We consider vacuum solutions of four dimensional general relativity with < 0. We numerically construct stationary solutions that asymptotically approach a boundary metric with differential rotation. Smooth solutions only exist up to a critical rotation. We thus argue that increasing the differential rotation by a finite amount will cause the curvature to grow without bound. This holds for both zero and nonzero temperature, and both compact and noncompact boundaries. However, the boundary metric always develops an ergoregion before reaching the critical rotation, which probably means that the energy is unbounded from below for these counterexamples to cosmic censorship.

Rotating Black Holes in Randall-Sundrum II Braneworlds

William D. Biggs, Jorge E. Santos

Summary: In this study, rotating black hole solutions in the Randall-Sundrum II (RSII) model are found by numerically solving a three-dimensional PDE problem. The area and equatorial innermost stable orbits of these solutions are computed. The results show that for large black holes compared with the AdS length scale, the black hole behaves as a four-dimensional object approaching the Kerr metric on the brane, while for small black holes, the solution tends to a five-dimensional Myers-Perry black hole with a single nonzero rotation parameter aligned with the brane. This departure from exact four-dimensional gravity in RSII model may lead to different predictions for rotating black holes compared to standard four-dimensional general relativity.

Extremal black holes that are not extremal: maximal warm holes

Oscar J. C. Dias, Gary T. Horowitz, Jorge E. Santos

Summary: This study focuses on a family of charged black holes that develop scalar hair as their charge increases at fixed mass. Surprisingly, the maximum charge for a given mass corresponds to a nonsingular hairy black hole with nonzero Hawking temperature. The implications for Hawking evaporation are discussed.

Inside an asymptotically flat hairy black hole

Oscar J. C. Dias, Gary T. Horowitz, Jorge E. Santos

Summary: We studied the interior of a family of asymptotically flat, charged black holes that develop scalar hair as charge increases. These black holes resemble the interior of a holographic superconductor and exhibit analogs of Josephson oscillations of the scalar field. The presence of Cauchy horizons in a large class of stationary black holes with scalar hair was argued against in an appendix.

Strong Cosmic Censorship and eigenvalue repulsions for rotating de Sitter black holes in higher-dimensions

Alex Davey, Oscar J. C. Dias, Paul Rodgers, Jorge E. Santos

Summary: This article discusses the violations and respects of Strong Cosmic Censorship (SCC) in different types of black holes in various spacetime dimensions. It also explores the characteristics of the scalar field quasinormal mode spectra related to SCC.

Eigenvalue repulsions and quasinormal mode spectra of Kerr-Newman: an extended study

Oscar J. C. Dias, Mahdi Godazgar, Jorge E. Santos

Summary: The frequency spectra of gravito-electromagnetic perturbations of the KN black hole have been computed and it has been found that there are two families of QNMs that display eigenvalue repulsion. The perturbation equations can be solved analytically using a near-horizon expansion, providing a good approximation to the numerical data near-extremality. This manuscript provides an extended study of these properties, including the derivation of a gauge invariant system of coupled PDEs, frequency approximations, and a deeper understanding of eigenvalue repulsion.

The canonical ensemble reloaded: the complex-stability of Euclidean quantum gravity for black holes in a box

Donald Marolf, Jorge E. Santos

Summary: This study examines the stability of black hole saddles inside a spherical reflecting cavity, finding that coupled modes can be diagonalized in the Lichnerowicz operator to define a natural generalization of the pure-trace Wick-rotation recipe. This recipe reproduces the expected result from black hole thermodynamics, where large Euclidean black holes are stable saddles while small Euclidean black holes are unstable.

Almost all extremal black holes in AdS are singular

Gary T. Horowitz, Maciej Kolanowski, Jorge E. Santos

Summary: We studied the geometry near the horizon of a four-dimensional extremal black hole. When the cosmological constant is negative, we found that tidal forces diverge as one crosses the horizon, and this singularity is stronger for larger black holes. This applies to generic nonspherical black holes, and all scalar curvature invariants remain finite. Furthermore, nonextremal black holes have tidal forces that diverge in the extremal limit, reflecting in anomalous scaling of the specific heat with temperature holographically. Similar, albeit weaker, effects are present when the cosmological constant is positive, but not when it vanishes.

Stability of the microcanonical ensemble in Euclidean Quantum Gravity

Donald Marolf, Jorge E. Santos

Summary: This study resolves the tension between the stability of the microcanonical ensemble for gravitating systems and the rapid decay of the negative mode of Schwarzschild black holes. By constructing the microcanonical partition function and applying Wick rotations, we obtained a positive definite action for linear perturbations. Most of the study was conducted in a cavity with reflecting boundary conditions.

Black tunnels and hammocks

William D. Biggs, Jorge E. Santos

Summary: We construct the holographic duals to a large N, strongly coupled N = 4 super Yang-Mills conformal field theory defined on a four-dimensional de Sitter-Schwarzschild background. There are two distinct five-dimensional bulk solutions: the static black tunnel with two disconnected horizons, and the black hammock with one horizon in the bulk. The hammock horizon is not a Killing horizon, possessing interesting properties like non-vanishing expansion and shear, and allowing classical flow along it.

A deformed IR: a new IR fixed point for four-dimensional holographic theories

Gary T. Horowitz, Maciej Kolanowski, Jorge E. Santos

Summary: In holography, the IR behavior of a quantum system at nonzero density is described by the near horizon geometry of an extremal charged black hole. It is commonly believed that for systems on S-3, this near horizon geometry is AdS(2) x S-3. However, we show that this is not the case and propose a new near horizon geometry that is stable under certain perturbations and develops in nonextremal, SO(3)-invariant charged black holes. Our findings suggest that the previously believed stable IR fixed point is not accurate.

New phases of N=4 SYM at finite chemical potential

Oscar J. C. Dias, Prahar Mitra, Jorge E. Santos

Summary: We systematically search for supergravity solutions that are dual to thermal states in N = 4 SYM at finite chemical potential via the AdS(5)/CFT4 correspondence. These solutions dominate the microcanonical ensemble and are required for reproducing the microscopic entropy of AdS black holes. Using analytical and numerical methods, we construct and study static charged hairy solitonic and black hole solutions with global AdS(5) asymptotics. Our findings provide a good understanding of the full phase space of SYM thermal states with three arbitrary chemical potentials, along with the known phases of the truncation with three equal charges.

Superradiance and black resonator strings encounter helical black strings

Oscar J. C. Dias, Takaaki Ishii, Keiju Murata, Jorge E. Santos, Benson Way

Summary: We construct a cohomogeneity-1 helical black string in six-dimensional Einstein gravity originating from the superradiant instability of the Myers-Perry black string. The helical black string possesses helical isometries generated by linear combinations of time translation, shifts along the string, and rotation, which are individually broken by the superradiant instability. Despite the absence of momentum in the string direction, the helical black string exhibits nonzero horizon velocity.

Constraints on Kerr-Newman black holes from merger-ringdown gravitational-wave observations

Gregorio Carullo, Danny Laghi, Nathan K. Johnson-McDaniel, Walter Del Pozzo, Mahdi Godazgar, Jorge E. Santos, Oscar J. C. Dias

Summary: We constructed a template to study the postmerger phase of a binary black hole coalescence with a remnant U(1) charge. Our analysis showed that it is difficult to distinguish between charged and uncharged hypotheses based on purely postmerger analysis. However, by analyzing the full signal, we were able to obtain upper limits on the black hole charge-to-mass ratio. This model can provide a robust measurement of the charge-to-mass ratio for certain values when simulating a loud signal observed by the LIGO-Virgo network.
