Abstract

We numerically construct asymptotically global AdS5×S5\mathrm{AdS}_5\times \mathrm{S}^5 black holes that are localised on the S5\mathrm{S}^5. These are solutions to type IIB supergravity with S8\mathrm S^8 horizon topology that dominate the theory in the microcanonical ensemble at small energies. At higher energies, there is a first-order phase transition to AdS5\mathrm{AdS}_5-Schwarzschild×S5\times \mathrm{S}^5. By the AdS/CFT correspondence, this transition is dual to spontaneously breaking the SO(6)SO(6) R-symmetry of N=4\mathcal N=4 super Yang-Mills down to SO(5)SO(5). We extrapolate the location of this phase transition and compute the expectation value of the resulting scalar operators in the low energy phase.
