Magnetic Reconnection and Energy Extraction from a Rotating Black Hole in the Einstein-AdS SU(N)-Nonlinear Sigma Model

In the present study, we analyze the power and efficiency of energy extraction via magnetic reconnection in the rotating Einstein-AdS-SU($N$)-NLSM black hole, both in the circular-orbit regime and in the plunging region. Initially, we define the background properties of this spacetime, and then analyze the physical quantities such as the size of the ergoregion, the event horizon, and the boundaries of the ergosphere. We analyze the magnetic reconnection process within circular orbits. We plot energy-extraction parameter diagrams and analyze the power and efficiency of energy extraction. Our results indicate that energy extraction remains feasible even at a spin parameter as low as $0.7$, significantly below previously reported thresholds, and the extracted power can exceed that of the Blandford-Znajek mechanism with specific constraints. The coupling constant $K$, AdS radius $l$ and the flavors number $N$, collectively participate in lowering the spin threshold for energy extraction. Consequently, we further investigate the permissible energy extraction region for the energy extraction mechanism in the plunging region, as well as the corresponding power output and efficiency. We observe that the energy extraction is possible even at a spin as low as $0.2$. Importantly, the parameters $N,~K$ and $l$ mainly contribute to lowering the energy extraction spin threshold. This behavior is similar to that in circular orbits. Finally, comparing the plunging region with the circular orbits, we observe that the energy extraction power in the plunging region is higher than in the circular orbits.

Magnetic Reconnection and Energy Extraction from a Rotating Black Hole in a Four-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet Gravity

Recently, Comisso and Asenjo proposed a new mechanism for energy extraction based on magnetic reconnection of plasma within the ergosphere. In this paper, we analyze the power and efficiency of energy extraction through magnetic reconnection in a rotating four-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity black hole. Firstly, we analyze the background properties of this spacetime and its physical quantities, including the event horizon, the boundary of the ergosphere, and the size of the ergosphere. We analyze the magnetic reconnection in circular orbits and investigate the energy extraction region, as well as the power and efficiency of energy extraction. Our results indicate that energy extraction remains feasible even for a low spin parameter of $0.4$, which is well below the previously reported threshold. We also find that the energy extraction power exceeds that of the Blandford-Znajek mechanism. The Gauss-Bonnet coupling parameters $α$ lower the spin threshold for energy extraction. Similarly, we analyze the energy extraction region in the plunging regime, together with the corresponding power and efficiency. We find that energy extraction is possible even for a low spin parameter as $0.22$. We also observe that the Gauss-Bonnet coupling parameter $α$ further lowers the spin threshold. This behavior is consistent with that observed in the circular orbit case. Finally, we compare the energy extraction power in the plunging and circular orbit regimes and find that the plunging regime yields a higher energy extraction power than the circular orbit case.

Repetitive Penrose Process in Rastall Rotating Black Holes Immersed in Quintessence Dark Energy

We investigate the repetitive Penrose process in the spacetime of a Rastall rotating black hole surrounded by a quintessence dark energy field. After reviewing the fundamental properties of the black hole geometry, we formulate the repetitive Penrose process by deriving the conservation equations governing particle splitting within the ergoregion, along with the corresponding iterative evolution equations. The physical conditions required for terminating the energy extraction iterations are established, and the minimum spin thresholds of the decay particles are analyzed to identify the critical stopping criterion. Our analysis reveals that the termination of the repetitive Penrose process is consistently governed by Particle~$0$, which possesses the highest minimum spin threshold among all decay products. Numerical results further demonstrate that the dimensionless Rastall structure parameter $\hat{N}_s$ and the Rastall coupling parameter $α$ significantly influence the evolution of the energy extraction process. At the same decay radii increasing initial values of both parameters boosts the energy utilization efficiency and energy return on investment. Specifically, smaller values of $\hat{N}_s$ enhances the energy utilization efficiency at lower decay radii, shifts the maximum extracted energy toward lower decay radii, and accelerates the depletion of the remaining extractable energy reservoir. This indicates that the repetitive Penrose process is highly favored at lower decay radii. Smaller initial values of $\hat{N}_s$ yield a larger maximum energy return on investment. Similarly, increasing $α$ enhances the energy utilization efficiency, alters the location of the peak extracted energy, and reduces the total extractable energy. But the effects of $α$ on these energetics are very small as compared to $\hat{N}_s$.
