Instability of 5D Gauss-Bonnet black branes
Abstract
We show that Gauss-Bonnet black branes in five-dimensional anti-de Sitter gravity are unstable when the Gauss-Bonnet coupling falls outside the range allowed by the conformal collider bounds. The unstable modes and the boundary causality violating modes are connected by a phase rotation of complex boundary momentum.
