Generalized models for black-bounce solutions in $f(R)$ Gravity

In this article, the implementation of black-bounce solutions in $f(R)$ theories is investigated. Black-bounce solutions are regular configurations of the static spherically symmetric space-time, containing both black holes and wormholes structures. In General Relativity (GR), black-bounce solution implies violation of the energy conditions. We investigate the same issue in $f(R)$ theories using two strategies: first, supposing a given form for the $f(R)$ function and then determining the matter behavior; second, imposing a condition on the matter density and obtaining the resulting $f(R)$ function. In all cases, a given structure for the metric functions is supposed. Violation of the energy conditions still occur but they are less severe than in the corresponding GR cases. We propose a zero-density model that has horizons, which differs from the GR case. We also propose a model with positive energy density and show that $ρ+p_r>0$, which was not the case in GR.

Black-bounce solution in $k$-essence theories

In the present work, we construct black-bounce configurations in the context of $k$-essence theory. The solutions have a regular metric function at the origin. The area metric function is linked to the black-bounce area initially considered by Simpson-Visser, $Σ^2=x^2+a^2$. Subsequently, the expressions for the scalar field and scalar potential corresponding to the found solutions are determined, exhibiting phantom behavior everywhere due to violation of Null Energy Condition $(NEC^ϕ)$. The Kretschmann scalar is regular throughout spacetime, and the geodesics are complete. The energy conditions are analyzed, verifying that the null $(NEC^ϕ_1)$ and dominant energy conditions $(DEC^ϕ_1)$ are violated inside and outside the event horizon. Finally, the extrinsic curvature method was applied to determine the sign of the mass on the junction surface.

Cylindrical black bounces and their field sources

We apply the Simpson-Visser phenomenological regularization method to a cylindrically symmetric solution of the Einstein-Maxwell equations known as an inverted black hole. In addition to analyzing some properties of thus regularized space-time, including the Carter-Penrose diagrams, we show that this solution can be obtained from the Einstein equations with a source combining a phantom scalar field with a nonzero self-interaction potential and a nonlinear magnetic field. A similar kind of source is obtained for the cylindrical black bounce solution proposed by Lima et al. as a regularized version of Lemos's black string solution. Such sources are shown to be possible for a certain class of cylindrically, planarly and toroidally symmetric metrics that includes the regularized solutions under consideration.

Coincident f(Q) gravity: black holes, regular black holes and black bounces

In this paper, we will use the coincident gauge to investigate new solutions of the f(Q) theory applied in the context of black holes, regular black holes, and the black-bounce spacetime. For each of these approaches, we compute the linear solutions and the solutions with the constraint that the non-metricity scalar is zero. We also analyze the geodesics of each solution to interpret whether the spacetime is extensible or not, find the Kretschmann scalar to determine the regularity along spacetime, and in the context of regular black holes and black-bounce, we calculate the energy conditions. In the latter black-bounce case we realize that the null energy condition $(NEC)$, specifically the $NEC_1=WEC_1=SEC_1\leftrightarrow ρ+p_{r}\geq 0$, is satisfied outside the event horizon.

Is it possible to distinguish between different black hole solutions using the Shapiro time delay?

In this paper we propose to use Shapiro time delay as a tool to distinguish between different black hole solutions. We calculate the analytic Shapiro time, using first-order expansions, for four solutions. They are Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordströ{}m, Bardeen, and Ayón-Beato and García. We created a numerical experiment, based on measurements made in the solar system, consisting of the round trip path of light passing through a black hole at the center. We obtained different delay times varying between the order of $10^{-4}$s and $10^{-6}$s, for a stellar black hole; and variations of the order of hours, for a supermassive one. Considering that the accuracy currently achieved in measurements made in the solar system are on the order of $10^{-12}$s, we believe that this mechanism could be used in black hole model determination in the near future.

Source of black bounces in general relativity

Black bounces are spacetimes that can describe, depending on certain parameters, black holes or wormholes. In this work, we use a method to obtain the matter content that generates black bounce solutions in general relativity. The method is constructed in a general way, and as models, we apply it to the Simpson--Visser black bounce solution and the Bardeen-type black bounce solution. We obtain that these metrics are solutions of Einstein's equations when we consider the coupling of the gravitational interaction with a phantom scalar field with a nonlinear electrodynamics. The presence of the phantom scalar field is linked to the fact that this type of solution violates the null energy condition. We analyze separately the energy conditions associated with the stress-energy tensor for the scalar field and for the electromagnetic field.

Bardeen solution with a cloud of strings

In this paper we present a Bardeen solution surrounded by a cloud of strings fluid. We show how this model has the same event horizon characteristic as the Bardeen solution, however, the parameter of the strings make the solution singular at the origin. We also analyze the solution from a thermodynamic point of view. We calculate the system's state function, enthalpy; the temperature; and the other potentials; as a function of entropy. By analyzing the thermodynamic coefficients, we show that the solution presents three distinct phases, two of which are stable and one unstable. These three phases could be best visualized using a plot of Gibbs free energy versus temperature. In the end, we calculate the critical exponents and find that they are the same as those found in Van der Walls theory.

Embedding regular black holes and black bounces in a cloud of strings

A string is the one-dimensional generalization of a point particle. In this sense, the analog of a cloud of dust would be a cloud of strings. In this work, we consider a cloud of strings around a regular solution in general gelativity. We consider the Bardeen solution and the Simpson--Visser solution, analyzing the consequences of the cloud in the regularity and in the energy conditions. Actually, the presence of the cloud could make the energy density positive when compared to the Simpson--Visser case. We verify that the usual Bardeen solution becomes singular in the presence of the cloud of string while the Simpson--Visser solution is still regular, violating the energy conditions, as the usual solution. We also calculate some thermodynamic quantities to evaluate how a cloud of strings influences the thermodynamics of the solutions.

Bardeen-Kiselev black hole with cosmological constant

In this work we analyze a solution that mimics the Bardeen solution with a cosmological constant surrounded by quintessence. We show that this solution can be obtained by Einstein equations coupled with nonlinear electrodynamics. We also show that the solution is not always regular and what the conditions for regularity are. We analyze the thermodynamics associated with this type of solution by establishing the form of the Smarr formula and the first law of thermodynamics. We obtain some thermodynamic quantities such as pressure, temperature, heat capacity and isothermal compressibility. Once we have these thermodynamic quantities, we check if this solution has phase transitions and how it behaves at the points where the transitions occur. For some values of the parameters, we find that the solution exhibits a first-order phase transition, like a van der Waals fluid.

Black-Bounce in $f(T)$ Gravity

We study new solutions of black bounce spacetimes formulated in $f(T)$ gravity in four dimensions. First, we present the case of a diagonal tetrad, where a constraint arises in the equations of motion, which is divided into the cases of null torsion, constant torsion, and Teleparallel. The Null Energy Condition (NEC) is still always violated, which implies that the other energy conditions are violated. The solutions are regular in all spacetime and the solution with null torsion exhibits discontinuity between the energy conditions outside and inside the event horizon. Second, we present the case of non-diagonal tetrads. This case is divided into a Simpson-Visser type model and a quadratic model. The NEC continues to be violated, implying a violation of the other energy conditions. The solutions are regular in all spacetimes. An interesting result is that due to the possibility that the area associated with the metric is different from $4πr^2$, the no-go theorem established in the usual $f(T)$ is violated, appearing the new possibility $g_{00}=-g^{11}$, for the components of the metric.

Novel black-bounce spacetimes: wormholes, regularity, energy conditions, and causal structure

We develop a number of novel "black-bounce" spacetimes. These are specific regular black holes where the "area radius" always remains non-zero, thereby leading to a "throat" that is either timelike (corresponding to a traversable wormhole), spacelike (corresponding to a "bounce" into a future universe), or null (corresponding to a "one-way wormhole"). We shall first perform a general analysis of the regularity conditions for such a spacetime, and then consider a number of specific examples. The examples are constructed using a mass function similar to that of Fan--Wang, and fall into several particular cases, such as the original Simpson--Visser model, a Bardeen-type model, and other generalizations thereof. We shall analyse the regularity, the energy conditions, and the causal structure of these models. The main results are several new geometries, more complex than before, with two or more horizons, with the possibility of an extremal case. We shall derive a general theorem regarding static space-time regularity, and another general theorem regarding (non)-satisfaction of the classical energy conditions.

Using Mathematica software to solve ordinary differential equations and applying it to the graphical representation of trajectories

We discuss the great importance of using mathematical software in solving problems in today's society. In particular, we show how to use Mathematica software to solve ordinary differential equations exactly and numerically. We also show how to represent these solutions graphically. We treat the particular case of a charged particle subject to an oscillating electric field in the xy plane and a constant magnetic field. We show how to construct the equations of motion, defined by the vectors position, velocity, electric and magnetic fields. We show how to solve these equations of Lorentz force, and graphically represent the possible trajectories. We end by showing how to build a video simulation for an oscillating electric field trajectory particle case.

Regular multihorizon black holes in General Relativity

In this work, new solutions for regular black holes that have multihorizons are proposed. These are formed by the direct product of solutions already published in the literature, which are described through the coupling of gravity with nonlinear electrodynamics. We analyze the regularity of the spacetime, the electric field, and the energy conditions of each solution. The strong energy condition is always violated within the event horizon in all solutions, while other energy conditions depend on the ratio between extreme charges of isolated solutions. For solutions with four horizons, we present two examples, Bardeen-Culetu and Balart-Culetu. Both solutions are regular, but the first do not satisfy all the energy conditions, except the strong, because it has an extreme charge ratio of 1.57581, great value. The second solution, on the other hand, can satisfy all other energy conditions, except the SEC, and has an extreme charge ratio of 1.09915, a value that allows this feature. It's also proposed a regular solution with up to six horizons, Balart-Culetu-Dymnikova, where, for a given charge value, we can verify that it satisfies all energy conditions, except the strong one. This was possible due to the ratio between extreme charges that are neither too high nor too close. We propose solutions with any number of horizons. We show that points where $-F(r)$ has a non null minimum represent a cusp in the Lagrangian $-L(F)$. We also show an example of multihorizon solution with magnetic charge. Multihorizon solutions may exhibit exotic properties, such as negative energy density, or violation of energy conditions, but which can be circumvented with a selected choice of customized solutions and extreme charge values, resulting in regular black hole solutions that satisfy all energy conditions, less the strong.

Regular Black Holes in Rainbow Gravity

In this work, we consider that in energy scales greater than the Planck energy, the geometry, fundamental physical constants, as charge, mass, speed of light and Newtonian constant of gravitation, and matter fields will depend on the scale. This type of theory is known as Rainbow Gravity. We coupled the nonlinear electrodynamics to the Rainbow Gravity, defining a new mass function $M(r,ε)$, such that we may formulate new classes of spherically symmetric regular black hole solutions, where the curvature invariants are well-behaved in all spacetime. The main differences between the General Relativity and our results in the the Rainbow gravity are: a) The intensity of the electric field is inversely proportional to the energy scale. The higher the energy scale, the lower the electric field intensity; b) the region where the strong energy condition (SEC) is violated decrease as the energy scale increase. The higher the energy scale, closer to the radial coordinate origin SEC is violated.

Regular multihorizon black holes in $f(G)$ gravity with nonlinear electrodynamics

In this work, we study the existence of regular black holes solutions with multihorizons in general relativity and in some alternative theories of gravity. We consider the coupling between the gravitational theory and nonlinear electrodynamics. The coupling generates modifications in the electromagnetic sector. This paper has as main objective generalize solutions already known from general relativity to the $f(G)$ theory. To do that, we first correct some misprints of the Odintsov and Nojiri's work in order to introduce the formalism that will be used in the $f(G)$ gravity. In order to satisfy all field equations, the method to find solutions in alternative theories generates different $f(R)$ and $f(G)$ functions for each solution, where only the nonlinear term of $f(G)$ contributes to the field equations. We also analyze the energy conditions, since it is expected that some must be violated to find regular black holes, and using an auxiliary field, we analyze the nonlinearity of the electromagnetic theory.

Regular black holes in $f(G)$ gravity

In this work, we study the possibility of generalizing solutions of regular black holes with an electric charge, constructed in general relativity, for the $f(G)$ theory, where $G$ is the Gauss-Bonnet invariant. This type of solution arises due to the coupling between gravitational theory and nonlinear electrodynamics. We construct the formalism in terms of a mass function and it results in different gravitational and electromagnetic theories for which mass function. The electric field of these solutions are always regular and the strong energy condition is violated in some region inside the event horizon. For some solutions, we get an analytical form for the $f(G)$ function. Imposing the limit of some constant going to zero in the $f(G)$ function we recovered the linear case, making the general relativity a particular case.

Using Dominant and Weak Energy Conditions for build New Classes of Regular Black Holes

We study the generalization of the mass function of classes of regular spherically symmetric black holes solutions of in $ 4D $ coming from the coupling of General Relativity with Non-linear Electrodynamics, through the requirement of the energy conditions. Imposing that the solution must be regular and that the Weak and Dominant Energy Conditions are simultaneously satisfied, for models with the symmetry $T^0_{\;\;0} = T^1_{\;\;1} $ of the tensor energy-momentum, we construct a new general class of regular black holes of which two cases are asymptotically Reissner-Nordstrom.

Bardeen Regular Black Hole With an Electric Source

If some energy conditions on the stress-energy tensor are violated, is possible construct regular black holes in General Relativity and in alternative theories of gravity. This type of solution has horizons but does not present singularities. The first regular black hole was presented by Bardeen and can be obtained from Einstein equations in the presence of an electromagnetic field. E. Ayon-Beato and A. Garcia reinterpreted the Bardeen metric as a magnetic solution of General Relativity coupled to a nonlinear electrodynamics. In this work show that the Bardeen model may also be interpreted as a solutions of Einstein equations in the presence of a electric source, whose electric field does not behaves as a Coulomb field. We analyzed the asymptotic forms of the Lagrangian for the electric case and also analyzed the energy conditions.
