Abstract: We analyze the semiclassical stability of the Schwarzschild AdS black hole in the Euclidean partition function approach. We perform this computation in the large D limit and focus on scalar perturbations. We obtain the equations for non-spherically symmetric scalar perturbations in a simple form. For a class of perturbations stability is demonstrated by the S-deformation method. For some other classes we rule out unstable modes of mathcalO(D2). We also analyze the spherically symmetric perturbations and demonstrate the appearance of an unstable mode for small black holes in the large D limit. We obtain an expression for the eigenvalue corresponding to the unstable mode to next to leading order in a 1/D expansion. This result agrees with a previously obtained numerical bound on this eigenvalue. For cosmological constant zero, our answer matches a previous result obtained for the corresponding eigenvalue for the D dimensional Schwarzschild-Tangherlini black hole to next to leading order in a 1/D expansion.
