Adiabatic Deformations of Black Hole Moduli: II. The Magnetic GHS Family

Abstract

We study the leading adiabatic response of magnetic GHS black holes in massless Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory to a prescribed exterior modulus varying slowly in advanced time. In ingoing Eddington-Finkelstein coordinates with the exact areal radius, we derive the time-dependent spherical equations and expand about a slowly evolving instantaneous static GHS representative, keeping its horizon distinct from the exact dynamical marginal horizon. The magnetic GHS family realizes the canonical-slice and Fredholm framework developed in the companion paper. Its integrability yields in closed form the canonical tangent, the finite-rank source profile, a horizon-regular solution of the auxiliary inhomogeneous equation, and a globally regular generator of the sliced-operator kernel. For the leading Robin functional arising in the massless large-radius overlap, we evaluate the Fredholm denominator analytically and prove that it is strictly positive on the charged non-extremal branch. This remains true where the conventional normalization of the kernel generator degenerates, showing that these loci are normalization singularities rather than degeneracies of the kernel mode. Within the controlled large-radius overlap regime, this positivity proves existence and uniqueness of the completed leading-order quasi-static near-zone problem. We then solve the forced radial equation explicitly. The scalar lag is the sum of a universal forced profile and a sliced homogeneous mode whose amplitude is fixed by the exterior matching datum. The mass lag follows algebraically from the radial constraint, and the lapse lag from a single elementary quadrature. The exact marginal horizon is recovered from the lag-corrected solution. The result gives the complete leading quasi-static near-zone response, exact in its radial dependence, for every admissible exterior datum within the specified massless overlap model.

Holographic Schwinger effect with Translational Symmetry Breaking

We investigate the holographic Schwinger effect in a background with translational symmetry breaking (TSB) at finite chemical potential. The gravitational background is characterized by two independent parameters: the TSB parameter \(α\), which controls momentum relaxation, and the chemical potential \(μ\), which determines the finite density of the dual field theory. Using the potential analysis method, we derive the total potential governing the pair production process and examine its dependence on \(α\), \(μ\), the external magnetic field, and the ratio \(β=E/E_c\). Our results show that the effects of \(α\) and \(μ\) on the Schwinger process strongly depend on the dynamical regime. In the subcritical regime, increasing either \(α\) or \(μ\) lowers the potential barrier and facilitates pair production. However, near and above the critical electric field, the roles of these two parameters become qualitatively different. While increasing the chemical potential lowers the total potential and enhances the Schwinger pair production process, increasing the translational symmetry breaking parameter shifts the potential upward and suppresses the production process. We further show that, at fixed $β=E/E_c$, a perpendicular external magnetic field lowers the effective potential barrier and thereby facilitates the Schwinger process, while the physical electric field changes accordingly through the magnetic-field dependence of $E_c$. The corresponding pair production rate is not independently calculated; instead, its qualitative behavior is characterized through a proxy derived from the total potential. Overall, our analysis provides a comprehensive picture of how translational symmetry breaking, finite density, and external magnetic fields influence holographic non-perturbative pair production.

One-loop Corrected Holographic Shear Viscosity to Entropy Density Ratio at Low Temperatures

Near-extremal black holes contain infrared-enhanced quantum fluctuations in their near-horizon near-AdS$_2$ throat, governed in part by Schwarzian modes. We study the effect of these fluctuations on the zero-frequency stress-tensor response of a near-extremal asymptotically AdS$_4$ Reissner--Nordström black brane whose transverse directions are regulated by a finite toroidal quotient. Working directly in four dimensions, we compute the leading correction in the weakly coupled Schwarzian regime $T_q\ll T\ll r_0/L^2$. At one loop, the shear perturbation couples to the $n=2$ would-be zero mode and produces a correction proportional to $T_q/T$. Together with the logarithmic correction to the entropy, this yields a finite-volume correction to $η/s$. Our calculation provides a direct four-dimensional benchmark, complementary to exact two-dimensional treatments, while keeping the asymptotic AdS$_4$ source explicit.

Families of Hitchin Systems in Type-D

The Coulomb branch geometry of a 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ SCFT is encoded in the data of a complex integrable system. In class-S, this is the Hitchin System (of ADE type) on the punctured curves $C$ on which we compactified from 6d to 4d. As we vary the complex structure of $C$, these fit together to form a (nontrivial!) bundle of Hitchin systems over the moduli space of complex structures of $C$ (the ``conformal manifold'' of the family of SCFTs). We carry out that construction for type-D. Compared to the type-A case, the construction is much more complicated because of local constraints at the punctures. Those local constraints were studied in [1]. Here, we work out their implications for the global bundle of spectral (Seiberg-Witten) curves.
