Figure 21: Left panel: Collision of two shock waves in AdS5. The energy density is represented
as a function of an (advanced) time coordinate and a longitudinal coordinate . defines
the amplitude of the waves. Right panel: Evolution of the scalar field in an unstable RN-AdS BH.
is a radial coordinate and the AdS boundary is at . Due to the instability of the BH, the
scalar density grows exponentially for . Then, the scalar density approaches some static
function. Images reproduced with permission from (left) [207], copyright by APS and (right) [562],
