Using a resonance nonlinear Schrodinger equation as a bridge,we explore a direct connection of cold plasma physics to two-dimensional black holes.Namely,we compute and diagonalize a metric attached to the propagation of magneto-acoustic waves in a cold plasma subject to a transverse magnetic field,and we construct an explicit change of variables by which this metric is transformed exactly to a Jackiw-Teitelbiom black hole metric.
We present a new family of solutions for the Jackiw-Teitelboim model of two-dimensional gravity with a negative cosmological constant. Here, a metric of constant Ricci scalar curvature is constructed, and explicit linearly independent solutions of the corresponding dilaton field equations are determined. The metric is transformed to a black hole metric, and the dilaton solutions are expressed in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions. Using these solutions we compute, for example, Killing vectors for the metric.
This paper continues earlier work where an explicit parametrized solution of a particular nonlinear ordinary differential equation was obtained in terms of the Weierstrass elliptic phi-function, sigma function and zeta function -- work which therefore generalized that of G. Lemaitre. Further study of this solution and applications to cosmology are presented.
We obtain in terms of the Weierstrass elliptic $\wp-$function, sigma function, and zeta function an explicit parametrized solution of a particular nonlinear, ordinary differential equation. This equation includes, in special cases, equations that occur in the study of both homogeneous and inhomogeneous cosmological models, and also in the dynamic Bose-Einstein condensates - cosmology correspondence, for example.
We find linearly independent solutions of the Goncharov-Firsova equation in the case of a massive complex scalar field on a Kerr black hole. The solutions generalize, in some sense, the classical monopole spherical harmonic solutions previously studied in the massless cases.
In some interesting work of James Lidsey, the dynamics of Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) cosmology with positive curvature and a perfect fluid matter source is shown to be modeled in terms of a time-dependent, harmonically trapped Bose-Einstein condensate. In the present work, we extend this dynamic correspondence to both FLRW and Bianchi I cosmologies in arbitrary dimension, especially when a cosmological constant is present.
We show that the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker equations with scalar field and perfect fluid matter source are equivalent to a suitable non-linear Schrodinger type equation. This provides for an alternate method of obtaining exact solutions of the Einstein field equations for a homogeneous, isotropic universe.
We construct an explicit map that transforms static, generalized sine-Gordon metrics to black hole type metrics. This, in particular, provides for a further description of the Cadoni correspondence (which extends the Gegenberg-Kunstatter correspondence) of soliton solutions and extremal black hole solutions in 2D dilaton gravity.
Another connection of harmonic maps to gravity is presented. Using 1-soliton and anti-soliton solutions of the sine-Gordon equation, we construct a pair of harmonic maps that we express in terms of a particular dilaton field in Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. This field satisfies a linearized sine-Gordon equation. We use it also to construct an explicit transformation that relates the corresponding solitonic metric to a two dimensional black hole metric.
