We analyze the stability of the Euclidean Witten black hole (the cigar soliton in mathematics literature) under first-order RG (Ricci) flow of the world-sheet sigma model. This analysis is from the target space point of view. We find that the Witten black hole has no unstable normalizable perturbative modes in a linearized mode analysis in which we consider circularly symmetric perturbations. Finally, we discuss a result from mathematics that implies the existence of a non-normalizable mode of the Witten black hole under which the geometry flows to the sausage solution studied by Fateev, Onofri and Zamolodchikov.

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using Courant algebroid relations, the authors prove that geometric T-duality maps solutions of generalized Ricci flow to solutions of generalized Ricci flow, preserving the generalized string background equations.
