We investigate some of the issues relating to the dynamical instability of general static spacetimes with horizons. Our paper will be partially pedagogical and partially exploratory in nature. After discussing the current understanding, we generalize the proposal of Gubser and Mitra, which identifies dynamical instability of black branes with local thermodynamic instability, to include all product spacetimes with the horizon uniformly smeared over an internal space. We support our conjecture by explicitly exhibiting a threshold unstable mode for Schwarzschild-AdS_5 x S^5 black hole. Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, this simultaneously yields a prediction for a phase transition in the dual gauge theory. We also discuss implications for spacetimes with cosmological horizons.

  1. Grey Galaxies in $AdS_5$

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    AdS5 grey galaxies come in rank-2 and rank-4 phases, and the rank-4 gas contributes a universal conformal-fluid boundary stress tensor, yielding a conjectured microcanonical phase diagram for N=4 SYM.

  2. Holographic Timelike Entanglement and Subregion Complexity in Localized AdS3*S3*T4 Black Holes

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Timelike entanglement and subregion complexity detect the cap–horizon transition of localized AdS3×S3×T4 black poles via fixed-boundary-interval Lorentzian branch selection, effects absent in BTZ and large-r limits.

  3. Localized Black Holes in AdS$_3$: What Happens Below c/12 Stays Below c/12

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Localized black holes in AdS3 x S3 x T4 fill the low-energy spectrum, dominate the microcanonical ensemble below a small positive energy, and appear to have the same entanglement entropy as BTZ black holes.
