6 Solitons localized, finite energy, stable, regular solutions of non-linear equations (particle-like) Topological solitons carry topological charge (non-trivial vacuum manifold) In theories with spontaneous symmetry breaking Examples: (Cosmic) Strings, Monopoles, Domain walls... Non-topological solitons carry globally conserved Noether charge In theories with continuous symmetry Examples: Q-balls, boson stars...

11 Instability of black holes in d-dimensional AdS d (radius L) with respect to condensation of scalar field related to Breitenlohner-Freedman bound on mass m of scalar field (Breitenlohner & Freedman, 1982) m 2 mbf,d 2 (d 1)2 = 4L 2 AdS d stable

12 Two type of instabilities uncharged scalar field near-horizon geometry of extremal black holes given by AdS 2 M d 2 (Robinson, 1959; Bertotti, 1959; Bardeen & Horowitz, 1999) if m 2 BF,2 > m2 > m 2 BF,d asymptotic AdS d stable, but (near-)extremal black hole forms scalar hair close to horizon (Gubser, 2008) scalar field charged under U(1), charge e m 2 eff = m 2 e 2 g tt A 2 t if m 2 m 2 BF,d : asymptotic AdS d stable e 2 g tt large close to horizon of black hole m 2 eff < m 2 BF,d close to horizon black hole forms scalar hair

13 Example (Y. Brihaye & B.Hartmann, Phys.Rev. D81 (2010) ) d=4+1 BF bound m 2 eff AdS unstable AdS stable Pioneering example: RNAdS black hole close to T = 0 unstable to form scalar hair close to horizon (Gubser, 2008)

14 Anti-de Sitter/Conformal fiel theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence applied: use AdS black hole and soliton solutions of classical gravity theory to describe phenomena appearing in strongly coupled Quantum Field Theories values of bulk field on AdS boundary sources for dual theory Applications gravity condensed matter: holographic superconductors/superfluids gravity Quantumchromodynamics (QCD) e.g. holographic description of quark-gluon plasma

15 Higher order curvature corrections Coleman-Mermin-Wagner theorem: no spontaneous symmetry breaking of continuous symmetry in (2+1) dim at finite temperature BUT: holographic superconductors have been constructed using (3+1)-dim black hole solutions of classical gravity (Hartnoll, Herzog & Horowitz (2008) and many more...) higher order curvature corrections on gravity side???

33 Planar Reissner-Nordström-Anti-de Sitter (RNAdS) For α = 0, ψ 0 ds 2 = f (r)a 2 (r)dt f (r) dr 2 + r 2 L 2 ( dx 2 + dy 2 + dz 2) with f (r) = r 2 L 2 2M r 2 + γq2 r 4, a(r) 1 planar (outer) horizon at r = r h, asymptotically AdS 4+1 U(1) gauge field in AdS A M dx M = A t (r)dt = Q r 2 h ( 1 r h 2 ) ( r 2 = µ 1 r h 2 ) r 2

34 Planar Reissner-Nordström-Anti-de Sitter (RNAdS) temperature T = 3r h /(πl 2 ) γµ 2 /(2πr h ) can be varied continuously (in particular T = 0 possible) r : scale-invariant dual theory at finite T global U(1) with µ chemical potential In principle: fluid/superfluid interpretation since U(1) not dynamical Mostly: conductor/superconductor interpretation (photons neglected in many condensed matter processes) only (dimensionless) scale: T /µ RNAdS is gravity dual of a conductor/fluid

35 Planar Anti-de Sitter soliton double Wick rotation (t iη, z it) of SAdS metric ds 2 = r 2 ( r L 2 dt L 2 r ) 4 1 ( h r r 2 L 2 dr L 2 r ) 4 h r 2 L 2 dη 2 + r 2 L 2 ( dx 2 + dy 2) to avoid conical singularity η periodic with period τ η = πl2 r 0 where r 0 > 0 space-time unchanged for A M dx M = µdt can be considered at any temperature T

39 Outline

40 Spherically symmetric AdS solitons For k = 1 solitons regular on r [0 : [ exist (Basu, Mukherjee & Shieh, 2009; Dias, Figueras, Minwalla, Mitra, Monteiro & Santos, 2011 ) Boundary conditions at r = 0 f (0) = 1, φ (0) = 0, ψ (0) = 0, a (0) = 0

41 Charged solitons with scalar hair exist only in limited domain of Q-e 2 -plane at e = e c (Q, α): numerical results suggest a(0) 0 for α 0 range of allowed Q and e values enlarged solitons no solitons

42 Charged black hole with scalar hair, k = 1 (Brihaye & B. Hartmann, PRD 85 (2012) ) small large For small α: solution exists down to r h = 0 soliton? For large α: solution has a(r h ) 0 for r h r (cr) h > 0 extremal black hole?

43 Charged black hole with scalar hair, k = 1 (Brihaye & B. Hartmann, PRD 85 (2012) ) For α = 0: Black hole tend to soliton solutions in the limit r h 0

44 Charged black hole with scalar hair, k = 1 (Brihaye & B. Hartmann, PRD 85 (2012) ) α 0: Gauss-Bonnet solitons with scalar hair exist black holes with scalar hair do not tend to corresponding solitons for r h 0

45 Charged black hole with scalar hair, k = 1 (Brihaye & B. Hartmann, PRD 85 (2012) There exist no extremal Gauss-Bonnet black holes with scalar hair.

46 Charged black hole with scalar hair, k = 1 Proof: assume near-horizon geometry to be AdS 2 S 3 : ( ds 2 = v 1 ρ 2 dτ ) ρ 2 dρ2 +v 2 (dψ 2 + sin 2 ψ (dθ 2 + sin 2 θdϕ 2)) v 1, v 2 : positive constants Combination of equations of motion yields ( ρ 2 0 = 16πG ψ 2 + e2 φ 2 ψ 2 ) v 1 ρ 2 v 1 This leads to: ψ = 0 and φ 2 ψ 2 = 0 in near horizon geometry φ 2 = 0 ruled out ψ 0 in near horizon geometry q.e.d.

47 The planar limit (α = 0: Gentle, Pangamani & Withers, (2011)) (α 0: Brihaye & B. Hartmann, PRD 85 (2012) ) apply rescaling r λr, t λ 1 t, M λ 4 M, Q λ 3 Q to Boulware-Deser-Cai solution with ( ( f (r) = r 2 1 r )) 1 1 4α 2α L 2 + 4αM r 4 4αγQ2 r 6 For λ : λ 2 dω 2 3 dx 2 + dy 2 + dz 2 For Q the k = 1 solution becomes k = 0 solution, i.e. becomes comparable in size to AdS radius L electromagnetic repulsion balanced by gravitational attraction present in AdS

49 Conclusions Two mechanisms can make AdS black holes unstable to scalar condensation uncharged scalar field: black holes with AdS 2 factor in near-horizon geometry (near-extremal black holes) Example in this talk: uncharged, static black holes with hyperbolic horizon (k = 1) charged scalar field: coupling to gauge field lowers effective mass of scalar field Examples in this talk: charged, static black holes with flat or spherical horizon (k = 0, k = 1) Black holes with scalar hair thermodynamically preferred
