We exhibit a tachyonic mode in a linearized analysis of perturbations of large anti-de Sitter Reissner-Nordstrom black holes in four dimensions. In the large black hole limit, and up to a 0.7% discrepancy which is probably round-off error in the numerical analysis, the tachyon appears precisely when the black hole becomes thermodynamically unstable.

  1. 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.

  2. Little String Theories on Curved Manifolds

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Little string theory cannot be put on negatively curved spacetimes, only on flat or positively curved ones, and on spheres its Hagedorn spectrum receives a universal classical correction.

  3. IR Black Hole Instabilities Trigger Species-Scale Particle Production

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  4. Instability in ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory at finite density

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    At equal R-charge chemical potentials, the holographic AdS5-Reissner-Nordström black brane has a negative R-charge diffusion coefficient below a critical μ/T, making the low-temperature phase unstable.

  5. Instability in ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on $S^3$ at finite density

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    On S^3, curvature can stabilize R-symmetry charge transport of charged N=4 SYM plasma while thermodynamic instability persists, and volume fluctuations never restore thermodynamic stability.

  6. 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.

  7. The Instability of Low-Temperature Black Holes in Gauged $\mathcal{N}=8$ Supergravity

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Four-charge planar electric AdS black holes in STU supergravity have negative energy-Hessian determinant below a finite critical temperature; with a BPS-shifted energy, supersymmetric magnetic black holes become metastable.
