Hawking radiation from a general spherically symmetric evaporating black hole

By means of generalized tortoise coordinates both the Klein-Gordon equation and the Dirac equation are reduced near the event horizon of a general spherically symmetric evaporating black hole. The location and the temperature of the event horizon are given automatically without calculating the energy-momentum tensor. The Hawking thermal spectra of the Klein-Gordon particles and the Dirac particles are obtained, respectively.

A new (original) set of Quasi-normal modes in spherically symmetric AdS black hole spacetimes

From black hole perturbation theory, quasi-normal modes (QNMs) in spherically symmetric AdS black hole spacetimes are usually studied with the Horowitz and Hubeny methods [1] by imposing the Dirichlet or vanishing energy flux boundary conditions. This method was constructed using the scalar perturbation case and box-like effective potentials, where the radial equation tends to go to infinity when the radial coordinate approaches infinity. These QNMs can be realized as a different set of solutions from those obtained by the barrier-like effective potentials. However, in some cases the existence of barrier-like effective potentials in AdS black hole spacetimes can be found. In these cases this means that we would obtain a new (original) set of QNMs by the purely ingoing and purely outgoing boundary conditions when the radial coordinate goes to the event horizon and infinity, respectively. Obtaining this set of QNMs in AdS black hole cases is the main focus of this paper.

Geometric inequalities in spherically symmetric spacetimes

In geometric inequalities ADM mass plays more fundamental role than the concept of quasi-local mass. This paper is to demonstrate that using the quasi-local mass some new insights can be acquired. In spherically symmetric spacetimes the Misner–Sharp mass and the concept of the Kodama vector field provides an ideal setting to the investigations of geometric inequalities. We applying the proposed new techniques to investigate the spacetimes containing black hole or cosmological horizons but we shall also apply them in context of normal bodies. Most of the previous investigations applied only the quasi-local charges and the area. Our main point is to include the quasi-local mass in the corresponding geometrical inequalities. This way we recover some known relations but new inequalities are also derived.     

Are all static black hole solutions spherically symmetric?

The static black hole solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell equations are all spherically symmetric, as are many of the recently discovered black hole solutions in theories of gravity coupled to other forms of matter. However, counterexamples demonstrating that static black holes need not be spherically symmetric exist in theories, such as the standard electroweak model, with electrically charged massive vector fields. In such theories, a magnetically charged Reissner-Nordström solution with sufficiently small horizon radius is unstable against the development of a nonzero vector field outside the horizon. General arguments show that, for generic values of the magnetic charge, this field cannot be spherically symmetric. Explicit construction of the solution shows that it in fact has no rotational symmetry at all.This essay received the second award from the Gravity Research Foundation, 1995-Ed.     

Quasi-local energy for spherically symmetric spacetimes

We present two complementary approaches for determining the reference for the covariant Hamiltonian boundary term quasi-local energy and test them on spherically symmetric spacetimes. On the one hand, we isometrically match the 2-surface and extremize the energy. This can be done in two ways, which we call programs I (without constraint) and II (with additional constraints). On the other hand, we match the orthonormal 4-frames of the dynamic and the reference spacetimes. Then, if we further specify the observer by requiring the reference displacement to be the timelike Killing vector of the reference, the result is the same as program I, and the energy can be positive, zero, or even negative. If, instead, we require that the Lie derivatives of the two-area along the displacement vector in both the dynamic and reference spacetimes to be the same, the result is the same as program II, and it satisfies the usual criteria: the energies are non-negative and vanish only for Minkowski (or anti-de Sitter) spacetime.     

Accretion of a conducting medium onto a spherically symmetric black hole imbedded in a magnetic field

The relativistic motion of a conducting continuous medium in the vicinity of a black hole imbedded in a magnetic field is discussed. Expressions are obtained which characterize the variation of the magnetic field as a result of the accretion of matter.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 11, pp. 69–71, November, 1981.     

Parametrical embeddings of static spherically symmetric spacetimes

An analysis for a direct calculation of the embeddings in flat spacetimes of static spherically symmetric manifolds with Lorentz metric is worked out. For each manifold with non-constant curvature we arrive at a parametrical embedding which represents an infinite geometrical multiplicity of the embedded surface. The embeddings of manifolds with constant curvature are not parametrical and can be determined univocally. Examples concerning Schwarzschild, Reissner-Weyl, de Sitter and anti-de Sitter spacetimes are considered.     

Sound horizon of accretion onto a Kerr black hole

Two accretion modes (disclike and Bondi type), based on a discontinuous change in location of the sound horizon, exist generally for accretion onto a Kerr black hole, except for the case of a corotating accretion flow onto a very rapidly rotating hole, in which only Bondi-type mode is possible.

Conformal symmetries in static spherically symmetric spacetimes

We obtain the conformal symmetry vector in static, spherically symmetric spacetimes, in terms of functions subject to a number of integrability conditions that also place restrictions on the metric. Some conformal symmetries found previously are regained as special cases.     

The accretion of dark energy onto a black hole

The stationary, spherically symmetric accretion of dark energy onto a Schwarzschild black hole is considered in terms of relativistic hydrodynamics. The approximation of an ideal fluid is used to model the dark energy. General expressions are derived for the accretion rate of an ideal fluid with an arbitrary equation of state p = p(ρ) onto a black hole. The black hole mass was found to decrease for the accretion of phantom energy. The accretion process is studied in detail for two dark energy models that admit an analytical solution: a model with a linear equation of state, p = α(ρ ? ρ₀), and a Chaplygin gas. For one of the special cases of a linear equation of state, an analytical expression is derived for the accretion rate of dark energy onto a moving and rotating black hole. The masses of all black holes are shown to approach zero in cosmological models with phantom energy in which the Big Rip scenario is realized.     

Existence and stability of circular orbits in general static and spherically symmetric spacetimes

The existence and stability of circular orbits (CO) in static and spherically symmetric (SSS) spacetime are important because of their practical and potential usefulness. In this paper, using the fixed point method, we first prove a necessary and sufficient condition on the metric function for the existence of timelike COs in SSS spacetimes. After analyzing the asymptotic behavior of the metric, we then show that asymptotic flat SSS spacetime that corresponds to a negative Newtonian potential at large r will always allow the existence of CO. The stability of the CO in a general SSS spacetime is then studied using the Lyapunov exponent method. Two sufficient conditions on the (in)stability of the COs are obtained. For null geodesics, a sufficient condition on the metric function for the (in)stability of null CO is also obtained. We then illustrate one powerful application of these results by showing that three SSS spacetimes whose metric function is not completely known will allow the existence of timelike and/or null COs. We also used our results to assert the existence and (in)stabilities of a number of known SSS metrics.
