Four-dimensional heterotic string effective action is known to admit non-rotating electrically and magnetically charged black hole solutions. The partition function and entropy is computed for electrically charged black holes and is vanishing in some extremal limit. For the magnetically charged black holes the entropy is also argued to be vanishing in the same extremal limit when these black hole solutions are related by S-duality transformations.

It is well known that the Smarr formula does not hold for black holes in nonlinear electrodynamics. The main reason for this is the fact that the trace of the energy–momentum tensor for nonlinear electrodynamics does not vanish as it is for Maxwell’s electrodynamics. Starting from the Komar integral, we derived a new Smarr-type formula for spherically symmetric static electrically charged black hole solutions in nonlinear electrodynamics. We show that this general formula is in agreement with some that are obtained for black hole solutions with nonlinear electrodynamics.

We study the BPS black hole solutions of the (truncated) action for heterotic string theory compactified on a six-torus. The O (3,Z) duality symmetry of the theory, together with the bound state interpretation of extreme black holes, is used to generate the whole spectrum of the solutions. The corresponding space–time structures, written in terms of the string metric, are analyzed in detail. In particular, we show that only the elementary solutions present naked singularities. The bound states have either null singularities (electric solutions) or are regular (magnetic or dyonic solutions) with near-horizon geometries given by the product of two 2d spaces of constant curvature. The behavior of some of these solutions as supersymmetric attractors is discussed. We also show that our approach is very useful to understand some of the puzzling features of charged black hole solutions in string theory.

For extremal charged black holes, the thermodynamic entropy is proportional to the mass or charges but not proportional to the area. This is demonstrated here for dyonic extremal black hole solutions of string theory. It is pointed out that these solutions have zero classical action although the area is nonzero. By combining the general form of the entropy allowed by thermodynamics with recent observations in the literature it is possible to fix the entropy almost completely.

In this paper, we study the quasinormal modes of the massless Dirac field for charged black holes in Rastall gravity. The spherically symmetric black hole solutions in question are characterized by the presence of a power-Maxwell field, surrounded by the quintessence fluid. The calculations are carried out by employing the WKB approximations up to the 13th-order, as well as the matrix method. The temporal evolution of the quasinormal modes is investigated by using the finite difference method. Through numerical simulations, the properties of the quasinormal frequencies are analyzed, including those for the extremal black holes. Among others, we explore the case of a second type of extremal black holes regarding the Nariai solution, where the cosmical and event horizon coincide. The results obtained by the WKB approaches are found to be mostly consistent with those by the matrix method. It is observed that the magnitudes of both real and imaginary parts of the quasinormal frequencies increase with increasing [Formula: see text], the spin–orbit quantum number. Also, the roles of the parameters [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], associated with the electric charge and the equation of state of the quintessence field, respectively, are investigated regarding their effects on the quasinormal frequencies. The magnitude of the electric charge is found to sensitively affect the time scale of the first stage of quasinormal oscillations, after which the temporal oscillations become stabilized. It is demonstrated that the black hole solutions for Rastall gravity in asymptotically flat spacetimes are equivalent to those in Einstein gravity, featured by different asymptotical spacetime properties. As one of its possible consequences, we also investigate the behavior of the late-time tails of quasinormal models in the present model. It is found that the asymptotical behavior of the late-time tails of quasinormal modes in Rastall theory is governed by the asymptotical properties of the spacetimes of their counterparts in Einstein gravity.

We study the motion of relativistic, electrically charged point particles in the background of charged black holes with nontrivial asymptotic behavior. We compute the exact trajectories of massive particles and express them in terms of elliptic Jacobi functions. As a result, we obtain a detailed description of particles orbits in the gravitational field of Reissner–Nordström (anti)-de Sitter black hole, depending of their charge, mass and energy.

We study the attractor flow and near horizon geometry of two-charge small black holes in heterotic string theory. The Hessian of Sen's entropy function with respect to the moduli fields has standard attractor properties and shows the interesting factorization at the attractor fixed points. We notice that the stability conditions are preserved under arbitrary α′-corrections to the black hole solutions.

Non-Abelian solutions of the low-energy heterotic string effective action are discussed. Three types of solutions are shown to exist: regular uncharged shaleron-like solutions, uncharged non-Abelian black holes and charged black holes with non-Abelian hair. In the extremal limit charged non-Abelian black holes generate regular throat structure in the string frame similar to that of the Gibbons-Maeda-Horowitz-Strominger solution.

We discuss the properties of Lorentzian and Euclidean black hole solutions of a generalized two-dimensional dilaton gravity action containing a modulus field, which arises from the compactification of heterotic string models. The duality symmetries of these solutions are also investigated.

Abstract Recently, it was claimed by King & Pringle that accretion of electric charge by a black hole rotating in an aligned external magnetic field results in a “dead” vacuum magnetosphere, where the electric field is totally screened, no vacuum breakdown is possible, and the Blandford-Znajek mechanism cannot operate. Here we study in details the properties of the Wald solution for electrically charged black holes discussed in their paper. Our results show that the claim is erroneous as in the solution with the critical charge q0 = 2aB0 there exists a drop of electrostatic potential along all magnetic field lines except the one coinciding with the symmetry axis. It is also found that while uncharged rotating black holes expel external vacuum magnetic field from their event horizon (the Meissner effect), electric charging of black holes pulls the magnetic field lines back on it, resembling what has been observed in some previous force-free, RMHD and PIC simulations of black hole magnetospheres. This suggests that accretion of electric charge may indeed be a feature of the black hole electrodynamics. However, our analysis shows that the value q0 of the BH charge given by Wald is likely to be only an upper limit, and that the actual value depends of the details of the magnetospheric physics.
