Title:
Near-extremal black holes at late times, backreacted

Speaker:
Shahar Hadar

Abstract:
Linear perturbations of extremal black holes exhibit the Aretakis instability, in which higher derivatives of the fields grow polynomially with time along the event horizon. Near-extremal black holes display similar behavior for some time, and eventually decay exponentially through quasinormal modes. In the talk I will discuss the physical consequences of this effect. I will show that the above behaviors are dictated by the conformal symmetry of the near-horizon region of such black holes. I will then discuss the significance of backreaction in the problem, and show how it can be simply accounted for within the near-horizon picture.
