Abstract:
We exhibit a tachyonic mode in a linearized analysis of perturbations of large anti-de Sitter Reissner-Nordstrom black holes in four dimensions. In the large black hole limit, and up to a 0.7% discrepancy which is probably round-off error in the numerical analysis, the tachyon appears precisely when the black hole becomes thermodynamically unstable.- black hole: Reissner-Nordstroem
- space-time: anti-de Sitter
- tachyon
- perturbation theory: linear
- field theory: conformal
