Abstract

The majority of work on asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes, much of it motivated by the AdS/CFT correspondence, assumes configurations which are either at or close to equilibrium. Recently it has been discovered that genuinely dynamical spacetimes with AdS asymptotics can exhibit some surprising behaviour. In particular, numerical studies suggest AdS is dynamically unstable. I will discuss recent analytical (in)stability results for asymptotically AdS spacetimes, in particular how stability can be affected by boundary conditions at the timelike conformal infinity.
