Solitonic Phase Transitions of Galilean Black Holes

TL;DR

This paper explores phase transitions in Galilean black holes, revealing a transition to solitonic solutions at low temperatures, which could impact the understanding of non-relativistic holographic duals.

Contribution

It demonstrates a novel phase transition from Galilean black holes to solitons, expanding the understanding of non-relativistic holographic phases.

Findings

Black holes undergo a phase transition to solitons at low temperature.

The soliton's scale induces the chemical potential.

The asymptotic structure remains consistent across phases.

Abstract

Planar black holes with Galilean asymptotics have been proposed as the holographic dual of a non-relativistic conformal field theory at finite temperature. I show that these objects can undergo a phase transition at low temperature to a new type of soliton with the same asymptotic structure. The strength of the chemical potential is induced by the scale of the soliton.
