Non-Schwarzschild black holes sourced by scalar-vector fields

In a scalar-vector-gravity theory with the vector sector described by nonlinear electrodynamics, the field equations are integrated using the well-known gravitational decoupling method. The resulting spacetime corresponds to a spherically symmetric and static non-Schwarzschild black hole. Employing the master equations for both even and odd parity modes, it is proven that the solution is stable under certain conditions satisfied by the scalar and vector field parameters. To further corroborate the theoretical feasibility of this toy model, the causal structure, geodesic motion for massive particles, and some thermodynamic features are analyzed in detail.

On the red--shift emission from the black hole horizons replicas

We examine the red-shift emission from special orbits (horizons replicas) where photons have the same angular velocity, in magnitude, as those of the Kerr black hole (BH) Killing horizons. We focus on two particular contexts of special significance for their observational implications. A set of these orbits is located in the BH photons shell. Therefore the analysis also connects the red-shifting or blue-shifting from replicas (defined through the BH light surfaces) to the BH shadow boundaries. We then concentrate on the equatorial, general relativistic, axially symmetric accretion disks, orbiting around the central attractor. In the analysis we adopted in particular the Polish doughnut models of geometrically thick toroids, to investigate the signals frequency-shifting from the horizons replica as related to the disks surface, inner edge and accretion flows. The findings map the red-shifting and blue-shifting regions of the signals in dependence to the photons impact parameter, view-angle, angular velocity of the emitter and BH spin. Co-rotating and counter-rotating replica could be identified through the red-shifting or blue-shifting of the emitted signals from the mapped regions.

Inter--disks inversion surfaces

We consider a counter--rotating torus orbiting a central Kerr black hole (\textbf{BH}) with dimensionless spin $a$, and its accretion flow into the \textbf{BH}, in an agglomerate of an outer counter--rotating torus and an inner co--rotating torus. This work focus is the analysis of the inter--disks inversion surfaces. Inversion surfaces are spacetime surfaces, defined by the condition $u^ϕ=0$ on the flow torodial velocity, located out of the \textbf{BH} ergoregion, and totally embedding the \textbf{BH}. They emerge as a necessary condition, related to the spacetime frame--dragging, for the counter--rotating flows into the central Kerr \textbf{BH}. In our analysis we study the inversion surfaces of the Kerr spacetimes for the counter--rotating flow from the outer torus, impacting on the inner co--rotating disk. Being totally or partially embedded in (internal to) the inversion surfaces, the inner co--rotating torus (or jet) could be totally or in part ``shielded", respectively, from the impact with flow with $a u^ϕ<0$. We prove that, in general, in the spacetimes with $a<0.551$ the co--rotating toroids are always external to the accretion flows inversion surfaces. For $0.551 0.886$, a co--rotating torus could be entirely embedded in the inversion surface and, for larger spins, it is internal to the inversion surfaces. Tori orbiting in the \textbf{BH} outer ergoregion are a particular case. Further constraints on the \textbf{BHs} spins are discussed in the article.

On photons and matter inversion spheres from complex super-spinars accretion structures

Our analysis focus on the dragging effects on the accretion flows and jet emission in Kerr super-spinars. These attractors are characterized by peculiar accretion structures as double tori, or special dragged tori in the ergoregion, produced by the balance of the hydrodynamic and centrifugal forces and also effects of super-spinars repulsive gravity. We investigate the accretion flows, constituted by particles and photons, from toroids orbiting a central Kerr super-spinar. As results of our analysis, in both accretion and jet flows, properties characterizing these geometries, that constitute possible strong observational signatures or these attractors, are highlighted. We found that the flow is characterized by closed surfaces, defining inversion coronas (spherical shell), with null the particles flow toroidal velocity ($u^ϕ=0$) embedding the central singularity. We proved that this region distinguishes proto-jets and accretion driven flows, co-rotating and counter-rotating flows. Therefore in both cases the flow carries information about the accretion structures around the central attractor, demonstrating that inversion points can constitute an observational aspect capable of distinguishing the super-spinars.

Inversion points of the accretion flows onto super-spinning Kerr attractors

We study the accretion flows towards a central Kerr super-spinning attractor, discussing the formation of the flow inversion points, defined by condition $u^ϕ=0$ on the particles flow axial velocity. We locate two closed surfaces, defining \emph{inversion coronas} (spherical shells), surrounding the central attractor. The coronas analysis highlights observational aspects distinguishing the central attractors and providing indications on their spin and the orbiting fluids. The inversion corona is a closed region, generally of small extension and thickness, which is for the counter-rotating flows of the order of $\lesssim 1.4 M$ (central attractor mass) on the vertical rotational axis. There are no co-rotating inversion points (from co-rotating flows). The results point to strong signatures of the Kerr super-spinars, provided in both accretion and jet flows. With very narrow thickness, and varying little with the fluid initial conditions and the emission process details, inversion coronas can have remarkable observational significance for primordial Kerr super-spinars predicted by string theory. The corona region closest to the central attractor is the most observably recognizable and active part, distinguishing black holes solutions from super-spinars. Our analysis expounds the Lense--Thirring effects and repulsive gravity effects in the super-spinning ergoregions.

Quasinormal modes of renormalization group improved Dymnikova regular black holes

We find accurate quasinormal frequencies of a quantum corrected black hole constructed in the renormalization group theory via the coordinate-independent iterative procedure, leading to the Dymnikova regular black hole. We show that while the fundamental mode is only slightly affected by the quantum correction, the overtones change at a much stronger rate. This outburst of overtones occurs because of the deformation of the geometry of the Schwarzschild black hole solely near the event horizon. For finding accurate values of overtones we developed a general procedure allowing one to use the Leaver method to metrics which, initially, are not expressed in terms of rational functions.

Quasinormal ringing of regular black holes in asymptotically safe gravity: the importance of overtones

Asymptotically safe gravity is based on the idea that the main contribution to the Schwarzschild-like black hole spacetime is due to the value of the gravitational coupling which depends on the distance from the origin and approaches its classical value in the far zone. However, at some stage this approach has an arbitrariness of choice of some identification parameter. The two cases of identification are considered here: first, by the modified proper length (the Bonanno-Reuter metric), and second, by the Kretschmann scalar (the metric for this case coincides, up to the redefinition of constants, with the Hayward metric). Even though the quasinormal modes of these metrics have been extensively studied, a number of interesting points were missed. We have found that quasinormal modes are qualitatively similar for both types of identification. The deviation of the fundamental mode from its Schwarzschild limit may be a few times larger than it was claimed in the previous studies. The striking deviation from the Schwarzschild limit occurs for overtones, being as large as hundreds of percent even when the fundamental mode is almost coinciding with the Schwarzschild one. This happens because the above metrics are very close to the Schwarzschild one everywhere, except a small region near the event horizon, which is crucial for overtones. The spectrum of both metrics contains purely imaginary (non-oscillatory) modes, which, for some values of parameters, can appear already at the second overtone.

Lense-Thirring effect on accretion flow from counter-rotating tori

We study the accretion flow from a counter-rotating torus orbiting a central Kerr black hole (BH). We characterize the flow properties at the turning point of the accreting matter flow from the orbiting torus, defined by the condition $u^ϕ= 0$ on the flow torodial velocity. The counter-rotating accretion flow and jet-like flow turning point location along BH rotational axis is given. Some properties of the counter-rotating flow thickness and counter-rotating tori energetics are studied.The maximum amount of matter swallowed by the BH from the counter-rotating tori is determined by the background properties. The fast spinning BH energetics depends mostly on BH spin rather than on the properties of the counter-rotating fluids or the tori masses. The turning point is located in a narrow orbital corona (spherical shell), for photons and matter flow constituents, surrounding the BH stationary limit (outer ergosurface), depending on the BH spin-mass ratio and the fluid initial momentum only. The turning corona for jet-like-flow has larger thickness, it is separated from the torus flow turning corona and it is closer to the BH stationary limit. Turning points of matter accreting from torus and from jets are independent explicitly of the details of the accretion and tori model. The turning corona could be observable due to an increase of flow luminosity and temperature. The corona is larger on the BH equatorial plane, where it is the farthest from the central attractor, and narrower on the BH poles.

Energy exchange between relativistic fluids: the polytropic case

We present a simple, analytic and straightforward method to elucidate the effects produced by polytropic fluids on any other gravitational source, no matter its nature, for static and spherically symmetric spacetimes. As a direct application, we study the interaction between polytropes and perfect fluids coexisting inside a self-gravitating stellar object

Wormholes without exotic matter: quasinormal modes, echoes and shadows

An analytical solution representing traversable asymptotically flat and symmetric wormholes was obtained without adding exotic matter in two different theories independently: in the Einstein-Maxwell-Dirac theory and in the second Randall-Sundrum brane-world model. Further, a smooth normalizable asymmetric wormhole solution has been recently obtained numerically in the Einstein-Maxwell-Dirac theory. Using the time-domain integration method we study quasinormal ringing of all these wormholes with emphasis to the regime of mimicking the near extremal Reissner-Nordström black holes, which is characterised by echoes. In addition, we calculate radius of shadows cast by these wormholes.

Quasinormal modes and Hawking radiation of black holes in cubic gravity

We consider quasinormal modes and Hawking radiation of four-dimensional asymptotically flat black holes in the most general up to-cubic-order-in-curvature dimension-independent Einsteinian theory of gravity that shares its graviton spectrum with the Einstein theory on constant curvature backgrounds. We show that damping rate and real oscillation frequencies of quasinormal modes for scalar, electromagnetic and Dirac fields are suppressed once the coupling with the cubic term is on. The intensity of Hawking radiation is suppressed as well, leading to, roughly, one order longer lifetime at a sufficiently large coupling constant.

General relativistic rotational energy extraction from black holes-accretion disk systems

We constrain the BHs spin with the evaluation of the dimensionless parameter ξ, the total rotational energy extracted versus the BH mass. The energy extraction can power an outflow which can be then observed. We relate the energy extraction to the accreting configurations and the accretion processes occurring in a cluster of corotating and counter-rotating tori orbiting one central Kerr SMBH, associating ξto the accretion processes characteristics. We relate the regions of tori parameters to the energy extraction processes, binding ξto properties of light surfaces by using the bundles, relating measures in different regions of the spacetimes. We evaluate properties of the BH accretions disks, and correlate spacetimes prior and after their transition due to the energy extraction. Light surfaces are related to the generators of Killing horizons, proving limiting frequency of the stationary observers of the geometries. We consider the photon limiting curves of the stationary observers as constraints for various processes regulated by these frequencies, to relate different BH states, prior and after the energy extraction, investigating regions close to the BH horizons and rotational axis. From methodological view-point we used a naked singularity -BH correspondence defined with metric bundles to predict the BH--accretion disk system observational characteristics. The analysis points relevant BH spins a\approx0.94M, a\approx 0.7M and a\approx0.3M. We show the relation between the rotational law of the tori, the bundle characteristic frequency and the relativistic velocity defining the von Zeipel surfaces. The inferior limit on the formation of corotating is \ell/a\geq2, for counter-rotating tori \ell/a\leq -22/5 (\ell is the fluids specific angular momentum).

Jet collision with accreting tori around SMBHs. GRHD and light surfaces constraints in aggregates of misaligned tori

We explore the possibility of jet collisions with accreting tori orbiting around SMBHs. The analysis provides constraints on formation and the observational evidences of the host configurations. We use a GRHD model, investigating the light surfaces contraints in aggregates of misaligned tori orbiting a central static Schwarzschild black hole. Each (toroidal) configuration of the agglomeration is a geometrically thick, pressure supported, perfect fluid torus. Aggregates include proto-jets, the open cusped solutions associated to the geometrically thick tori. Collision emergence and the stability properties of the aggregates are considered at different inclination angles relative to a fixed distant observer. We relate the constraints to the relevant frequencies of the configurations and fluid specific angular momentum, separating the constraints related to the fluids hydrodynamics and to the geometric backgrounds. We analyze existence of accreting tori supporting jet-emission. We discuss the existence of orbit-replicas that could host shadowing effects in replicas of the emissions in two regions, close and far from the BH (horizon replicas in jet shells). The investigation clarifies the role of the pressure gradients of the orbiting matter and the essential role of the radial gradient of the pressure in the determination of the disk verticality. Finally we analyze the possibility that a toroidal magnetic field could be related to the collimation of proto-jets.

Kerr-de Sitter Black Hole Revisited

We interpret the cosmological constant as the energy of the vacuum, and under a minimum amount of assumptions, we show that it is deformed in the vicinity of a black hole. This leads us to reexamine the Kerr-de Sitter solution. We provide a new solution, simpler and geometrically richer, which shows the impact of the rotation in form of a warped curvature. We carry out a detailed and exact study on the new black hole solution, and we conclude with a conjecture regarding the possible impact of our results on alternative theories.

Embedded BHs and multipole globules: Clustered misaligned thick accretion disks around static SMBHs

We investigate clusters of misaligned (inclined) tori orbiting a central static Schwarzschild black hole. To this purpose we considered a set of geometrically thick, pressure supported, perfect fluid tori analyzing purely hydrodynamic models. We study the tori collision emergence and, consequently, the stability properties of the aggregates composed by tori with different inclination angles relative to a fixed distant observer. The aggregate of tilted tori is modeled as a single orbiting configuration, by introducing a leading function governing the distribution of toroids around the black hole attractor. Eventually the tori agglomerate can be seen, depending on the tori thickness, as a (multipole) gobules of orbiting matter, with different toroidal spin orientations , covering the embedded central black hole. These systems are shown to include tori with emerging instability phase related to accretion onto the central black hole. Therefore we provide an evaluation of quantities related to tori energetics such as the mass-flux, the enthalpy-flux, and the flux thickness depending on the model parameters for polytropic fluids. Consequently this analysis places constraints on the existence and properties of tilted tori and aggregate of misaligned disks. Some notes are included on aggregates including proto-jets, represented by open cusped solutions associated to the geometrically thick tori.

Quasinormal modes of black holes in 5D Gauss-Bonnet gravity combined with non-linear electrodynamics

Quasinormal modes of black holes were previously calculated in a non-linear electrodynamics and in the Gauss-Bonnet gravity theory. Here we take into consideration both of the above factors and find quasinormal modes of a (massive) scalar field in the background of a black hole in the five-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity coupled to a non-linear electrodynamics having Maxwellian weak-field limit. For the non-linear electrodynamics we considered the high frequency (eikonal) regime of oscillations analytically, while for the lower multipoles the higher order WKB analysis with the help of Padé approximants and the time domain integration were used. We found that perturbations of a test scalar field violate the inequality between the damping rate of the least damped mode and the Hawking temperature, known as the Hod's proposal. This does not exclude the situation in which gravitational spectrum may restore the Hod's inequality, so that only the analysis of the full spectrum, including gravitational perturbations, will show if the quasinormal modes we found here for the scalar field can be a counterexample to the Hod's conjecture or not. We also revealed that in such a system, which includes the higher curvature corrections and non-linear electrodynamics, for perturbations of a massive scalar field there exists the phenomenon of the arbitrary long lived quasinormal modes - quasiresonances.

Limiting effects in clusters of misaligned toroids orbiting static SMBHs

We consider agglomerates of misaligned, pressure supported tori orbiting a Schwarzschild black hole. A leading function is introduced, regulating the toroids distribution around the central static attractor-it enables to model the misaligned tori aggregate as a single orbiting (macro--)configuration. We first analyze the leading function for purely hydrodynamical perfect fluid toroids. Later, the function is modified for presence of a toroidal magnetic field. We study the constraints on the tori collision emergence and the instability of the agglomerates of misaligned tori with general relative inclination angles. We discuss the possibility that the twin peak high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (HF-QPOs) could be related to the agglomerate inner ringed structure. The discrete geometry of the system is related to HF-QPOs considering several oscillation geodesic models associated to the toroids inner edges. We also study possible effect of the tori geometrical thickness on the oscillatory phenomena.
