Abstract

Rapidly rotating Myers-Perry-AdS5_5 (MPAdS5_5) black holes are shown to be unstable against rotational superradiance of a Maxwell field. From the onset of the instability, time-periodic neutral black hole solutions equipped with a nontrivial electromagnetic wave are obtained, which we call {\it photonic black resonators}. In the horizonless limit, they reduce to geon solutions which may be called {\it photon stars}. Specifically, we introduce a cohomogeneity-1 ansatz for the metric and Maxwell field and construct such solutions with an R×SU(2)R\times SU(2) isometry group. We compute thermodynamic quantities and obtain phase diagrams. It turns out that a photonic black resonator has a higher entropy than a MPAdS5_5 black hole, while it also has a smaller entropy than a black resonator without the Maxwell field. This suggests what is expected for nonlinear dynamics following the Maxwell superradiant instability with the SU(2)SU(2) isometry.
