Perturbations of anti-de Sitter black holes

Abstract

I review perturbations of black holes in asymptotically anti-de Sitter space. I show how the quasi-normal modes governing these perturbations can be calculated analytically and discuss the implications on the hydrodynamics of gauge theory fluids per the AdS/CFT correspondence. I also discuss phase transitions of hairy black holes with hyperbolic horizons and the dual superconductors emphasizing the analytical calculation of their properties.
