We use exact results in a new approach to quantum gravity to study the effect of quantum loop corrections on the behavior of the metric of spacetime near the Schwarzschild radius of a massive point particle in the standard model. We show that the classical conclusion that such a system is a black hole is obviated. Phenomenological implications are discussed.

Abstract We construct families, and concrete examples, of simple extensions of the Standard Model that can yield ultralight real or complex vectors or scalars with potential astrophysical relevance. Specifically, the mass range for these putative fundamental bosons (∼ 10-10-10-20 eV) would lead dynamically to both new non-black hole compact objects (bosonic stars) and new non-Kerr black holes, with masses of ∼ M⊙ to ∼ 1010 M⊙, corresponding to the mass range of astrophysical black hole candidates (from stellar mass to supermassive). For each model, we study the properties of the mass spectrum and interactions after spontaneous symmetry breaking, discuss its theoretical viability and caveats, as well as some of its potential and most relevant phenomenological implications linking them to the physics of compact objects.

Abstract Spherically symmetric magnetic and dyonic black holes with a magnetic charge Q = 2 are studied in the Standard Model and general relativity. A magnetically charged black hole with mass below 9.3 × 1035 GeV has a “hairy” cloud of electroweak gauge and Higgs fields outside the event horizon with 1/mW in size. An extremal magnetic black hole has a hair mass of 3.6 TeV, while an extremal dyonic black hole has an additional mass of q2 × 1.6 GeV for a small electric charge q ≪ 2π/e2. A hairy dyonic black hole with an integer charge is not stable and can decay into a magnetic one plus charged fermions. On the other hand, a hairy magnetic black hole can evolve via Hawking radiation into a nearly extremal one that is cosmologically stable and an interesting object to be searched for.

The Hawking radiation spectrum of Kerr-Sen axion-dilaton black holes is derived, in the context of dark spinors tunnelling across the horizon. Since a black hole has a well defined temperature, it should radiate in principle all the standard model particles, similar to a black body at that temperature. We investigate the tunnelling of mass dimension one spin-1/2 dark fermions, which are beyond the standard model and are prime candidates to the dark matter. Their interactions with the standard model matter and gauge fields are suppressed by at least one power of unification scale, being restricted just to the Higgs field and to the graviton likewise. The tunnelling method for the emission and absorption of mass dimension one particles across the event horizon of Kerr-Sen axion-dilaton black holes is shown here to provide further evidence for the universality of black hole radiation, further encompassing particles beyond the standard model.

In this paper, we consider general relativity in the large N limit, where N stands for the number of particles in the model. Studying the resummed graviton propagator in the linearized regime, we propose to interpret its complex poles as black hole precursors. Our main result is the calculation of the mass and width of the lightest of black holes. We show that the values of the masses of black hole precursors depend on the number of fields in the theory. Their masses can be lowered down to the TeV region by increasing the number of fields in a hidden sector that only interacts gravitationally with the Standard Model.

In this paper, we derive new modes for massive Dirac field in the background of a higher-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole. We use in our approach the Cartesian gauge defined in local frames. We work in the context of Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos and Dvali (ADD)-like theories, assuming that the Standard Model fields (fermions and bosons) live only on a (3+1)-dimensional brane and the extra dimensions of space can be large in size.

AbstractThe studied conjecture is that ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are hypothetical Planck neutrinos arising in the decay of the protons falling onto the gravastar. The proton is assumed to decay at the Planck scale into positron and four Planck neutrinos. The supermassive black holes inside active galactic nuclei, while interpreted as gravastars, are considered as UHECR sources. The scattering of the Planck neutrinos by the proton at the Planck scale is considered. The Planck neutrinos contribution to the CR events may explain the CR spectrum from 5 × 1018 eV to 1020 eV. The muon number in the Planck neutrinos-initiated shower is estimated to be larger by a factor of 3/2 in comparison with the standard model that is consistent with the observational data.

The ultrahigh energy neutrino cross section is well understood in the standard model for neutrino energies up to 1012 GeV, Tests of neutrino oscillations (νμ ↔ ντ) from extragalactic sources of neutrinos are possible with large underground detectors. Measurements of horizontal air shower event rates at neutrino energies above 1010 GeV will be able to constrain nonstandard model contributions to the neutrino-nucleon cross section, e.g., from mini-black hole production.

AbstractBosonic fields around a spinning black hole can be amplified via ‘superradiance’, a wave analogue of the Penrose process, which extracts energy and momentum from the black hole. For hypothetical ultra-light bosons, with Compton wavelengths on ≳ km scales, such a process can lead to the exponential growth of gravitationally bound states around astrophysical Kerr black holes. If such particles exist, as predicted in many theories of beyond Standard Model physics, then these bosonic clouds give rise to a number of potentially-observable signals. Among the most promising are monochromatic gravitational radiation signals which could be detected at Advanced LIGO and future gravitational wave observatories.
