The pith
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
The reading
What carries the argument
The load-bearing object is the large-$D$ effective description obtained by integrating out the radial direction: for RN-dS the horizon functions $m(t,z)$, $q(t,z)$, $p(t,z)$ satisfy the first-order system (5)–(7), and the GB-dS system is the analogous pair (21)–(22). Because these equations are first order in the polar angle, they allow non-smooth profiles at the equator $z=\pi/2$, which is how the two hemispheres can evolve with different amplitudes. The analytic solution (19), $m(t,z)=c\exp\left[\sum_{\ell\ge 2}(c_{\ell+}e^{-i\omega_{\ell+}t}+c_{\ell-}e^{-i\omega_{\ell-}t})\cos^\ell z\right]$, carries the argument: its exponents $\omega_{\ell\pm}$ are exactly the scalar gravitational quasinormal-mode frequencies, the $\ell=2$ mode has the largest growth rate, and the growing mode yields the spot and ring shapes.
What would settle it
A full nonlinear numerical evolution of an unstable RN-dS or GB-dS black hole at moderate dimension, say $D=8$, would settle the claim: the prediction fails if the instability threshold is not at the $P_2=2$ parameter line or if the horizon does not approach single-spot, double-spot, or ring-like localized mass configurations. A cheaper internal test is to evolve past $m\sim e^D$ and see whether the growth formula (15) breaks before any localized profile forms.
Extended reading notes
Core claim
The central claim is that the “$\Lambda$ instability” of RN-dS and GB-dS black holes has a sharp nonlinear threshold at $P_2=2$, matching the linear onset, and that the unstable evolution is captured by an explicit time-dependent solution of the large-$D$ effective equations. On the threshold the system relaxes to stationary lumpy black holes of the form $m(z)=(1+Q^2)e^{P_1(\cos z)^{P_2}}$, which at the threshold is $m(z)=(1+Q^2)e^{a\cos^2 z}$. In the unstable region $P_2>2$, the mass distribution obeys $m(t,z)=(1+Q^2)e^{a e^{\omega t}\cos^2 z}$ with $\omega=\left(\sqrt{2(1+Q^2)^2\hat\Lambda+2Q^2-1}-1\right)/(1+Q^2)$, so the mass concentrates at the north pole, the south pole, both poles, or the equator depending on the initial perturbation. These late-time profiles are argued to resemble fully localized black spots ($S^{D-2}$) and black rings ($S^1\times S^{D-3}$). The paper also gives an exact nonlinear solution whose exponents reproduce the scalar quasinormal-mode spectrum, showing why the $\ell=2$ mode dominates and why the threshold is set by $P_2=2$.
Load-bearing premise
The argument rests on the leading-order large-$D$ effective equations faithfully encoding the true nonlinear horizon dynamics, and the paper itself concedes that once $m$ grows to order $e^D$ the $1/D$ expansion is no longer valid, so the localized spot and ring shapes may be artifacts of the regime where the effective theory has broken down.
Editorial extensions
If this is right
- Nonlinear and linear thresholds coincide: whenever $P_2=2$ the perturbation is marginal, and for $P_2>2$ there is no static lumpy endpoint, only time-dependent evolution.
- On the threshold the attractor is a one-parameter family of stationary lumpy holes, with the amplitude selected by the initial data, so thermodynamics at leading order in $1/D$ does not fix the final shape.
- In the unstable region the effective mass density grows as $e^{\omega t}$ until the $1/D$ expansion breaks down, after which a localized spot or ring is the natural configuration at finite $D$.
- In asymptotically flat or AdS backgrounds, both charged and Gauss–Bonnet black holes are stable, confirming that the instability needs a positive cosmological constant plus charge or Gauss–Bonnet coupling.
- The $\ell=2$ dominance in the nonlinear solution gives a concrete prediction: the final lumpy or localized shape is controlled by the quadrupole harmonic of the initial perturbation.
Reading between the lines
- Because the equator non-smoothness comes from the first-order-in-$z$ form of the large-$D$ equations, a natural next step is to include $1/D$ corrections and check whether the single/double spot and ring patterns survive once second derivatives restore smoothness.
- If the spot and ring end states exist at finite $D$, the $\Lambda$ instability would be a topology-changing mechanism distinct from the black-string instability, and testing it would bear on the conjecture that the black-string instability is the only topology-changing mechanism in vacuum gravity.
- The exponential-growth template $e^{a e^{\omega t}\cos^2 z}$ may describe other large-$D$ instabilities with a dominant $\ell=2$ mode, such as ultraspinning and bar-mode instabilities, whose endpoint shape could be read off from the same formula.
- A finite-$D$ numerical simulation with the same charge and cosmological-constant parameters would provide a sharp test: if its threshold does not lie on $P_2=2$, the large-$D$ effective equations are not quantitatively faithful.

Referee Report
Summary. This paper applies the large-D (1/D) expansion to study the nonlinear fate of the 'Λ instability' of Reissner-Nordstrom-de Sitter (RN-dS) and Gauss-Bonnet-de Sitter (GB-dS) black holes. Working with the effective, first-order-in-time equations (5)-(7) and (21)-(22), the authors identify the instability threshold with the linear condition P2=2, construct static 'lumpy' solutions, and present an analytic time-dependent solution whose linearized spectrum reproduces the quasinormal-mode spectra of Refs. [21,22]. By numerically evolving random small perturbations, they report that on the threshold the solutions settle to stationary lumpy black holes, while in the unstable region the mass density grows exponentially and, at late times, resembles single-spot, double-spot, or black-ring configurations. The paper also reports stability of the corresponding flat and AdS cases.
Significance. The paper contains useful and, if corrected, publishable results: the analytic solution connecting the nonlinear evolution to the known quasinormal-mode spectra is a valuable consistency check, and the identification of the nonlinear threshold with P2=2 is a physically relevant statement. The authors also deserve credit for explicitly acknowledging that the 1/D expansion breaks down when m is of order e^D and for discussing the limitations of their end-state classification. However, the printed equations contain a sign inconsistency that invalidates the static and analytic solutions as stated, and the central late-time spot/ring claim lies outside the controlled regime of the effective theory. The manuscript requires correction and re-verification before the results can be accepted.
major comments (3)
- [§3.1, Eqs. (5)-(8), (17)-(19)] The static lumpy solution (8) is not a solution of the printed effective equations. Substituting q = Q m/(1+Q^2) and p = m' into Eq. (6) at partial_t m = 0 gives 2 cot z m' = 0, which is nonzero for generic P1 and P2; Eq. (5) likewise requires p = -m'. The same problem occurs for the analytic solution: inserting (17) and (18) into (6) yields 2 cot z m' instead of zero. The correct relation appears to be p = -m' - tan z partial_t m (with p = -m' in the static case). Please correct the sign convention in the effective equations or in the momentum ansatz, and re-check the derivation of the static-solution branches and of the exact solution, since as printed the central analytic results are unverifiable.
- [§3.1, Eq. (15); Sec. 4] The late-time single-spot/double-spot/black-ring classification is an extrapolation beyond the domain of validity of the 1/D expansion. As the paper itself states in Sec. 4, once m grows to order e^D the expansion is no longer valid; for the mode in Eq. (15) this occurs at t_* ~ omega^{-1} log(D/a). The snapshots in Fig. 4 are taken in this late-time regime, so the effective equations do not control the claimed localized configurations. The abstract's statement that the unstable solutions 'resemble fully localized black spots and black ring' is therefore not established by the present calculation; it should be presented as a speculative analogy unless the localized regime is treated with a separate large-D rescaling such as that of Ref. [36].
- [§3.1, Figs. 2-4] The numerical evidence for the threshold and for the three late-time classes lacks convergence tests and error estimates. The manuscript reports only that NDSolve was used with random initial amplitudes up to 10^{-3}; no grid resolution, time-stepping, or consistency checks are given. In view of the sign inconsistency in the printed equations, it is not even clear whether the code implements Eq. (6) or a corrected version. Please state the numerical scheme, the exact sign convention used, and provide convergence data (e.g., Richardson extrapolation or residual checks) for at least one representative parameter point.
minor comments (5)
- [§3.1, Eq. (16)] The display of omega in Eq. (16) is ambiguous because the square-root bracket is not closed. Please write, for example, omega = (sqrt(2(1+Q^2)^2 Lambda_hat + 2Q^2 - 1) - 1)/(1+Q^2) and confirm that P2=2 gives omega=0.
- [§3.2, Eq. (22)] Equation (22) is typeset with unbalanced parentheses and missing bracket closures in the coefficients of partial_z p and partial_z m; it should be reformatted so that the PDE can be read unambiguously.
- [§2, after Eq. (8)] The phrase 'P2 is an positive integer' contains a typo ('an' should be 'a'), and the quantization condition should also state explicitly that P2 must be a positive integer for regularity at z=pi/2.
- [§4] In the sentence 'the non-linear evolution of the Myers-Perry black holes agrees qualitatively well with the full numerical stimulation,' 'stimulation' should be 'simulation.'
- [Fig. 1 caption] The caption states that the vertical axes are not uniformized; please specify the normalization or make clear that the plots are schematic, since otherwise the shapes of m(z) are not quantitatively interpretable.
Circularity Check
No significant circularity: the nonlinear evolution is solved from the large-D effective equations and checked against independent linear spectra; the self-cited GB input is a derived effective theory, not an unverified premise.
full rationale
The paper's derivation chain is: (i) adopt the large-D effective equations for RN-dS and GB-dS from prior work, (ii) solve them nonlinearly both numerically and analytically, and (iii) compare the resulting instability thresholds and mode spectra with linear analyses. None of these steps fits a parameter to the target prediction or defines a quantity in terms of the claimed result. The analytical solution (17)-(19) yields frequencies (20) that are stated to coincide with the quasinormal mode spectra of [21]; this is a consistency check, not an input, since the frequencies are derived from the effective equations rather than imported. The same holds for the GB case, where the effective equations (21)-(22) and mode spectra (24) come from [22], a paper authored in part by the present authors. This self-citation is load-bearing for the GB section, but [22] provides a derived large-D effective theory with stated assumptions, not an ansatz tailored to the end-state claim, so it does not reduce the present derivation to an unverified assertion. The authors also explicitly disclaim that the leading-order equations determine the ultimate fate: 'The mass density of the solutions grows very fast with time, thus when it becomes comparable with e^D, the 1/D expansion will not be valid. So the large D method cannot really tell us the end state of the unstable RN-dS black hole.' The spot/ring classification is therefore presented as suggestive rather than as a derived prediction. I note in passing that the printed sign in Eq. (6) appears inconsistent with the static ansatz p=m' of Eq. (8) and with Eq. (18); this is an internal correctness/typo issue, not a circularity. Overall, the central nonlinear results are obtained from the stated effective equations and are not equivalent to their inputs by construction.

abstract
We study non-linearly the gravitational instabilities of Reissner-Nordstrom-de Sitter and Gauss-Bonnet-de Sitter black holes by using the large $D$ expansion method. In both cases, the thresholds of the instability are found to be consistent with the linear analysis, and on the thresholds the evolutions of the black holes under perturbations settle down to stationary lumpy solutions. However, the solutions in unstable region are highly time-dependent, and resemble the fully localized black spots and black ring with $S^{D-2}$ and $S^1\times S^{D-3}$ topologies, respectively. Our study indicates the possible transition between the lumpy black holes and localized black holes in higher dimensions.
