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.     

The Global Structure of Spherically Symmetric Charged Scalar Field Spacetimes

We study the spherical collapse of self-gravitating charged scalar fields. The main result gives a complete characterization of the future boundary of spacetime, providing a starting point for studying the cosmic censorship conjectures. In general, the boundary includes two null components, one emanating from the center of symmetry and the other from the future limit point of null infinity, joined by an achronal component to which the area-radius function r extends continuously to zero. Various components of the boundary a priori may be empty and establishing such generic emptiness would suffice to prove formulations of weak or strong cosmic censorship. As a simple corollary of the boundary characterization, the present paper rules out scenarios of ‘naked singularity’ formation by means of ‘super-charging’ (near-)extremal Reissner-Nordström black holes. The main difficulty in delimiting the boundary is isolated in proving a suitable global extension principle that effectively excludes a broad class of singularity formation. This suggests a new notion of ‘strongly tame’ matter models, which we introduce in this paper. The boundary characterization proven here extends to any such ‘strongly tame’ Einstein-matter system.     

Exact Solutions for Shear-free Motion of Spherically Symmetric Charged Perfect Fluid Distributions in General Relativity

An in-depth study of various methods, and their correlations, of obtaining exact solutions of Einstein-Maxwell field equations representing shear free motion of spherically symmetric charged perfect fluid distributions has been made. It is shown that one can employ isotropic coordinate systems without any loss of generality. However the investigations have been carried out in an arbitrary coordinate system. The exact solutions relating to simple situations viz. (i) homogeneous density distribution, ϱ=ϱ(t), (ii) conformally flat solutions and (iii) distributions obeying an equation of state, p=p(ϱ) are briefly discussed. The methods due to MCVITTIE (1967), introduced initially for neutral fluids, and MASHHON and PARTOVI (1979) where one assumes the metric in a convenient form form one group and the methods due to SHAH and VAIDYA (1968), CHAKRAVARTY and CHATTERJEE (1978), CHATTERJEE (1984) and SUSSMAN (1987) where one chooses suitably two arbitrary functions of integration form the other group. This splitting of various methods into two is based on the earlier analogous work for the neutral fluids due to SRIVASTAVA (1987). Using McVittie's procedure we obtain a solution which in its uncharged limit reduces to Friedmann-Robertson-Walker solution whereas for non-vanishing charge is equivalent to the solution due to SHAH and VAIDYA (1967). This solution is termed as generalised Shah-Vaidya solution or charged Friedmann-Robertson-Walker solution. A suitable generalisation of Mashhoon and Partovi's procedure has been found to contain MASHHOON-PARTOVI solution (1979) and SHAH-VAIDYA solution (1967) as members of a class. The method employed by CHATTERJEE (1978), which does not yield the general solution of the problem, has been shown to lead to the procedure adopted by SUSSMAN (1987) after it is generalised suitably. The McVittie type and Wyman type solutions introduced by Sussman has been found to be contained in McV class of metries discussed here. It is also found that solutions obtained by CHAKRAVARTY and CHATTERJEE (1978) represent a class of charged Kustaanheimo-Qvist solution which are expressible as elementary functions. Finally, all known solutions have been derived introducing an adhoc assumption in the form of a mathematical relation and searching for the solutions free from movable critical points.     

Rindler-like Horizon in Spherically Symmetric Spacetime

In this paper, the Rindler-like horizon in a spherically symmetric spacetime is proposed. It is showed that just like the Rindler horizon in Minkowski spacetimes, there is also a Rindler-like horizon to a family of special observers in general spherically symmetric spacetimes. The entropy of this type of horizon is calculated with the thin film brick-wall model. The significance of entropy is discussed. Our results imply some connection between Bekeinstein-Hawking entropy and entanglement entropy.     

On Spherically Symmetric Gravitational Collapse

This paper considers the dynamics of a classical problem in astrophysics, the behavior of spherically symmetric gravitational collapse starting from a uniform, density cloud of interstellar gas. Previous work on this problem proposed a universal self-similar solution for the collapse yielding a collapsed mass much smaller than the mass contained in the initial cloud. This paper demonstrates the existence of a second threshold—not far above the marginal collapse threshold—above which the asymptotic collapse is not universal. In this regime, small changes in the initial data or weak stochastic forcing leads to qualitatively different collapse dynamics. In the absence of instabilities, a progressing wave solution yields a collapsed uniform core with infinite density. Under some conditions the instabilities ultimately lead to the well-known self-similar dynamics. However, other instabilities can cause the density profile to become non-monotone and produce a shock in the velocity. In presenting these results, we outline pitfalls of numerical schemes that can arise when computing collapse.     

Spherically Symmetric Cosmic Strings in Bimetric Theory

Spherically symmetric space-time is considered in bimetric theory of gravitation formulated by Rosen (Gen. Relativ. Gravit. 4:435, [1973]) in the presence of perfect fluid, massive scalar field and cosmic string. It is shown that either macro cosmological model represented by perfect fluid or cosmic string do not exist and only a vacuum model can be constructed whereas in case of a micro cosmological model represented by a scalar field exists and the model is obtained.     

Spherically Symmetric Solutions of Light Galileon

We have been studied the model of light Galileon with translational shift symmetry ? → ? + c. The matter Lagrangian is presented in the form \(\mathcal {L}_{\phi }= -\eta (\partial \phi )^{2}+\beta G^{\mu \nu }\partial _{\mu }\phi \partial _{\nu }\phi \). We have been addressed two issues: the first is that, we have been proven that, this type of Galileons belong to the modified matter-curvature models of gravity in type of \(f(R,R^{\mu \nu }T_{\mu \nu }^{m})\). Secondly, we have been investigated exact solution for spherically symmetric geometries in this model. We have been found an exact solution with singularity at r = 0 in null coordinates. We have been proven that the solution has also a non-divergence current vector norm. This solution can be considered as an special solution which has been investigated in literature before, in which the Galileon’s field is non-static (time dependence). Our scalar-shift symmetrized Galileon has the simple form of ? = t, which it is remembered by us dilaton field.     

Higher Dimensional Spherically Symmetric Gravitational Collapse

In this paper, the gravitational collapse of type I matter has been investigated in the context of higher dimensional spherically symmetric spacetime. The equation of state $P_{R}=\frac{1}{b}\rho$ with b>0 is assumed. The effects of more than four dimensions on the nature of the singularity are being discussed.     

Spherically Symmetric Space-Time with Two Cosmological Constants

We present the analytic spherically symmetric solution of the Einstein equations, which has de Sitter asymptotics for both r and r 0. This two-lambda spherically symmetric solution is globally regular. At the range of mass parameter M_cr1 < M < M_cr2 it has three horizons and describes a neutral black hole whose singularity is replaced by a cosmological constant of Planck or GUT scale, at the background of small . Global structure of space-time contains an infinite sequence of black and white holes, de Sitter-like past and future regular cores (with + at r 0) replacing singularities, asymptotically de Sitter external universes (with for r ), and spacelike infinities. In the range of mass parameter M < M_cr1 we have a one-horizon solution describing recovered selfgravitating particle-like structure at the background of small , and for M > M_cr2 another one-horizon configuration which can be called de Sitter bag. The solutions with M = M_cr1 and M = M_cr2 represent two extreme states of a neutral nonsingular cosmological black hole.     

Letter: Non Conducting Spherically Symmetric Fluids

A class of spherically symmetric spacetimes invariantly defined by a zero flux condition is examined first from a purely geometrical point of view and then physically by way of Einstein's equations for a general fluid decomposition of the energy-momentum tensor. The approach, which allows a formal inversion of Einstein's equations, explains, for example, why spherically symmetric perfect fluids with spatially homogeneous energy density must be shearfree.     

Spherically Symmetric Vacuum Brane and Wormhole Solutions

In this letter, we have obtained static, spherically symmetric solutions of the effective vacuum Einstein field equations on a brane embedded in a five dimensional space time. The effective stress tensor is induced by the interaction with the bulk gravitational field and is given by the electric part of the five dimensional Weyl tensor. Due to traceless nature of this non-local effect of the bulk, any solution of  ⁽⁴⁾ R=0 is a possible solution of the vacuum brane. We have derived a class of solutions, which corresponds to wormhole solution. Physical properties and characteristics of the wormhole are studied.     

On Spherically Symmetric Minimally Coupled Brane Worlds

For a static, spherically symmetric brane in the framework of the RS2 concept, we study the conditions under which the 4D tensor E _v, arising from the 5D Weyl tensor, vanishes on the brane. Gravity on the brane is then decoupled from the bulk geometry, it is the so-called minimally coupled brane world (MCBW). Assuming E _v =0 in the whole bulk, we try to solve the 5D Einstein equations G _AB + _5gAB =0 and obtain an overdetermined set of equations for functions of the radial coordinate. Some special solutions are found, among which are the well-known black string solution with the Schwarzschild metric on the brane and its generalizations with Schwarzschild–(A)dS on-brane metrics. It is concluded that a MCBW can be embedded, in general, in a bulk where E_v is not identically zero but only vanishes on the brane. We also present some previous results on the general properties of scalar fields on the brane and give an example of a wormhole supported by a scalar field in a MCBW.     

Self-Similar Static Spherically Symmetric Scalar Field Models

Dynamical systems techniques are used to study the class of self-similar static spherically symmetric models with two non-interacting scalar fields with exponential potentials. The global dynamics depends on the scalar self-interaction potential parameters k ₁ and k ₂. For all values of k ₁, k ₂, there always exists (a subset of) expanding massless scalar field models that are early-time attractors and (a subset of) contracting massless scalar field models that are late-time attractors. When k ₁ 1/ and k ₂ 1/ , in general the solutions evolve from an expanding massless scalar fields model and then recollapse to a contracting massless scalar fields model. When k ₁ < 1/ or k ₂ < 1/ , the solutions generically evolve away from an expanding massless scalar fields model or an expanding single scalar field model and thereafter asymptote towards a contracting massless scalar fields model or a contracting single scalar field model. It is interesting that in this case a single scalar field model can represent the early-time or late-time asymptotic dynamical state of the models. The dynamics in the physical invariant set which constitutes a part of the boundary of the five-dimensional timelike self-similar physical region are discussed in more detail.     

Unruh–DeWitt Detectors in Spherically Symmetric Dynamical Space-Times

In the present paper, Unruh–DeWitt detectors are used in order to investigate the issue of temperature associated with a spherically symmetric dynamical space-times. Firstly, we review the semi-classical tunneling method, then we introduce the Unruh–DeWitt detector approach. We show that for the generic static black hole case and the FRW de Sitter case, making use of peculiar Kodama trajectories, semiclassical and quantum field theoretic techniques give the same standard and well known thermal interpretation, with an associated temperature, corrected by appropriate Tolman factors. For a FRW space-time interpolating de Sitter space with the Einstein–de Sitter universe (that is a more realistic situation in the frame of ΛCDM cosmologies), we show that the detector response splits into a de Sitter contribution plus a fluctuating term containing no trace of Boltzmann-like factors, but rather describing the way thermal equilibrium is reached in the late time limit. As a consequence, and unlike the case of black holes, the identification of the dynamical surface gravity of a cosmological trapping horizon as an effective temperature parameter seems lost, at least for our co-moving simplified detectors. The possibility remains that a detector performing a proper motion along a Kodama trajectory may register something more, in which case the horizon surface gravity would be associated more likely to vacuum correlations than to particle creation.     

Nonlinear Landau Damping in Spherically Symmetric Vlasov Poisson Systems

The Vlasov Poisson system is a partial differential equation widely used to describe collisionless plasma. It is formulated in a six-dimensional phase space, this prohibits a numerical solution on a complete phase space grid. In some applications, however, spherical symmetry is given, which introduces singularities into the Vlasov Poisson equation. We focus on such problems and propose a stable algorithm using accommodating boundaries. At first, the method is tested in the linear regime, where analytical solutions are available. Thereafter it is applied to large disturbances from equilibrium.     

R- and T-Regions in Space-Time with Spherically Symmetric Space

The properties of solutions of Einstein's equations for spherically symmetric gravitational fields are studied. The notions of R- and T-universe regions are introduced. T-regions are shown to be regions of essential instability in the distinguished direction of the flow of time. The geometrical properties and those of the deformation of reference frames in these regions are discussed. Birkhoff's theorem for the Schwarzschild field is stated more precisely. In a T-region of this field there exists a frame of reference with the interval in the form
