Universal properties of distorted Kerr–Newman black holes

We discuss universal properties of axisymmetric and stationary configurations consisting of a central black hole and surrounding matter in Einstein–Maxwell theory. In particular, we find that certain physical equations and inequalities (involving angular momentum, electric charge and horizon area) are not restricted to the Kerr–Newman solution but can be generalized to the situation where the black hole is distorted by an arbitrary axisymmetric and stationary surrounding matter distribution.     

Photon emission of extremal Kerr–Newman black holes

In this paper, we deal with the null geodesics extending from the near-horizon region out to a distant observatory in an extremal Kerr–Newman black hole background. In particular, using the matched asymptotic expansion method, we analytically solve the null geodesics near the superradiant bound in the form of algebraic equations. For the case that the photon trajectories are limited in the equatorial plane, the shifts in the azimuthal angle and time are obtained.     

Charged fermions tunnelling from Kerr–Newman black holes

We consider the tunnelling of charged spin 1/2 fermions from a Kerr–Newman black hole and demonstrate that the expected Hawking temperature is recovered. We discuss certain technical subtleties related to the obtention of this result.     

Order parameter in the critical phenomena of Kerr–Newman black holes

An order parameter is introduced in describing the singular thermodynamical behaviour of Kerr–Newman black holes in the vicinity of a certain critical temperature. The mean square fluctuation of the order parameter is calculated. The analogy between the critical temperature of a black hole and the Hagedorn temperature in hadronic physics and string theory is discussed.     

Evaporation of near-extremal Reissner-Nordström black holes

The formation of near-extremal Reissner-Nordstr?m black holes in the S-wave approximation can be described, near the event horizon, by an effective solvable model. The corresponding one-loop quantum theory remains solvable and allows one to follow analytically the evaporation process, which is shown to require an infinite amount of time.     

Dyonic Kerr–Newman black holes,complex scalar field and cosmic censorship

We construct a gedanken experiment, in which a weak wave packet of the complex massive scalar field interacts with a four-parameter (mass, angular momentum, electric and magnetic charges) Kerr–Newman black hole. We show that this interaction cannot convert an extreme the black hole into a naked sigularity for any black hole parameters and any generic wave packet configuration. The analysis therefore provides support for the weak cosmic censorship conjecture.     

Hawking radiation of Kerr–Newman–de Sitter black hole

We extend the classical Damour–Ruffini method and discuss Hawking radiation in Kerr–Newman–de Sitter (KNdS) black hole. Under the condition that the total energy, angular momentum and charge of spacetime are conserved, taking the reaction of the radiation of the particle to the spacetime and the relation between the black hole event horizon and the cosmological horizon into consideration, we derive the black hole radiation spectrum. The radiation spectrum is no longer a pure thermal one. It is related to the change of the Bekenstein–Hawking entropy corresponding the black hole event horizon and the cosmological horizon. It is consistent with the underlying unitary theory.     

Hawking temperature of Kerr–Newman–AdS black hole from tunneling

Using the null-geodesic tunneling method of Parikh and Wilczek, we derive the Hawking temperature of a general four-dimensional rotating black hole. In order to eliminate the motion of ? degree of freedom of a tunneling particle, we have chosen a reference system that is co-rotating with the black hole horizon. Then we give the explicit result for the Hawking temperature of the Kerr–Newman–AdS black hole from the tunneling approach.     

Wiggly strings of radial configuration in Kerr–Newman black hole

Previously we have investigated the cosmic wiggly strings in (3 + 1)-dimensional Schwarzschild, Reissner–Nordström and Kerr black holes. As an extension the solutions in (3 + 1)-dimensional axially symmetric charged rotating black hole are investigated. The solutions for the wiggly string exhibit open strings lying in the radial direction in the equatorial plane outside the horizon.     

On hidden symmetries of extremal Kerr–NUT–AdS–dS black holes

It is well known that the Kerr–NUT–AdS–dS black hole admits two linearly independent Killing vectors and possesses a hidden symmetry generated by a rank-2 Killing tensor. The near-horizon geometry of an extremal Kerr–NUT–AdS–dS black hole admits four linearly independent Killing vectors, and we show how the hidden symmetry of the black hole itself is carried over by means of a modified Killing–Yano potential which is given explicitly. We demonstrate that the corresponding Killing tensor of the near-horizon geometry is reducible as it can be expressed in terms of the Casimir operators formed by the four Killing vectors.     

Effects of thermal fluctuations on the Kerr–Newman–NUT–AdS black hole

This paper is devoted to studying the impact of thermal fluctuations on thermodynamics of rotating as well as charged anti-de Sitter black holes with the Newman–Unti–Tamburino(NUT)parameter. To this end, we derive the analytic expression of thermodynamic variables, namely the Hawking temperature, volume, angular velocity, and entropy within the limits of extended phase space. These variables meet the first law of thermodynamics as well as the Smarr relation in the presence of new NUT charge. To analyze the effects of quantum fluctuations, we derive the exact expression of corrected entropy, which yields modification in other thermodynamical equations of state. The local stability and phase transition of the considered black hole are also examined through specific heat. It is found that the NUT parameter increases the stability of small black holes, while the logarithmic corrections induce instability in the system.     

Test of the weak cosmic censorship conjecture with a charged scalar field and dyonic Kerr–Newman black holes

A thought experiment considered recently in the literature, in which it is investigated whether a dyonic Kerr–Newman black hole can be destroyed by overcharging or overspinning it past extremality by a massive complex scalar test field, is revisited. Another derivation of the result that this is not possible, i.e. the weak cosmic censorship is not violated in this thought experiment, is given. The derivation is based on conservation laws, on a null energy condition, and on specific properties of the metric and the electromagnetic field of dyonic Kerr–Newman black holes. The metric is kept fixed, whereas the dynamics of the electromagnetic field is taken into account. A detailed knowledge of the solutions of the equations of motion is not needed. The approximation in which the electromagnetic field is fixed is also considered, and a derivation for this case is also given. In addition, an older version of the thought experiment, in which a pointlike test particle is used, is revisited. The same result, namely the non-violation of the cosmic censorship, is rederived in a way which is simpler than in earlier works.     

Hawking radiation of stationary and non-stationary Kerr–de Sitter black holes

Hawking radiation of the stationary Kerr–de Sitter black hole is investigated using the relativistic Hamilton–Jacobi method. Meanwhile, extending this work to a non-stationary black hole using Dirac equations and generalized tortoise coordinate transformation, we derived the locations, the temperature of the thermal radiation as well as the maximum energy of the non-thermal radiation. It is found that the surface gravity and the Hawking temperature depend on both time and different angles. An extra coupling effect is obtained in the thermal radiation spectrum of Dirac particles which is absent from thermal radiation of scalar particles. Further, the chemical potential derived from the thermal radiation spectrum of scalar particle has been found to be equal to the highest energy of the negative energy state of the scalar particle in the non-thermal radiation for the Kerr–de Sitter black hole. It is also shown that for stationary black hole space time, these two different methods give the same Hawking radiation temperature.     

Area spectra of extreme Kerr and nearly extreme Kerr–Newmann black holes from quasinormal modes

The area spectra of extreme Kerr and nearly extreme Kerr–Newmann black holes are investigated from quasinormal modes via Maggiore’s physical interpretation of quasinormal modes. Using the first law of black hole thermodynamics and the action variable quantization, we arrive at consistent equally spaced area and entropy spectra. Results show that the spectra are irrelevant to the parameters of the black holes and the perturbation fields, which fully agree with Bekensteins original conjecture. In the calculations, we have defined the corresponding Hawking temperatures of the black holes following the suggestion of Mäkelä et al. to avoid the zero temperature and to guarantee the (nearly-) extreme black holes quantizable.     

Kerr–Newman black hole thermodynamical state space: blockwise coordinates

A coordinate system that blockwise-simplifies the Kerr–Newman black hole’s thermodynamical state space Ruppeiner metric geometry is constructed, with discussion of the limiting cases corresponding to simpler black holes. It is deduced that one of the three conformal Killing vectors of the Reissner–Nordström and Kerr cases (whose thermodynamical state space metrics are 2 by 2 and conformally flat) survives generalization to the Kerr–Newman case’s 3 by 3 thermodynamical state space metric.
