We discuss dynamics of massive Klein-Gordon fields in two-dimensional Anti-de Sitter spacetimes ($AdS_2$), in particular conserved quantities and non-modal instability on the future Poincare horizon called, respectively, the Aretakis constants and the Aretakis instability. We find out the geometrical meaning of the Aretakis constants and instability in a parallel-transported frame along a null geodesic, i.e., some components of the higher-order covariant derivatives of the field in the parallel-transported frame are constant or unbounded at the late time, respectively. Because $AdS_2$ is maximally symmetric, any null hypersurfaces have the same geometrical properties. Thus, if we prepare parallel-transported frames along any null hypersurfaces, we can show that the same instability emerges not only on the future Poincare horizon but also on any null hypersurfaces. This implies that the Aretakis instability in $AdS_2$ is the result of singular behaviors of the higher-order covariant derivatives of the fields on the whole $AdS$ infinity, rather than a blow-up on a specific null hypersurface. It is also discussed that the Aretakis constants and instability are related to the conformal Killing tensors. We further explicitly demonstrate that the Aretakis constants can be derived from ladder operators constructed from the spacetime conformal symmetry.
We study the dynamics of a spherically symmetric thin shell of perfect fluid embedded in d-dimensional Anti-de Sitter space-time. In global coordinates, besides collapsing solutions, oscillating solutions are found where the shell bounces back and forth between two radii. The parameter space where these oscillating solutions exist is scanned in arbitrary number of dimensions. As expected AdS3 appears to be singled out.
We provide a prescription to compute the gravitational multipole moments of compact objects for asymptotically de Sitter spacetimes. Our prescription builds upon a recent definition of the gravitational multipole moments in terms of Noether charges associated to specific vector fields, within the residual harmonic gauge, dubbed multipole symmetries. We first derive the multipole symmetries for spacetimes which are asymptotically de Sitter; we also show that these symmetry vector fields eliminate the non-propagating degrees of freedom from the linearized gravitational wave equation in a suitable gauge. We then apply our prescription to the Kerr-de Sitter black hole and compute its multipole structure. Our result recovers the Geroch-Hansen moments of the Kerr black hole in the limit of vanishing cosmological constant.
Suppose a one-dimensional isometry group acts on a space, we can consider a submergion induced by the isometry, namely we obtain an orbit space by identification of points on the orbit of the group action. We study the causal structure of the orbit space for Anti-de Sitter space (AdS) explicitely. In the case of AdS$_3$, we found a variety of black hole structure, and in the case of AdS$_5$, we found a static four-dimensional black hole, and a spacetime which has two-dimensional black hole as a submanifold.
We study the fully nonlinear dynamics of black hole spontaneous scalarizations in Einstein-Maxwell scalar theory with coupling function $f(phi)=e^{-bphi^{2}}$, which can transform usual Reissner-Nordstrom Anti-de Sitter (RN-AdS) black holes into hairy black holes. Fixing the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner mass of the system, the initial scalar perturbation will destroy the original RN-AdS black hole and turn it into a hairy black hole provided that the constant $-b$ in the coupling function and the charge of the original black hole are sufficiently large, while the cosmological constant is small enough. In the scalarization process, we observe that the black hole irreducible mass initially increases exponentially, then it approaches to and finally saturates at a finite value. Choosing stronger coupling and larger black hole charge, we find that the black hole mass exponentially grows earlier and it takes a longer time for a hairy black hole to be developed and stabilized. We further examine phase structure properties in the scalarization process and confirm the observations in the non-linear dynamical study.
Understanding black hole microstructure via the thermodynamic geometry can provide us with more deeper insight into black hole thermodynamics in modified gravities. In this paper, we study the black hole phase transition and Ruppeiner geometry for the $d$-dimensional charged Gauss-Bonnet anti-de Sitter black holes. The results show that the small-large black hole phase transition is universal in this gravity. By reducing the thermodynamic quantities with the black hole charge, we clearly exhibit the phase diagrams in different parameter spaces. Of particular interest is that the radius of the black hole horizon can act as the order parameter to characterize the black hole phase transition. We also disclose that different from the five-dimensional neutral black holes, the charged ones allow the repulsive interaction among its microstructure for small black hole of higher temperature. Another significant difference between them is that the microscopic interaction changes during the small-large black hole phase transition for the charged case, where the black hole microstructure undergoes a sudden change. These results are helpful for peeking into the microstructure of charged black holes in the Gauss-Bonnet gravity.
