To test recent ideas about lower dimensional gravity bound to a brane, we construct exact solutions describing black holes on two-branes in four dimensions. We find that 2+1 gravity is indeed recovered at large distances along the brane, although there are significant deviations at smaller scales. Large black holes appear as flattened "pancakes", with a relatively small extent off the brane. Black hole thermodynamics is discussed from both the standpoint of the brane and the bulk. We comment on the analogous black holes bound to higher dimensional branes.

  1. Unveiling horizons in quantum critical collapse

    gr-qc 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Semiclassical quantum corrections in critical collapse yield a finite mass gap and transition from classical Type II to quantum Type I behavior, providing a quantum enforcement of weak cosmic censorship.

  2. Quantum Black Hole Chemistry from Double Holography

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    In double holography, quantum backreaction from cutoff matter on a physical brane supplies a distinct color variable, resolving color-volume degeneracy for the quantum BTZ black hole.

  3. Quantum Solitons

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Quantum soliton solutions in AdS3 are constructed via branes in 4D AdS C-metric, with negative-mass cases describing thermal CFT backreaction on global AdS3 and positive-mass cases replacing horizons with smooth origins.

  4. Unveiling horizons in quantum critical collapse

    gr-qc 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Semiclassical one-loop analysis of solvable near-critical collapse solutions shows quantum corrections selecting a Boulware-like state and producing a growing mode that yields a finite mass gap and a transition to Typ...

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Holographic complexity of CFTs in global dS_d is computed via volume and action prescriptions in AdS foliation and brane setups, then compared to results from static and Poincare patches.
