Black hole uniqueness is known to fail in higher dimensions, and the multiplicity of black hole phases leads to phase transitions physics in General Relativity. The black-hole black-string transition is a prime realization of such a system and its phase diagram has been the subject of considerable study in the last few years. The most surprising results seem to be the appearance of critical dimensions where the qualitative behavior of the system changes, and a novel kind of topology change. Recently, a full phase diagram was determined numerically, confirming earlier predictions for a merger of the black-hole and black string phases and giving very strong evidence that the end-state of the Gregory-Laflamme instability is a black hole (in the dimension range 4<D<14). Here this progress is reviewed, illustrated with figures, put into a wider context, and the still open questions are listed.

  1. Critical dimensions and small cycle dominance from all-orders asymptotics of $d$-matrix theory

    hep-th 2026-03 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The weighted partition numbers of d-matrix theory admit an all-orders asymptotic expansion that switches from divergent to convergent at d=13 (bosonic) or 7 (fermionic).

  2. The Fate of Instability of de Sitter Black Holes at Large $D$

    hep-th 2019-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    At large D, RN-dS and GB-dS black holes evolve to stationary lumpy solutions on the instability threshold, and in the unstable region their mass localizes into spot-like or ring-like configurations.

  3. New analytic solutions of non-SUSY black branes in $10$-D heterotic supergravity and the phase transition

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    New exact non-SUSY black brane solutions in 10D heterotic supergravity with two gauge charges show a spontaneous symmetry breaking and dynamical instability at low temperature that predicts additional black hole solutions.
