E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: In this note, we have extended the result of [1] to calculate the membrane  1 stress tensor up to O D localized on the co-dimension one membrane world volume propagating in asymptotically flat/AdS/dS spacetime. We have shown that the subleading order membrane equation follows from the conservation equation of this stress tensor. Keywords: Black Holes, Classical Theories of Gravity ArXiv ePrint: 1912.00476

Introduction

Recently, it has been shown that in large number of dimensions D, the classical black hole dynamics simplify a lot [2–9].1 In this limit, the effect of the black hole gets confined around its event horizon in a parametrically thin shell whose thickness is proportional to the inverse of the number of spacetime dimensions — which we will refer to as ‘membrane’.

membrane is characterized by its shape (one variable) and a unit normalized velocity field on the membrane world volume (D −2 variables). There is a one-to-one correspondence between the dynamics of the black hole and the dynamics of the co-dimension one membrane propagating in the asymptotic spacetime of the black hole [6–9]. The Einstein’s equations 1 determine the effective equation of the membrane in an expansion in D . Up to the sublead1 ing order in D expansion, the membrane equations of motion take the following form [9] Pβα

These are D − 1 set of equations for as many variables and (1.1) defines a well-posed initial value problem for membrane dynamics. Here, Greek indices denote coordinates on the (D−1) — dimensional membrane worldvolume, uµ and Kµν denote the unit normalized velocity field and extrinsic curvature on the membrane surface respectively. All the quan(ind) tities in (1.1) are constructed using the induced metric gµν on the membrane — where the membrane is embedded in the b
