Banks, Douglas, Horowitz and Martinec [hep-th/9808016] recently argued that in the microcanonical ensemble for string theory on AdS_m xS^n, there is a phase transition between a black hole solution extended over the S^n and a solution localized on the S^n. If we think of this AdS_m x S^n geometry as arising from the near-horizon limit of a black m-2 brane, the existence of this phase transition is puzzling. We present a resolution of this puzzle, and discuss its significance from the point of view of the dual m-1 dimensional field theory. We also discuss multi-black hole solutions in AdS.

  1. Holographic Timelike Entanglement and Subregion Complexity in Localized AdS3*S3*T4 Black Holes

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Timelike entanglement and subregion complexity detect the cap–horizon transition of localized AdS3×S3×T4 black poles via fixed-boundary-interval Lorentzian branch selection, effects absent in BTZ and large-r limits.

  2. Localized Black Holes in AdS$_3$: What Happens Below c/12 Stays Below c/12

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Localized black holes in AdS3 x S3 x T4 fill the low-energy spectrum, dominate the microcanonical ensemble below a small positive energy, and appear to have the same entanglement entropy as BTZ black holes.

  3. 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.
