Contribution
It introduces a large class of stable black strings without translational invariance, expanding understanding of black string solutions.
Findings
Existence of stable, non-translationally invariant black strings
Properties of these new solutions
Open questions about explicit solutions and stability
Abstract
We review recent work showing that there exists a large class of new stable black strings which are not translationally invariant. Both neutral and charged black strings are considered. The discussion includes known properties of these new solutions, attempts to find them explicitly, and a list of open questions.
