Is there a breakdown of effective field theory at the horizon of an extremal black hole?
Abstract Linear perturbations of extremal black holes exhibit the Aretakis instability, in which higher derivatives of a scalar field grow polynomially with time along the event horizon. This suggests that higher derivative corrections to the classical equations of motion may become large, indicatin...
