New Phase Diagram for Black Holes and Strings on Cylinders

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-10 v3 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We introduce a novel type of phase diagram for black holes and black strings on cylinders. The phase diagram involves a new asymptotic quantity called the relative binding energy. We plot the uniform string and the non-uniform string solutions in this new phase diagram using data of Wiseman. Intersection rules for branches of solutions in the phase diagram are deduced from a new Smarr formula that we derive.
