Figures

Figure 1 Boosting a black string charged under a 1-form. Finite boosts of sub-extremal black strings remain sub-extremal black holes after dimensional reduction. Infinite boosts yield the extremal KK charged black hole, whereas finite boosts of extremal black strings map out the remaining extremal black holes with both charges nonzero.

Figure 2 Boosting a black string charged under a 2-form. Here, the extremal black string is invariant under boosts, and instead extremal black holes in the dimensionally reduced theory come from maximally boosting while simultaneously taking r + → r -. Interestingly, the extremality condition takes the form of a linear relation M ≥ c F | Q F | + c H | Q H | rather than a quadratic one.

Figure 3 Stabilizing the scalars shrinks the black hole region, which becomes ellipsoidal. In the case without a D -dimensional dilaton ( α = 0) the stabilized extremal boundary intersects the unstabilized extremal boundary at four points, whereas with a dilaton ( α > 0), the stabilized extremal boundary lies strictly inside the unstabilized one.

Figure 4 The CHC for a theory with a KK U(1) plus another U(1). It is possible for the chargeto-mass vector of every KK mode to obey | ⃗ Z n | ≥ 1 without satisfying the CHC, as shown at left. Instead, the charge-to-mass vectors must be sufficiently large that the line segments connecting them lie outside the unit disk, as shown at right.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
