Chaotic particle dynamics near a traversable wormhole throat

This study investigates the nonlinear dynamics of a test particle near the traversable wormhole throat under an external harmonic potential. One-dimensional radial perturbation analysis shows that the particle is locally linearly stable at the equilibrium position. However, for two-dimensional and high-energy cases, the system exhibits a nonlinear response, leading to large-scale chaos. The analysis indicates that, if the particle is confined on one side of the wormhole, the Poincare section will still retain Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser (KAM) tori under extremely high-energy conditions, which is distinct from the chaos caused by the event horizon in the black hole. By studying another set of shape functions, the universality of this phase space structure is confirmed. This research clarifies the unique nonlinear dynamical mechanism of a traversable wormhole. It provides a new criterion, based on chaotic dynamics, for identifying black hole mimickers in strong-field astrophysical observations.

Interior structure of black holes with nonlinear terms

We investigate the oscillation of the Kasner exponent $p_t$ near critical point of the hairy black holes dual to holographic superfluid and reveal a clear inverse periodicity $f(T_c/(T_c-T))$ in a large region below the critical temperature. We first introduce the fourth-power term with a coefficient $λ$ to adjust the oscillatory behavior of the Kasner exponent $p_t$ near the critical point. Importantly, we show that the nonlinear coefficient $λ$ provides accurate control of this periodicity: a positive $λ$ stretches the region, while a negative $λ$ compresses it. By contrast, the influence of another coefficient $τ$ is more concentrated in regions away from the critical point. This work provides a new perspective for understanding the complex dynamical structure inside black holes and extends the actively control from the fourth- and sixth-power term into the black hole interior region.

Interior structure of the holographic s + p superconductor and chaotic-stable transition near the black hole singularity

In this work, we investigate the interior structure of a holographic multi-band superconductor with the coexistence of s-wave and p-wave order parameters. Especially, we investigate the singularity structure of this multi-band model. Different from the single p-wave case, the alternation rule is jointly determined by parameters involving both s-wave order and p-wave order. In the coexistence region, we derive the Kasner alternation laws from both analytical and numerical methods which fit each other nicely. Furthermore, we find that the occurrence of the s-wave order parameter will lead to a chaotic-stable transition for the near singularity structure which matches the expectation of cosmological billiard approach. This novel transition for the near singularity structure constitutes a holographic counterpart of the secondary condensation in boundary superconducting system, offering a complementary perspective for characterizing the properties of boundary condensed matter systems.

Diving into a holographic multi-band superconductor

In this work, we investigate the interior structure of a holographic multi-band superconductor model. We focus on the holographic superconductor system with two scalar fields which correspond to two s-wave order parameters in the dual condensed matter system. We discover a new kind of transition rule among Kasner universe near the black hole singularity which is distinct from the holographic single-band superconductor model. This transition rule is the first generalization of Kasner transition behavior to scenarios involving multiple free parameters, which is useful for uncovering the most general interior structures of hairy black holes. Moreover, we find that the Kasner exponents are sensitive to the details of order parameters in boundary system. These different near singularity structures we found show that the black hole interior plays crucial role in characterizing the boundary dual condensed matter systems.

The holographic s+p model in 4D and 5D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity

We study the holographic s+p model in both four dimensional (4D) and five dimensional (5D) Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) gravity. We first show a phase diagram with the Gauss-Bonnet parameter fixed to a small value $α=10^{-7}$ to choose propitiate values of $q_p/q_s$. Then we fix the value of $q_p/q_s$ and plot $α-μ$ phase diagrams to show the influence of Gauss-Bonnet term on the phase transitions in both 4D and 5D bulk, respectively. The phase diagrams in 4D and 5D present the same qualitative features, indicating similarity of 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity with the 5D case in holography. We also study the influences of Gauss-Bonnet parameter on the special values of the fourth order nonlinear term parameters $λ_s$ and $λ_p$, below which the condensate grows to a different direction near the critical point, that is important in realizing 1st order superfluid phase transitions. Especially, we notice that these special values are different in the canonical and grand canonical ensembles, which is closely related to the study of the spinodal region, where the phase separations occurs with the linear instability at finite wave vector.

Dynamical stability from quasi normal modes in 2nd, 1st and 0th order holographic superfluid phase transitions

We study a simple extension of the original Hartnoll, Herzog and Horowitz (HHH) holographic superfluid model with two nonlinear scalar self-interaction terms $λ|ψ|^4$ and $τ|ψ|^6$ in the probe limit. Depending on the value of $λ$ and $τ$, this setup allows us to realize a large spectrum of holographic phase transitions which are 2nd, 1st and 0th order as well as the ``cave of wind'' phase transition. We speculate the landscape pictures and explore the near equilibrium dynamics of the lowest quasinormal modes (QNMs) across the whole phase diagram at both zero and finite wave-vector. We find that the zero wave-vector results of QNMs correctly present the stability of the system under homogeneous perturbations and perfectly agree with the landscape analysis of homogeneous configurations in canonical ensemble. The zero wave-vector results also show that a 0th order phase transition cannot occur since it always corresponds to a global instability of the whole system. The finite wave-vector results show that under inhomogeneous perturbations, the unstable region is larger than that under only homogeneous perturbations, and the new boundary of instability match with the turning point of condensate curve in grand canonical ensemble, indicating a new explanation from the subsystem point of view. The additional unstable section also perfectly match the section with negative value of charge susceptibility.

Holographic multi-condensate with nonlinear terms

We study the influence of nonlinear terms quartic of the charged fields, which do not change the critical points of single condensate solutions, on the phase structure of a holographic model with multi-condensate in probe limit. We include one s-wave order and one p-wave order charged under the same U(1) gauge field in the holographic model and study the influence of the three quartic nonlinear terms of the charged fields with coefficients $λ_s$, $λ_p$ and $λ_{sp}$ on the phase structure. We show the influence of each of the three parameters on the phase diagram with other two set to zero, respectively. With these nonlinear terms, we get more power on tuning the phase structure of the holographic system showing multi-condensate, and show how to get a reentrant phase transition as an example.
