On the Aretakis instability of extremal black branes

Abstract We investigate how the Aretakis instability affects non-dilatonic extremal black p-branes by focusing on their near-horizon geometry. Crucially, the strength of the instability, i.e. the number of transverse derivatives needed to see non-decay/blow-up of fields on the horizon at late null t...
