There always exist a family of solutions in which the S^1 is not contractible and, for small S^1, there are two additional families of solutions in which the S^1 smoothly pinches off. This shows that (when fermions are antiperiodic around the S^1) there is a quantum phase transition in the gauge theory as one decreases the radius of the S^1 relative to the S^2. We also compare the masses of our solutions and argue that the one with lowest mass should minimize the energy among all solutions with conformal boundary S^2 x S^1 x R. This provides a new positive energy conjecture for asymptotically locally AdS metrics. A simple analytic continuation produces AdS black holes with topology S^2 x S^1.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-02-14T23:12:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "gauge theory", "gravity dual", "continuation produces ads black holes", "simple analytic continuation produces ads", "analytic continuation produces ads black" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "IOP", "journal": "Journal of High Energy Physics", "year": 2006, "month": "Jun", "volume": 2006, "number": 6, "pages": "021" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 709656, "adsabs": "2006JHEP...06..021C" } } }
