We consider coupled gravitational and electromagnetic perturbations of a family of five-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell solutions that describes both magnetized black strings and horizonless topological stars. We find that the odd perturbations of this background lead to a master equation with five Fuchsian singularities and compute its quasinormal mode spectrum using three independent methods: Leaver, WKB and numerical integration. Our analysis confirms that odd perturbations always decay in time, while spherically symmetric even perturbations may exhibit for certain ranges of the magnetic fluxes instabilities of Gregory-Laflamme type for black strings and of Gross-Perry-Yaffe type for topological stars. This constitutes evidence that topological stars and black strings are classically stable in a finite domain of their parameter space.

  1. Berry Picking: Random Wave Chaos Hierarchy for BPS Microstate Geometries

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Wave chaos in BPS microstate geometries strengthens toward black-hole-like throats while geodesic chaos weakens, and weak-coupling CFT Renyi entropies do not share that bulk hierarchy.

  2. Topological Stars and scalar wave equation: Exact resummation of the renormalized angular momentum in the eikonal limit

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For Topological Stars, the eikonal-limit renormalized angular momentum is expressed as hypergeometric functions tied to the null geodesic radial action, generalizing the Schwarzschild resummation.

  3. Scattering angle in a Topological Star spacetime: a self-force approach

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An analytic, large-angular-momentum scattering angle for unbound geodesics and scalar self-force in Topological Star spacetime, with an unresolved regulator in the conservative self-force piece.
