperature that predicts additional black hole solutions.
