On the Stability of Black Strings/Branes
Abstract
Description
Some issues on the stability of black string or brane solutions are summarized briefly. The stability of dS/AdS-Schwarzschild black strings has been investigated. Interestingly, the AdS-Schwarzschild black strings turn out to be stable as the horizon size becomes larger than the AdS scale. It is also shown that BTZ black strings in four dimensions are stable regardless of the horizon size. Such stable feature seems to be common for several known black strings in dimensions lower than five. Some implications of our results on the role of non-uniformity in stable black string configurations are also discussed.
