Black hole solutions in heterotic string theory on a torus

We construct the general electrically charged, rotating black hole solution in the heterotic string theory compactified on a six-dimensional torus and study its classical properties. This black hole is characterized by its mass, angular momentum, and a 28-dimensional electric charge vector. We recover the axion-dilaton black holes and Kaluza-Klein black holes for special values of the charge vector. For a generic black hole of this kind, the 28-dimensional magnetic dipole moment vector is not proportional to the electric charge vector, and we need two different gyromagnetic ratios for specifying the relation between these two vectors. We also give an algorithm for constructing a 58 parameter rotating dyonic black hole solution in this theory, characterized by its mass, angular momentum, a 28-dimensional electric charge vector and a 28-dimensional magnetic charge vector. This is the most general asymptotically flat black hole solution in this theory consistent with the no-hair theorem.     

Transformations of asymptotically AdS hyperbolic initial data and associated geometric inequalities

We construct transformations which take asymptotically AdS hyperbolic initial data into asymptotically flat initial data, and which preserve relevant physical quantities. This is used to derive geometric inequalities in the asymptotically AdS hyperbolic setting from counterparts in the asymptotically flat realm, whenever a geometrically motivated system of elliptic equations admits a solution. The inequalities treated here relate mass, angular momentum, charge, and horizon area. Furthermore, new mass-angular momentum inequalities in this setting are conjectured and discussed.     

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.     

Chaos bound in Kerr-Newman-Taub-NUT black holes via circular motions

In this study, we investigate the influence of the angular momentum of a charged particle around Kerr-Newman-Taub-NUT black holes on the Lyapunov exponent and find spatial regions where the chaos bound is violated. The exponent is obtained by solving the determination of the eigenvalues of a Jacobian matrix in the phase space. Equilibrium positions are obtained by fixing the charge-to-mass ratio of the particle and changing its angular momentum. For certain values of the black holes' electric charge, the NUT charge and rotational parameter, a small angular momentum of the particle, even with zero angular momentum, causes violation of the bound. This violation disappears at a certain distance from the event horizon of the non-extremal Kerr-Newman-Taub-NUT black hole when the angular momentum increases to a certain value. When the black hole is extremal, the violation always exists no matter how the angular momentum changes. The ranges of the angular momentum and spatial regions for the violation are found. The black holes and particle rotating in the same and opposite directions are discussed.     

The gyromagnetic ratio of the proton

Certain nuclei can for many purposes be thought of as spinning round an axis like the Earth or like a top. In general the spin endows them with angular momentum and with a magnetic moment; the first because of their mass, the second because all or part of their electric charge may be rotating with the mass. Even the neutron, which does not have a net charge, has an electromagnetic moment. (The electro-magnetic moment is a vector quantity, the vector product of which with the magnetic flux density is equal to the torque). The quotient of the electro-magnetic moment to the angular momentum, called the gyromagnetic ratio, would be calculable if to each element of mass were associated a corresponding element of charge, but as the value thus obtained turns out to be very different from the measured value, roughly 5.6 times smaller in the case of the proton, we conclude that our knowledge of nuclei is not yet adequate for the calculation of the ratio. As however the nuclear gyromagnetic ratio γ, especially that of the simplest nucleus, the proton, enters into many relations between atomic constants, its determination is a matter of some importance.     

Black holes with scalar charge

Previously it had been thought that a stationary black hole with an exterior devoid of matter can be parametrized only by mass, angular momentum, and electric charge. We show here that scalar charge is also an admissible parameter. Our starting point is a new solution of Einstein's equations with stress-energy of electromagnetic and conformal scalar fields which we presented earlier. It has a black-hole geometry, and is parametrized by electric and scalar charges. Its conformal scalar field is unbounded at the event horizon, and we originally regarded this feature as incompatible with a black hole interpretation. However, following a suggestion of B. DeWitt, we show here that the infinity in the scalar field need not be physically pathological: it is not associated with an infinite potential barrier for test scalar charges; it does not cause the termination of any trajectories of these test particles at finite proper time; and it is not connected with unbounded tidal accelerations between neighboring trajectories. In view of these facts, we now regard the new solution as a genuine black hole solution.     

Accelerating Effect in Kerr-Newman-Kasuya Field

We have obtained expressions of the accelerating effect in Kerr-Newman Kasuya field. These expressionsinclude four parameters: mass m, angular momentum a, electric charge q, and magnetic charge φ. Furthermore we studyits special case (vi = 0). We get the following conclusion. In the gravitation field of souse mass with electric charge qand magnetic charge b, the acceleration of test particle has not only radial component but also transverse component.When θ = 0, the acceleration is minimum, and when θ = π/2, the acceleration is maximum. Furthermore, we discussthe effects of electric charge q and magnetic charge φ respectively.     

Mass and charge from higher dimensional geometry

We explore ways in which phenomenological physical quantities such as the rest mass and electric charge of a particle could be explained as properties of higher dimensional geometry. In 5D, it is shown that mass is related to the extra coordinate and charge is related to the extra momentum. This approach can be extended to supergravity and string theory.     

Electroweak sphalerons with spin and charge

We show that, at finite weak mixing angle the sphaleron solution of Weinberg–Salam theory can be endowed with angular momentum proportional to the electric charge. Carrying baryon number 1/2 these sphalerons with spin and charge may contribute to baryon number violating processes.     

Orbital angular momentum exchange in the interaction of twisted light with molecules

In the interaction of molecules with light endowed with orbital angular momentum, an exchange of orbital angular momentum in an electric dipole transition occurs only between the light and the center of mass motion; i.e., internal "electronic-type" motion does not participate in any exchange of orbital angular momentum in a dipole transition. A quadrupole transition is the lowest electric multipolar process in which an exchange of orbital angular momentum can occur between the light, the internal motion, and the center of mass motion. This rules out experiments seeking to observe exchange of orbital angular momentum between light beams and the internal motion in electric dipole transitions.     

Light-particle emission in the reaction 32S + 27A1 AT 135 and 190 MeV

The properties oflight particles emitted by the ³²S + ²⁷Al reaction at 135and 190 MeV bombarding energies were studied by means of a coincidence spectrometer. The spectrometer consisted of two large-area ionization chambers which measured the energy, momentum, mass and nuclear charge of the heavy reaction products. By requiring the conservation of those quantities the energy, momentum, mass and charge deficits were determined which are representative of the unobserved light particles. The analysis of the momentum deficit in the event plane did not yield an indication for a fast, direct process of light-particle emission. The alternative analysis in the fragments rest system confirmed the statistical nature of the emission process. The out-of-plane angular correlations were used to determine the spins of the particle-emitting fragments.     

Local dynamical characteristics of Bessel beams upon reflection near the Brewster angle

We analytically and numerically study the local dynamical characteristics of the Bessel beams reflected from an airglass interface near the Brewster angle.A Taylor series expansion based on the angular spectrum component is applied to correct the reflection coefficients near the Brewster angle.Using a hybrid angular spectrum representation and vector potential method,the explicit expressions for the electric and magnetic field components of the reflected Bessel beams are derived analytically under paraxial approximation.The local energy,momentum,spin,and orbital angular momentum of the Bessel beams upon reflection near the Brewster angle are examined numerically by utilizing a canonical approach.Numerical simulation results show that the properties of these dynamical quantities for the Bessel beams near Brewster angle incidence change abruptly,and are significantly affected by their topological charge,half-cone angle,and polarization state.The present study has its importance in understanding the dynamical aspects of optical beams with vortex structure and diffraction-free nature during the reflection process.     

Covariant anomalies and Hawking radiation from Kaluza–Klein AdS black holes

In this paper, Hawking radiation is studied from four-dimensional (4D) Kaluza–Klein (KK) AdS black holes via the method of anomaly cancellation. The KK-AdS black hole considered is a non-extremal charged rotating solution in the theory of 4D gauged supergravity. Its Hawking fluxes of electric charge, angular momentum and energy momentum tensor are derived here. Our results support the common view that Hawking radiation is the quantum effect arising at the event horizon.     

Angular momentum density of a Gaussian vortex beam

The Gaussian vortex beam is assumed to be linearly polarized.The analytical expression of the electric field of a linearly polarized Gaussian vortex beam propagating in free space is derived by using the vectorial Rayleigh-Sommerfeld integral formulae.The propagating magnetic field of the linearly polarized Gaussian vortex beam is presented by taking the curl of the electric field.By employing the electromagnetic field of the linearly polarized Gaussian vortex beam beyond the paraxial approximation,the analytical expression of the angular momentum density of the linearly polarized Gaussian vortex beam is derived.The three components of the angular momentum density of a linearly polarized Gaussian vortex beam are demonstrated in the reference plane.The effects of the linearly polarized angle and the topological charge on the three components of the angular momentum density are investigated.To acquire the more longitudinal angular momentum density requires such an optimal choice that the linearly polarized angle is set to be zero and the topological charge increases.This research is useful to the optical trapping,the optical guiding,and the optical manipulation.     

Rotating skyrmions of the (2 + 1)-dimensional Skyrme gauge model with a Chern-Simons term

The (2 + 1)-dimensional Skyrme gauge model with a Chern-Simons term is considered. The presence of the Chern-Simons term makes possible the existence of two-dimensional skyrmions in this model, which carry magnetic flux and have an electric charge and a nonzero angular momentum. It is shown that the model also admits the existence of two-dimensional skyrmions with a nonzero phase frequency of rotation. Due to the nontrivial topological properties of the model, the magnetic flux, the electric charge, and the angular momentum of a two-dimensional rotating skyrmion turn out to be interrelated. Analytic and numerical investigations of the properties of rotating two-dimensional skyrmions are carried out.     

On the stationary axisymmetric Einstein-Maxwell equations

This paper is concerned with the class of exterior stationary axisymmetric solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations that arise from sources in which the mass is proportional to the charge and the angular momentum is proportional to the magnetic moment. With the use of Ernst's formulation the Einstein-Maxwell equations for this class are reduced to two coupled equations for two unknowns.     

Exact solution for the gravitational field of a charged,magnetized, spinning mass

A family of solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell field equations is presented, corresponding to the exterior of stationaryaxisymmetric sources with charge, mass, angular momentum, and magnetic dipole moment. The Riemann tensor vanishes asymptotically for each member of the family; some solutions are asymptotically flat and some have NUT-like behavior asymptotically. For the asymptotically flat solutions, the gyromagnetic ratio may vary from zero to one. The corresponding value for the Kerr-Newman solution is one. A method for generating infinite chains of families of solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations is described.     

Orbital and Field Angular Momentum in the Nucleon

The nucleon spin problem raises experimental and theoretical questions regarding the contribution of the orbital angular momentum of the quarks to the total spin of the nucleon. In this article we examine the commutation relationships of various operators that contribute to the total angular momentum of the nucleon. We find that the sum of the orbital plus gluon field angular momenta should satisfy the angular momentum commutators, at least up to the one-loop level. This, requirement on the sum of these operators imposes a non-trivial restriction on the form of the color electric and magnetic fields. This is similar to the magnetic monopole/electric charge system where it is only the sum of the orbital plus field angular momentum that satisfies the correct commutation relationships.     

Magnetization dynamics due to pure spin currents in magnetic double layers

The magnetization dynamics in magnetic double layers is affected by spin-pump and spin-sink effects. So far, only the spin pumping and its effect on the magnetic damping has been studied. However, due to conservation of angular momentum this spin current also leads to magnetic excitation of the layer dissipating this angular momentum. In this Letter we use time resolved magneto-optic Kerr effect to directly show the excitation due to the pure spin current. In particular, we observe magnetization dynamics due to transfer of angular momentum in magnetic double layers. In contrast to other experiments where a spin polarized charge current is passed through a nanomagnet, the effects discussed in this Letter are based on pure spin currents without net transfer of electric charge.     

Rotating charged black holes in Einstein-Born-Infeld theories and their ADM mass

In this work, the solution of the Einstein equations for a slowly rotating black hole with Born-Infeld charge is obtained. Geometrical properties and horizons of this solution are analyzed. The conditions when the ADM mass (as in the nonlinear static cases) and the ADM angular momentum of the system have been modified by the non linear electromagnetic field of the black hole, are considered.
