abstract
In spacetimes with compact dimensions there exist several black object solutions including the black-hole and the black-string. These solutions may become unstable depending on their relative size and the relevant length scale set by the compact dimensions. The transition between these solutions raises puzzles and addresses fundamental questions such as topology change, uniquenesses and cosmic censorship. Here, we consider black strings wrapped over the compact circle of a $d$-dimensional cylindrical spacetime. We construct static perturbative non-uniform string solutions around the instability point of a uniform string. First we compute the instability mass for a large range of dimensions, $d$, and find that it follows essentially an exponential law $\gamma^d$, where $\gamma$ is a constant. Then we determine that there is a critical dimension, $d_*=13$, such that for $d\leq d_*$ the phase transition between the uniform and the non-uniform strings is of first order, while for $d>d_*$, it is, surprisingly, of higher order.

Critical dimensions and small cycle dominance from all-orders asymptotics of $d$-matrix theory
The weighted partition numbers of d-matrix theory admit an all-orders asymptotic expansion that switches from divergent to convergent at d=13 (bosonic) or 7 (fermionic).

IR Black Hole Instabilities Trigger Species-Scale Particle Production
A mechanism is proposed in which black hole instability at the tower scale converts a fraction of the mass into particles at the species scale, with Hawking evaporation subdominant.

Bifurcations in Bosonic Stars: chains and rings from spherical solutions
Zero-modes of spherical bosonic stars under axisymmetric perturbations explain the bifurcations into chain, ring, and gyroscope-like bosonic star families.

Phases of String Stars in the Presence of a Spatial Circle
String star phase diagrams on a spatial circle are computed: new d=2 solutions, a quartic-induced d=5 swallowtail, and an anomalous d=6 stability pattern.

Black hole collisions, instabilities, and cosmic censorship violation at large D
In the large-D approximation, sufficiently spinning black hole mergers form rotating bars whose Gregory-Laflamme-like pinch-off outruns gravitational spin-down for D around 8 or larger, suggesting naked singularity formation.
