Recently, plasma balls spinning above a critical rotation were found to be unstable against m-lobed perturbations. In the phase diagram of stationary solutions the threshold of the instability signals a bifurcation to a new phase of non-axisymmetric configurations. We find explicitly this family of solutions and represent them in the phase diagram. We discuss the implications of our results for the gravitational system. Rotating non-axisymmetric black holes necessarily radiate gravitational waves. We thus emphasize that it would be important, albeit possibly out of present reach, to have a better understanding of the hydrodynamic description of gravitational waves and of the gravitational interaction between two bodies. We also argue that it might well be that a non-axisymmetric m-lobed instability is also present in Myers-Perry black holes for rotations below the recently found ultraspinning instability.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-01-11T15:05:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "phase diagram", "non-axisymmetric plasma balls", "holes necessarily radiate gravitational", "necessarily radiate gravitational waves", "black holes necessarily radiate" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Springer", "journal": "Journal of High Energy Physics", "year": 2010, "month": "Jan", "volume": 2010, "pages": 21 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 832694, "adsabs": "2010JHEP...01..021C" } } }
