Can Black Holes Decay to Naked Singularities?
Saurya Das, J. Gegenberg, and V. Husain
TL;DR
This paper explores the potential for black holes in anti-de Sitter space to decay into naked singularities through thermodynamic phase transitions, challenging traditional views on black hole stability.
Contribution
It introduces the idea that thermodynamic phase transitions can cause black holes to radiate into naked singularities in anti-de Sitter spacetime.
Findings
Black holes can undergo phase transitions to naked singularities.
Thermodynamic properties of scalar field spacetimes are analyzed.
Potential decay pathways from black holes to naked singularities are proposed.
Abstract
We investigate thermodynamic properties of two types of asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes: black holes and singular scalar field spacetimes. We describe the possibility that thermodynamic phase transitions can transform one spacetime into another, suggesting that black holes can radiate to naked singularities.
