Exotic Hairy Black Holes

Buchel, Alex, Pagnutti, Chris

Understand

We study black hole solutions in asymptotically AdS_4 spacetime with scalar hair.

Following AdS/CFT dictionary these black holes can be interpreted as thermal states of 2+1 dimensional conformal gauge theory plasma, deformed by a relevant operator.
We discover a rich phase structure of the solutions.
Surprisingly, we find thermodynamically stable phases with spontaneously broken global symmetries that exist only at high temperatures.
