abstract

It is argued that many non-extremal black branes exhibit a classical Gregory-Laflamme instability if, and only if, they are locally thermodynamically unstable. For some black branes, the Gregory-Laflamme instability must therefore disappear near extremality. For the black $p$-branes of the type II supergravity theories, the Gregory-Laflamme instability disappears near extremality for $p=1,2,4$ but persists all the way down to extremality for $p=5,6$ (the black D3-brane is not covered by the analysis of this paper). This implies that the instability also vanishes for the near-extremal black M2 and M5-brane solutions.

  1. String stars in $d\geq 7$

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    String stars in d≥7 exist as higher-dimensional counterparts of Horowitz-Polchinski solutions, with perturbative d=7 solutions and normalizable candidates in d>7.

  2. On turbulence for spacetimes with stable trapping

    gr-qc 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    On a fixed spacetime with stable trapping, the cubic wave equation produces a forward angular-mode cascade and growth of higher-order derivatives, behavior absent for linear waves.

  3. String Theory in a Pinch: Resolving the Gregory-Laflamme Singularity

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Near-Hagedorn string solutions show that in five and six spacetime dimensions, the Gregory-Laflamme pinch halts at a stable stringy neck that slowly evaporates, avoiding a naked singularity.

  4. New analytic solutions of non-SUSY black branes in $10$-D heterotic supergravity and the phase transition

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.
