Universality classes for horizon instabilities
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a notion of universality classes for the Gregory-Laflamme instability and determine, in the supergravity approximation, the stability of a variety of solutions, including the non-extremal D3-brane, M2-brane, and M5-brane. These three non-dilatonic branes cross over from instability to stability at a certain non-extremal mass. Numerical analysis suggests that the wavelength of the shortest unstable mode diverges as one approaches the cross-over point from above, with a simple critical exponent which is the same in all three cases.

Dynamics of Symmetry Breaking in Frw Cosmologies: Emergence of Scaling
The dynamics of a symmetry breaking phase transition is studied in a radiation and matter dominated spatially flat FRW cosmology in the large N limit of a scalar field theory. The quantum density matrix is evolved from an initial state of quasiparticles in thermal equilibrium at a temperature higher than the critical. The cosmological expansion decreases the temperature and triggers the phase t...

متن کاملHawking Radiation, Gravitational Anomaly and Conformal Symmetry - the Origin of Universality
Hawking radiation is the most prominent quantum effect to arise for quantum fields in a background space-time with an event horizon, and if we neglect the grey body factor induced by the effect of the scattering outside the horizon, the flux of the radiation is universally determined by the properties of black holes at the horizon. We will explain that this universality can be understood in ter...
متن کاملFinite-temperature mechanical instability in disordered lattices.
Mechanical instability takes different forms in various ordered and disordered systems and little is known about how thermal fluctuations affect different classes of mechanical instabilities. We develop an analytic theory involving renormalization of rigidity and coherent potential approximation that can be used to understand finite-temperature mechanical stabilities in various disordered syste...
