Configurations of multiple concentric black rings play an important role in determining the pattern of branchings, connections and mergers between different phases of higher-dimensional black holes. We examine them using both approximate…
We discuss some aspects of the recently discovered BPS black ring solutions in terms of the AdS/CFT correspondence. In the type IIB frame in which the black ring carries the charges of the D1-D5-P system, we propose a microscopic…
We investigate the fragmentation of ring-like brittle structures under explosive loading using a discrete element model. By systematically varying ring thickness and strain rate, we uncover a transition from one-dimensional (1D)…
Black hole spacetimes asymptotic to five-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime are of great interest in connection with the string-gauge duality. In the rotating case, such black holes tend to become unstable, in several different ways, if…
In this paper we present semiclassical computations of the splitting of folded spinning strings in AdS_3, which may be of interest in the context of AdS/CFT duality. We start with a classical closed string and assume that it can split on…
We derive the partition function of 5d ${\cal N}=1$ gauge theories on the manifold $S^3_b \times \Sigma_{\frak g}$ with a partial topological twist along the Riemann surface, $\Sigma_{\frak g}$. This setup is a higher dimensional uplift of…
The differential scattering cross section of the massless scalar field localized on the 3-brane of charged static black holes in the ADD model is analyzed. While results valid in the entire range of scattering angle can be obtained only via…
We study the semiclassical decay of macroscopic spinning strings in AdS_5 x S^5 through spontaneous splitting of the folded string worldsheet. Based on similar considerations in flat space this decay channel is expected to dominate the full…
We provide a unifying entropy functional and an extremization principle for black holes and black strings in AdS$_4\times S^7$ and AdS$_5\times S^5$ with arbitrary rotation and generic electric and magnetic charges. This is done by gluing…
We give a general theory of a rotated black string stream into a rotational horizon in dimension D=5. It is a configuration about one smooth intersection between these two objects when the spacetime is axisymmetric and in the limit that the…
We consider both gauged and ungauged minimal supergravities in five dimensions and analyse the charged rotating solutions with two equal angular momenta $J$. When the electric charge $Q\sim J^{2/3}$ with some specific coefficient, we find…
It has recently been shown that the M theory lift of a IIA 4D BPS Calabi-Yau black hole is a 5D BPS black hole spinning at the center of a Taub-NUT-flux geometries, and a certain linear relation between 4D and 5D BPS partition functions was…
The brittle fragmentation of spheres is studied numerically by a 3D Discrete Element Model. Large scale computer simulations are performed with models that consist of agglomerates of many spherical particles, interconnected by beam-truss…
The supersymmetric $(AdS_3\times S^3)/Z_N$ orbifold constructed by the authors in hep-th/0106171 is shown to describe AdS fragmentation, where fivebranes are emerging from the F1-NS5 background. The twisted sector moduli of the orbifold are…
This paper calculates the general form of a 5d metric when fundamental string and momentum charges are added. This is accomplished using the standard method of boosting and T-dualising a solution to Einstein's equations, where the solution…
