Abstract |
Higher dimensional Ricci-flat black branes suffer from the Greogry-Laflamme instability. In this talk I will present a very simple and efficient long-wavelength approximation to this instability. This hydrodynamic approximation exhibits a conformal symmetry much like in AdS/CFT, where gravitational modes in AdS encode CFT quantities. This fact links to recent developments suggesting that conformal symmetry plays a role in all kinds of black holes, including Ricci-flat ones. |
