On conserved charges and thermodynamics of the AdS4 dyonic black hole

A bstractWe consider four-dimensional gravity in the presence of a dilatonic scalar field and an Abelian gauge field. This theory corresponds to the bosonic sector of a Kaluza-Klein reduction of…

Scaling arguments and scalar hairs in asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetime

Scaling arguments for minimally coupled scalar field models are generalized to discuss the existence and stability of static, spherically symmetric regular and black hole solutions in asymptotically…

More on Asymptotically Anti-de Sitter Spaces in Topologically Massive Gravity

Recently, the asymptotic behavior of three-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) gravity with a topological mass term was investigated. Boundary conditions were given that were asymptotically invariant…

Conformal Anomaly and Counterterms in Designer Gravity

We construct concrete counterterms of the Balasubramanian-Kraus type for Einstein-scalar theories with designer gravity boundary conditions in AdS$_{4}$, so that the total action is finite on-shell…

Scalar solitons and the microscopic entropy of hairy black holes in three dimensions

General Relativity coupled to a self-interacting scalar field in three dimensions is shown to admit exact analytic soliton solutions, such that the metric and the scalar field are regular everywhere.…

We investigate the non-perturbative stability of asymptotically anti-de Sitter gravity coupled to tachyonic scalar fields with mass near the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound. Such scalars are…

A note on conserved charges of asymptotically flat and anti-de Sitter spaces in arbitrary dimensions

The calculation of conserved charges of black holes is a rich problem, for which many methods are known. Until recently, there was some controversy on the proper definition of conserved charges in…

Asymptotically anti–de Sitter spacetimes and scalar fields with a logarithmic branch

We consider a self-interacting scalar field whose mass saturates the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound, minimally coupled to Einstein gravity with a negative cosmological constant in $Dg~3$ dimensions. It…

Asymptotically anti-de Sitter spaces

Asymptotically anti-de Sitter spaces are defined by boundary conditions on the gravitational field which obey the following criteria: (i) they are O(3, 2) invariant; (ii) they make the O(3, 2)…

Black holes and asymptotics of 2 + 1 gravity coupled to a scalar field

We consider $2+1$ gravity minimally coupled to a self-interacting scalar field. The case in which the fall-off of the fields at infinity is slower than that of a localized distribution of matter is…

Three-dimensional gravity with a minimally coupled self-interacting scalar is considered. The fall-off of the fields at infinity is assumed to be slower than that of a localized distribution of…

Designer gravity and field theory effective potentials.

It is shown that there is remarkable agreement between static supergravity solutions and extrema of a field theory potential for essentially any function V(alpha) there are boundary conditions in anti-de Sitter space so that gravitational solitons exist precisely at the extrems of V and have masses given by the value of V at these extremas.

The Einstein-conformally coupled scalar field system is studied in the presence of a cosmological constant. We consider a massless or massive scalar field with no additional self-interaction, and…
