Effective Lagrangian

The effective Lagrangian for the heterotic superstring theory of Gross et al. contains higher-derivative gravitational terms [Formula: see text], n ≥ 2, which become important at large curvatures. This leads to a natural realization of the limiting-curvature hypothesis of Frolov et al., which was formulated to describe the interior of black holes. Assuming a purely geometrical, four-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole, for which all matter fields are zero, this interior consists of two regions: a shell of effective energy-density ρ immediately beyond the event horizon at r+ = 2M, due to the back reaction of the [Formula: see text] on the Schwarzschild metric, extending inward to a transition radius r0 ≈ M⅓, where the shell signature (- + - -) reverts to the exterior Lorentzian form (+ - - -), and an innermost core tending asymptotically to anti-de Sitter space as r → 0. The total mass-energy content of the hole M can be expressed in terms of the effective energy–momentum tensor Sij as the Nordström mass [Formula: see text], since the space–time is static and free of physical singularities. The conjecture that ρ N (r) is positive in the shell, which is necessary for the contribution to M N to be positive, is shown to be true for the term [Formula: see text], due to the unrenormalized [Formula: see text]. The corresponding "potential" energy–momentum tensor calculated in the Schwarzschild background is isotropic in the region r0 ≪ r ≪ r+, where [Formula: see text], while the dominant "kinetic" contribution is [Formula: see text], so that [Formula: see text].

Regular Black Hole

In this work, we present a regular black hole solution, in the context of scale-dependent General Relativity, satisfying the weak energy condition. The source of this solution is an anisotropic effective energy–momentum tensor which appears when the scale dependence of the theory is turned-on. In this sense, the solution can be considered as a semiclassical extension of the Schwarzschild one.

De Sitter Vacuum

The ten-dimensional effective Lagrangian [Formula: see text] for the gravitational sector of the heterotic superstring theory is known up to quartic higher-derivative order [Formula: see text]. In cosmology, the reduced, four-dimensional line element assumes the Friedmann form ds2 = dt2 - a(t)2dx2, where t is comoving time and a(t) ≡ a0eα(t) is the radius function of the three-space dx2, whose curvature is k = 0, ± 1. The four-Lagrangian can then be expressed as the power-series [Formula: see text], where ˙ ≡ d/dt, from which the field equation can be derived by the method of Ostrogradsky. Here, we determine the coefficients Λ0, An, Bn, Cn, and Kn, which are all non-vanishing in general. We recover the previously obtained, high-curvature, anti-de Sitter vacuum state [Formula: see text] with effective cosmological constant Λ = {18/[175ζ(3) - 1/2]}1/3A r κ-2, whose existence makes it possible to envisage a singularity-free and horizon-free cosmological solution, stable to linear perturbations. It is interesting that all the coefficients of quartic origin arise from the near-cancellation of sums of opposite sign but magnitude f ≈ (28.6–369) times larger than the answer. They thus exhibit a slight asymmetry with regard to positive and negative energies, the anti-de Sitter vacuum being characterized by positive Nordström energy, and therefore only accessible at high curvatures. This vacuum state is a Bose–Einstein condensate of non-interacting gravitons at zero temperature, which, referred to comoving time, can only be formulated after the Wick rotation t → ±iτ, resulting in an imaginary horizon.

Black Hole Radiation

Respecting that any consistent quantum field theory in curved space–time must include black hole radiation, in this paper, we examine the Krein–Gupta–Bleuler (KGB) formalism as an inevitable quantization scheme in order to follow the guideline of the covariance of minimally coupled massless scalar field and linear gravity on de Sitter (dS) background in the sense of Wightman–Gärding approach, by investigating thermodynamical aspects of black holes. The formalism is interestingly free of pathological large distance behavior. In this construction, also, no infinite term appears in the calculation of expectation values of the energy–momentum tensor (we have an automatic and covariant renormalization) which results in the vacuum energy of the free field to vanish. However, the existence of an effective potential barrier, intrinsically created by black holes gravitational field, gives a Casimir-type contribution to the vacuum expectation value of the energy–momentum tensor. On this basis, by evaluating the Casimir energy–momentum tensor for a conformally coupled massless scalar field in the vicinity of a nonrotating black hole event horizon through the KGB quantization, in this work, we explicitly prove that the hole produces black-body radiation which its temperature exactly coincides with the result obtained by Hawking for black hole radiation.

Quartic higher-derivative gravitational terms in the effective Lagrangian of the heterotic superstring theory renormalize the bare, four-dimensional gravitational coupling [Formula: see text], due to the reduction process [Formula: see text], according to the formula [Formula: see text], where A r and B r are the moduli for the physical space gij(xk) and internal space [Formula: see text], respectively. The Euler characteristic [Formula: see text] is negative for a three-generation Calabi–Yau manifold, and therefore both the additional terms, of tree-level and one-loop origin, produce a decrease in κ-2, which changes sign when κ-2 = 0. The corresponding tree-level critical point is [Formula: see text], if we set [Formula: see text] and λ = 15π2, for compactification onto a torus. Values [Formula: see text] yield the anti-gravity region κ-2 < 0, which is analytically accessible from the normal gravity region κ-2 > 0. The only non-singular, vacuum minimum of the potential [Formula: see text] is located at the point [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text], the quadratic trace anomaly [Formula: see text] dominates over [Formula: see text], and a phase of de Sitter expansion may occur, as first envisaged by Starobinsky, in approximate agreement with the constraint due to the effect of gravitational waves upon the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation. There is no non-singular minimum of the potential [Formula: see text].

If the classical gravitational Lagrangian contains higher-derivative terms [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text], then vacuum solutions of the Einstein–Hilbert theory [Formula: see text] are subject to modification at sufficiently large spacetime curvatures. Previously, we have calculated the effective energy–momentum tensor [Formula: see text] due to the quartic gravitational terms [Formula: see text] of the heterotic superstring theory in the four-dimensional background spacetime of the Schwarzschild black hole, obtaining an expression which satisfies the strong energy condition, and thereby suggests that the [Formula: see text] might not remove the central singularity. This conjecture was put forward from a different viewpoint by Horowitz and Myers, who argued that a non-singular black-hole interior resulting from the [Formula: see text] would be unstable, necessitating reappraisal of the notion of a singular interior spacetime. Here, we show that the chief features of the solution can be simulated by a Bardeen-type ansatz, assuming the spherically symmetric line element [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text], which, when [Formula: see text], can explain heuristically why [Formula: see text] in the shell region [Formula: see text] of a macroscopic black hole for which [Formula: see text], while [Formula: see text] remains finite at [Formula: see text].

Third Law Of Thermodynamics

The thermodynamic theory underlying black hole processes is developed in detail and applied to model systems. I t is found that Kerr-Newman black holes undergo a phase transition at a = 0.68 M or Q = 0.86 M , where the heat capacity has an infinite discontinuity. Above the transition values the specific heat is positive, permitting isothermal equilibrium with a surrounding heat bath. Simple processes and stability criteria for various black hole situations are investigated. The limits for entropieally favoured black hole formation are found. The Nernst conditions for the third law of thermodynamics are not satisfied fully for black holes. There is no obvious thermodynamic reason why a black hole may not be cooled down below absolute zero and converted into a naked singularity. Quantum energy-momentum tensor calculations for uncharged black holes are extended to the Reissner-Nordstrom case, and found to be fully consistent with the thermodynamic picture for Q < M . For Q > M the model predicts that ‘naked’ collapse also produces radiation, with such intensity that the collapsing matter is entirely evaporated away before a naked singularity can form.

Nonsingular Cosmological Model

A method for the phenomenological description of particle production is proposed. Correspondingly modified equations of motion and energy-momentum tensor are obtained. In order to illustrate this method we reconsider from the new point of view of (i) the C-field Hoyle-Narlikar cosmology, (ii) the influence of the particle production process on metric inside the event horizon of a charged black hole and (iii) a nonsingular cosmological model.
