Brane-World Black Holes

TL;DR

This paper explores the nature of black holes in brane-world models, proposing that non-rotating, uncharged black holes are represented by a five-dimensional 'black cigar' solution within Randall-Sundrum scenarios.

Contribution

It introduces the 'black cigar' solution as a model for black holes on a brane in five-dimensional anti-de Sitter space, advancing understanding of brane-world black holes.

Findings

Black holes on the brane can be modeled by five-dimensional 'black cigar' solutions.

Evidence supports the existence of such solutions in Randall-Sundrum models.

The approach links brane-world black holes to higher-dimensional geometries.

Abstract

Gravitational collapse of matter trapped on a brane will produce a black hole on the brane. We discuss such black holes in the models of Randall and Sundrum where our universe is viewed as a domain wall in five dimensional anti-de Sitter space. We present evidence that a non-rotating uncharged black hole on the domain wall is described by a ``black cigar'' solution in five dimensions.
