The higher-dimensional vacuum Einstein equation admits translationally non-uniform black string solutions. It has been argued that infinitesimally non-uniform black strings should be unstable in 13 or fewer dimensions and otherwise stable. We construct numerically non-uniform black string solutions in 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 dimensions. Their stability is investigated using local Penrose inequalities. Weakly non-uniform solutions behave as expected. However, in 12 and 13 dimensions, strongly non-uniform solutions appear to be stable and can have greater horizon area than a uniform string of the same mass. In 14 and 15 dimensions all non-uniform black strings appear to be stable.

  1. String Theory in a Pinch: Resolving the Gregory-Laflamme Singularity

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Near-Hagedorn string solutions show that in five and six spacetime dimensions, the Gregory-Laflamme pinch halts at a stable stringy neck that slowly evaporates, avoiding a naked singularity.
