Semi-local quantum criticality and the instability of extremal planar horizons

Abstract We show that the Aretakis instability of compact extremal horizons persists in the planar case of interest to holography and discuss its connection with the emergence of “semi-local quantum criticality” in the field theory dual. In particular, the spatially localized power-law decay of this...
