Black holes in the 1/D expansion
Speaker:Roberto Emparan (Barcelona U.)
Abstract:When the number of dimensions is very large, the gravitational field of a black hole is strongly localized near the horizon. Therefore in this limit the black hole can be effectively identified with a surface in an empty background geometry. The Einstein equations determine the effective equations that this 'black hole surface', or 'effective membrane', must satisfy. When the black hole is static, these are the same as the equations for soap films and can be solved for non-trivial black hole geometries in a simple way. For time-evolving black branes, the effective theory gives an enormous simplification over conventional methods, allowing to easily follow the evolution of the black brane instability to its endpoint.
