Nonlinear electrodynamics in Kerr-Newman-NUT-$Λ$ spacetime: exact solutions, horizons, and energy conditions

We construct two exact nonlinear-electrodynamic generalizations of the Kerr-Newman-NUT-$Λ$ spacetime. Imposing alignment between the principal directions of the electromagnetic field and the metric tetrad reduces the Maxwell-Faraday sector to a pair of potentials constrained by a single integrability condition, the key equation. Within the polynomial aligned ansatz considered here, the key equation selects two admissible families, corresponding to electromagnetic potentials that are cubic and quartic polynomials. For each family the Einstein equations reduce to a single radial ordinary differential equation that gives a deformation of the Kerr-like radial metric function which is exactly solved. We derive the corresponding metrics, electromagnetic fields, stress tensors, horizon structure, and we analyze the associated energy conditions. The nonlinear sector breaks conformal invariance and, in the cubic family, can mimic an effective cosmological contribution. The explicit Lagrangians as functions of the electromagnetic invariants are obtained in selected static subsectors. The curvature invariants show that the nonlinear contribution does not remove the Kerr-like curvature singularity, while the solutions present the NUT axial conical singularity.

Shadow of a noncommutative inspired Einstein-Euler-Heisenberg black hole

Using a noncommutative inspired Einstein-Euler-Heisenberg black hole, we analyse the associated graviton and light rings that together with the event horizon, provide the necessary components to build its shadow. An analysis of the angular radius of the noncommutative inspired Einstein-Euler-Heisenberg black hole shows that for observers located in its vicinity, it becomes smaller when compared with the commutative case; this effect is more noticeable as noncommutativity increases. The existence of marginally stable bound orbits and the critical angle for the escaping of photons of a noncommutative inspired Einstein-Euler-Heisenberg star is also discussed.

On slowly rotating black holes and nonlinear electrodynamics

We discuss the solution to Einstein's equations for a Lense-Thirring inspired metric describing a slowly rotating black hole coupled to nonlinear electrodynamics. We show that different schemes of rotation for the black hole exist; they depend on a parameter $γ$ defining the dependence of the metric on the polar angle. The fulfilment of the complete set of gravitational field equations and conservation laws implies constraints on this parameter and the metric functions. The vanishing of $γ$ provides the Lense-Thirring line element associated to any non-linear electrodynamics; the Kerr-Newman metric for slow rotation arises when $γ$ is not vanishing, a feature that emphasises the unique role played by Maxwell's electrodynamics.

Non-commutative inspired black holes in Euler-Heisenberg non-linear electrodynamics

We find non-commutative inspired electrically and magnetically charged black hole solutions in Euler-Heisenberg non-linear electrodynamics. For these solutions, we determine the non-commutative corrections to the horizon radius for the general and extremal case. We also analyse the weak, dominant and strong energy conditions and the shadow associated with these metrics.

Bose-Einstein Condensates in Charged Black-Hole Spacetimes

We analyze Bose-Einstein condensates on three types of spherically symmetric and static charged black-hole spacetimes: The Reissner-Nordström spacetime, Hoffmann's Born-Infeld black-hole spacetime, and the regular Ayón-Beato-García spacetime. The Bose-Einstein condensate is modeled in terms of a massive scalar field that satisfies a Klein-Gordon equation with a self-interaction term. The scalar field is assumed to be uncharged and not self-gravitating. If the mass parameter of the scalar field is chosen sufficiently small, there are quasi-bound states of the scalar field that may be interpreted as dark matter clouds. We estimate the size and the total energy of such clouds around charged supermassive black holes and we investigate if their observable features can be used for discriminating between the different types of charged black holes.

Scalar field as a Bose-Einstein condensate in a Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime

In this paper we analyze some properties of a scalar field configuration, where it is considered as a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate in a Schwarzschild-de Sitter background spacetime. In a natural way, the geometry of the curved spacetime provides an effective trapping potential for the scalar field configuration. This allows us to explore some thermodynamical properties of the system. Additionally, the curved geometry of the spacetime also induces a position dependent self-interaction parameter, which can be interpreted as a kind of gravitational Feshbach resonance, that could affect the stability of the cloud and could be used to obtain information about the interactions among the components of the system..

Motion of test particles in a regular black hole space--time

We consider the motion of test particles in the regular black hole space-time given by Ayón-Beato and Garc\'ıa in Phys. Rev. Lett. 80:5056 (1998). The complete set of orbits for neutral and weakly charged test particles is discussed, including for neutral particles the extreme and over-extreme metric. We also derive the analytical solutions for the equation of motion of neutral test particles in a parametric form and consider a post-Schwarzschild expansion of the periastron shift to second order in the charge.

Scalar Field as a Bose-Einstein Condensate?

We discuss the analogy between a classical scalar field with a self-interacting potential, in a curved spacetime described by a quasi--bounded state, and a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate. In this context, we compare the Klein-Gordon equation with the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Moreover, the introduction of a curved background spacetime endows, in a natural way, an equivalence to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with an explicit confinement potential. The curvature also induces a position dependent self-interaction parameter. We exploit this analogy by means of the Thomas-Fermi approximation, commonly used to describe the Bose-Einstein condensate, in order to analyze the quasi bound scalar field distribution surrounding a black hole.

On naked singularities in the extreme double Reissner-Nordström solution

We present a quite simple analytical study on the appearance or absence of naked singularities in binary systems. As an example we consider the double Reissner-Nordström solution and fix the conditions it should satisfy in order to avoid or develop singular surfaces off the axis. The proof shows that singular surfaces appear as a consequence of the presence of negative masses in the solution.

Exact solution for a binary system of unequal counter-rotating black holes

A complete solution describing a binary system constituted by two unequal counter-rotating black holes with a massless strut inbetween is presented. It is expressed in terms of four arbitrary parameters: the half length of the two rods representing the black hole horizons sigma1 and sigma2, the total mass M, and the relative distance R between the centers of the horizons. The explicit form of this solution in terms of physical parameters, i.e., the Komar masses M1 and M2, the Komar angular momenta per unit mass a1 and a2, having a1 and a2 opposite signs, and the coordinate distance R, led us to a 4-parameter subclass of solutions in which a set of five physical parameters satisfy a simple algebraic relation. Moreover, the interaction force, provided by the strut, between the black holes results to be of same form as it is for the static double-Schwarzschild case.

Opposite charged two-body system of identical counter-rotating black holes

A 4-parametric exact solution describing a two-body system of identical Kerr-Newman counter-rotating black holes endowed with opposite electric/magnetic charges is presented. The axis conditions are solved in order to really describe two black holes separated by a massless strut. Moreover, the explicit form of the horizon half length parameter sigma in terms of physical Komar parameters, i.e., the Komar mass M, electric charge QE, angular momentum J, and a coordinate distance R is derived. Additionally, magnetic charges QB arise from the rotation of electrically charged black holes. As a consequence, in order to account for the contribution to the mass of the magnetic charge, the usual Smarr mass formula should be generalized, as it is proposed by A. Tomimatsu, Prog. Theor. Phys. 72, 73 (1984).

Generalized black diholes

A 5-parametric exact solution, describing a binary system composed of identical counter-rotating black holes endowed with opposite electromagnetic charges, is constructed. The addition of the angular momentum parameter to the static Emparan-Teo dihole model introduces magnetic charges into this two-body system. The solution can be considered as an extended model for describing generalized black diholes as dyons. We derive the explicit functional form of the horizon half-length parameter $σ$ as a function of the Komar parameters: Komar mass $M$, electric/magnetic charge $Q_{E }/ Q_{B}$, angular momentum $J$, and a coordinate distance $R$, where the parameters $(M, J, Q_E, Q_B, R)$ characterize the upper constituent of the system, while $(M, -J, -Q_E, -Q_B, R)$ are associated with the lower one. The addition of magnetic charges enhances the standard Smarr mass formula in order to take into account their contribution to the mass. The solution contains, as particular cases, two solutions already discussed in the literature.

Static Black Holes of Metric-Affine Gravity in the Presence of Matter

We investigate spherically symmetric and static gravitational fields representing black hole configurations in the framework of metric-affine gauge theories of gravity (MAG) in the presence of different matter fields. It is shown that in the triplet ansatz sector of MAG, black hole configurations in the presence of non-Abelian matter fields allow the existence of black hole hair. We analyze several cases of matter fields characterized by the presence of hair and for all of them we show the validity of the no short hair conjecture.

Note on Scalar Fields Non-Minimally Coupled to (2+1)-Gravity

Scalar fields non--minimally coupled to (2+1)-gravity, in the presence of cosmological constant term, are considered. Non-minimal couplings are described by the term $ζR Ψ^2$ in the Lagrangian. Within a class of static circularly symmetric space-times, it is shown that the only existing physically relevant solutions are the anti-de Sitter space-time for $ζ=0$, and the Martinez-Zanelli black hole for $ζ=1/8$. We obtain also two new solutions with non-trivial scalar field, for $ζ=1/6$ and $ζ=1/8$ respectively, nevertheless, the corresponding space-times can be reduced, via coordinate transformations, to the standard anti-de Sitter space.

Uniqueness theorems for static black holes in metric-affine gravity

Using the equivalence theorem for the triplet ansatz sector of metric-affine gravity (MAG) theories and the Einstein-Proca system, it is shown that the only static black hole of the triplet sector of MAG is the Schwarzschild solution, under the constraint (-4β_4 + k_1β_5/2k_0 + k_2γ_4/k_0)/κz_4 \neq 0 on the coupling constants. For the special case (-4β_4 + k_1β_5/2k_0 + k_2γ_4/k_0)/κz_4 = 0, it follows that the only static non-extremal black hole is the Reissner-Nordström one. The results can be extended to exclude also the existence of soliton solutions of the triplet sector of MAG.

Generalized Reissner-Nordström solution in Metric-Affine Gravity

We present the generalized Reissner-Nordström solution of the field equations of metric-affine gravity (MAG), endowed with electric and magnetic charges, as well as with gravito-electric and gravito-magnetic charges and a cosmological constant term. Moreover, the case $M=e_o$, i.e. mass equal to electric charge and $λ=0$, corresponds to an electrically and magnetically charged monopole. Also further multipole solutions are obtained. The charge assignments of the solutions is discussed.

Multipole solutions in metric--affine gravity

Above Planck energies, the spacetime might become non--Riemannian, as it is known fron string theory and inflation. Then geometries arise in which nonmetricity and torsion appear as field strengths, side by side with curvature. By gauging the affine group, a metric affine gauge theory emerges as dynamical framework. Here, by using the harmonic map ansatz, a new class of multipole like solutions in the metric affine gravity theory (MAG) is obtained.

Volume elements of spacetime and a quartet of scalar fields

Starting with a `bare' 4-dimensional differential manifold as a model of spacetime, we discuss the options one has for defining a volume element which can be used for physical theories. We show that one has to prescribe a scalar density σ. Whereas conventionally \sqrt{|\det g_{ij}|} is used for that purpose, with g_{ij} as the components of the metric, we point out other possibilities, namely σas a `dilaton' field or as a derived quantity from either a linear connection or a quartet of scalar fields, as suggested by Guendelman and Kaganovich.
