黑洞的唯一性在更高的维度中是失败的，而黑洞相的多重性导致了广义相对论中的相变物理学。黑洞-黑弦跃迁是这类系统的主要实现，它的相图在过去几年里一直是大量研究的主题。最令人惊讶的结果似乎是临界尺寸的出现，系统的定性行为发生了变化，以及一种新的拓扑结构发生了变化。最近，一个完整的相图被数值确定，证实了早先关于黑洞和黑弦相合并的预言，并给出了非常强有力的证据，证明格雷戈里-拉弗拉姆不稳定性的终态是一个黑洞（在5 <$D <$13维范围内）。在这里，我们将对这一进展进行回顾，并以数字加以说明，将其置于更广泛的背景下，同时列出仍然存在的问题。
Black-hole uniqueness is known to fail in higher dimensions, and the multiplicity of black hole phases leads to phase transitions physics in General Relativity. The black-hole black-string transition is a prime realization of such a system and its phase diagram has been the subject of considerable study in the last few years. The most surprising results seem to be the appearance of critical dimensions where the qualitative behavior of the system changes, and a novel kind of topology change. Recently, a full phase diagram was determined numerically, confirming earlier predictions for a merger of the black-hole and black-string phases and giving very strong evidence that the end-state of the Gregory–Laflamme instability is a black hole (in the dimension range 5⩽D⩽13). Here this progress is reviewed, illustrated with figures, put into a wider context, and the still open questions are listed.
