Nonlinear dynamics of near-extremal black holes

ORAL

Abstract

Near-extremal black holes possess a family of long lived quasinormal modes associated to the near-horizon throat geometry. For long lived modes, nonlinear interactions between the modes can potentially dominate over dissipation. We develop a framework for treating these interactions, and we study their dynamics.
