Mixmaster Universe Models with Matter in Jordan-Brans-Dicke Theory

We discuss the dynamics of anisotropic Bianchitype IX models in Jordan-Brans-Dicke cosmological theoryrendering the evolution of a universe model with closedspace near its beginning before inflation sets in. This paper displays how, when writtenin terms of reduced variables, the field equations allowstraightforward partial integration. The mean expansionH, the scalar field, and the three scale factors aregiven in terms of the volume expansion.     

Quantum Black Hole

Creation of a black hole in quantum cosmology is the third way of black hole formation. In contrast to the gravitational collapse from a massive body in astrophysics or from the quantum fluctuation of matter fields in the very early universe, in the quantum cosmology scenario the black hole is essentially created from nothing. The black hole originates from a constrained gravitational instanton. The probability of creation for all kinds of single black holes in the Kerr-Newman family, at the semiclassical level, is the exponential of the total entropy of the universe, or one quarter of the sum of both the black hole and the cosmological horizon areas. The de Sitter spacetime is the most probable evolution at the Planckian era.     

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: General Non-Rotating Perfect-Fluid Solution with an Abelian Spacelike C3 Including Only One Isometry

The general solution for non-rotating perfect-fluid spacetimes admitting one Killing vector and two conformal (non-isometric) Killing vectors spanning an abelian three-dimensional conformal algebra (C₃) acting on spacelike hypersurfaces is presented. It is of Petrov type D; some properties of the family such as matter contents are given. This family turns out to be an extension of a solution recently given in [9] using completely different methods. The family contains Friedman-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker particular cases and could be useful as a test for the different FLRW perturbation schemes. There are two very interesting limiting cases, one with a non-abelian G₂ and another with an abelian G₂ acting non-orthogonally transitively on spacelike surfaces and with the fluid velocity non-orthogonal to the group orbits. No examples are known to the authors in these classes.     

Coordinates with Non-Singular Curvature for a Time Dependent Black Hole Horizon

A naive introduction of a dependency of the mass of a black hole on the Schwarzschild time coordinate results in singular behavior of curvature invariants at the horizon, violating expectations from complementarity. If instead a temporal dependence is introduced in terms of a coordinate akin to the river time representation, the Ricci scalar is nowhere singular away from the origin. It is found that for a shrinking mass scale due to evaporation, the null radial geodesics that generate the horizon are slightly displaced from the coordinate singularity. In addition, a changing horizon scale significantly alters the form of the coordinate singularity in diagonal (orthogonal) metric coordinates representing the space-time. A Penrose diagram describing the growth and evaporation of an example black hole is constructed to examine the evolution of the coordinate singularity.     

Back Reaction of Charged Black Hole

The existence of the Hawking radiation of theblack hole surely affects spacetime. Here, using athermodynamic approach, to avoid the difficulty offinding the energy-momentum tensor, we obtainexpressions for the energy and entropy of theReissner–Nordstrom black hole (RNBH), and providea better way of solving the backreaction of more complexblack holes.     

Exact Interior Solutions for Charged Fluid Spheres

A new method is discussed to obtain the interior solution of Einstein-Maxwell equations for a charged static sphere from a known particular solutions of a similar kind. Beginning with a charged fluid interior solution reported by Patel and Pandya [11], a new interior Reissner-Nördstrom metric is obtained using this method and physical aspects of it are extensively discussed.     

Geodesic Study of a Charged Black Hole

The behavior of the timelike and null geodesics of charged E. Ayón-Beato and A. Garcia (ABG) black hole are investigated. For circular and radial geodesics, we investigate all the possible motions by plotting the effective potentials for different parameters. In conclusion, we have shown that there is no phenomenon of superradiance in this case.     

Massive, Non-ghost Solutions for the Dirac Field Coupled Self-consistently to Gravity

We present new, massive, non-ghost solutions for the Dirac field coupled self-consistently to gravity. We employ a gauge-theoretic formulation of gravity which automatically identifies the spin of the Dirac field with the torsion of the gauge fields. Homogeneity of the field observables requires that the spatial sections be flat. Expanding and collapsing singular solutions are given, as well as a solution which expands from a singularity before recollapsing. Torsion effects are only important while the Compton wavelength of the Dirac field is larger than the Hubble radius. We study the motion of spinning point-particles in the background of the expanding solution. The anisotropy due to the torsion is manifest in the particle trajectories.     

Tunneling Radiation of the Charged Particles for Charged Spherical Black Hole in VGM

Applying Parikh’s semi-classical tunneling method, Hawking radiation of charged massive particles via tunneling from charged spherical black hole in vacuum for Vector Graviton Metric theory (VGM) of gravitation is investigated. Because the derivation respects conservation of energy and charge, the tunneling rate of particles is relevant to the change of Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and the exact spectrum is not precisely thermal. The result employs an underlying unitary theory. PACS numbers: 04.70.-s, 97.60. Lf     

O(d,d)-invariance in Inhomogeneous String Cosmologies with Perfect Fluid

In the first part of the present paper, we showthat O(d,d)-invariance usually known in a homogeneouscosmological background written in terms of proper timecan be extended to backgrounds depending on one or several coordinates [which may be anyspace-like or time-like coordinate(s)]. In all cases,the presence of a perfect fluid is taken into accountand the equivalent duality transformation in Einstein frame is explicitly given. In the second part,we present several concrete applications to somefour-dimensional metrics, including inhomogeneous ones,which illustrate the different duality transformations discussed in the first part. Note that most ofthe dual solutions given here do not seem to be known inthe literature.     

Entropy Corrections for a Charged Black Hole of String Theory

We study the entropy of the Gibbons-Maeda-Garfinkle-Horowitz-Strominger (GMGHS) charged black hole, originated from the effective action thatemerges in the low-energy of string theory, beyond semiclassical approximations. Applying the properties of exact differentials for three variables to the first law thermodynamics we derive the quantum correctionsto the entropy of the black hole. The leading (logarithmic) and non leading corrections to the area law are obtained.     

Entropy of N-Dimensional Spherically Symmetric Charged Black Hole

By using the method of quantum statistics, we derive directly the partition functions of bosonic andfermionic fields in the N-dimensional spherically symmetric charged black hole space-time. The statistical entropy ofblack hole is obtained by an improved brick-wall method. When we choose proper parameters in our results, we canobtain that the entropy of black hole is proportional to the area of horizon. In our result, there do not exist neglectedterm and divergent logarithmic term given in the original brick-wall method. We avoid the difficulty in solving the waveequation of scalar and Dirac fields. We offer a simple and direct way of studying entropy of the higher-dimensional black hole.     

Bergmann-Thomson Energy of a Charged Rotating Black Hole

We obtain the energy distribution associated with a charged rotating (Kerr-Newman) black hole in Bergmann-Thomson formulation. We find that the energy-momentum definitions prescribed by Einstein, Landau-Lifshitz, Papapetrou, Weinberg, and Bergmann-Thomson give the same and acceptable result and also support the Cooperstock hypothesis for energy localization in general relativity. The repulsive effect due to the electric charge and rotation parameters of the metric is also reflected from the energy distribution expression.     

Quantum Thermal Effect of Nonstatic Charged Black Hole

The difficulty of calculating energy-momentumtensors is avoided by finding directly the solution ofKlein–Gordon and Dirac equations near the horizon.Both the location of the event horizon and the Hawking radiation temperature of a nonstatic chargedblack hole are shown. The results indicate that theHawking radiation temperature can be regarded as acompensating effect under the timescaletransformation.     

Accretion onto the Magnetically Charged Regular Black Hole

We investigate the accretion process for static spherically symmetric geometry, i.e., magnetically charged regular black hole with isotropic fluid. We obtain generalized expressions for the velocity(u(r)), speed of sound(c_s~2),energy density(ρ(r)) and accretion rate(M) at the critical point near the regular black hole during the accretion process. We also plot these physical parameters against fixed values of charge, mass and different values of equation of state parameter to study the process of accretion. We find that radial velocity and energy density of the fluid remain positive and negative as well as rate of change of mass is increased and decreased for dust, stiff,quintessence fluid and phantom-like fluid, respectively.     

Hawking Radiation of Charged Particles in Reissner-NordstrSm Black Hole

We extend the method that Banerjee and Majhi have used to discuss Hawking radiation. Under the condition that the total energy and electrical charge of spacetime are conserved, we investigate Hawking radiation of the charged black hole by a new Tortoise coordinate transformation. Taking the reaction of the radiation of the particle to the spacetime into consideration, we not only derive the radiation spectrum that satisfies the unitary principle in quantum mechanics but also show that the contribution of ingoing particles is equal to the one of outgoing particles on the similar chemical potential term in radiation spectrum caused by charged particles.     

The Shell of Incoherent Charged Matter Falling onto a Charged Rotating Black Hole

The motion of the shell of charged testparticles falling radially from rest at infinity withzero total angular momentum onto a Kerr–Newmanblack hole is studied. The shell, initially spherical,becomes prolate along the axis of symmetry of the holeduring the fall. The shape of the shell from theviewpoint of distant observers is characterized by meansof the photons moving along geodesics of the outgoing principal null congruence. The motion of theshell is examined analytically for large distances andnear the horizon. In the special case, when at largedistances of the hole the attractive Newtongravitational force is compensated by the repulsive Coulombforce, the complete motion is given explicitly in termsof elementary functions.     

Geometrothermodynamics of a Charged Black Hole of String Theory

The thermodynamics of the Gibbons–Maeda–Garfinkle–Horowitz–Strominger charged black hole from string theory is reformulated within the context of the recently developed formalism of geometrothermodynamics. The geometry of the space of equilibrium states is curved, but we show that the thermodynamic curvature does not diverge at the phase transition point expected when the black hole solution becomes a naked singularity. This provides a counterexample to the conventional notion that such a divergence signals the occurrence of a second-order phase transition.
