Necessary conditions are proposed for the admissibility of singular classical solutions with 3+1-dimensional Poincare invariance to five-dimensional gravity coupled to scalars. Finite temperature considerations and examples from AdS/CFT support the conjecture that the scalar potential must remain bounded above for a solution to be physical. Having imposed some restrictions on naked singularities allows us to comment on a recent proposal for solving the cosmological constant problem.

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    For a large class of holographic confining gauge theories far from conformality, the maximum supercooling equals half the squared speed of sound at the critical temperature, up to 1/D corrections.

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Unitarity in unimodular time self-adjointness resolves the Schwarzschild-(A)dS singularity and yields a quantum-corrected metric interpolating between black and white hole states.

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In holographic models with a good-singularity ground state, a boost-invariant expanding fluid drives the dual horizon curvature to diverge in classical gravity.

    hep-th 2019-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Wrapped D4-branes in Romans F(4) gauged supergravity are mapped to supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric AdS vacua, with new non-BPS AdS2 solutions whose stability is checked against the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound.

    Holographic analysis of scattering off Chamblin-Reall branes shows that for d>1 incident radiation redistributes into reflected, transmitted, and evanescent components, with d=2 yielding diffuse scattering like a tran...

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In a holographic QCD model, chaotic string dynamics appear only for unstable configurations near the horizon, and magnetic field and chemical potential affect chaos oppositely in string and Einstein frames.
