Hairy Black Hole

The influential "no-hair" conjecture suggests that black holes may be characterized by only three conserved parameters: mass, charge and angular momentum. However, counterexamples in which the conjecture fails are well-known in the literature. In this essay we study such Einstein-matter theories in which hairy black-hole configurations have been discovered. In particular, we analyze the spatial behavior of the matter fields which reside outside the black-hole horizon. We prove a theorem which reveals the central role played by the null circular geodesic (the "photonsphere") of such hairy black holes. According to this theorem, the asymptotic decline of the hair outside the horizon cannot start before the black-hole photonsphere is crossed. We therefore conclude that hairy black holes must have long hair which extends beyond the photonsphere.

Coupled Theory

We obtain spinning boson star solutions and hairy black holes with synchronized hair in the Einstein–Klein–Gordon model, wherein the scalar field is massive, complex and with a nonminimal coupling to the Ricci scalar. The existence of these hairy black holes in this model provides yet another manifestation of the universality of the synchronization mechanism to endow spinning black holes with hair. We study the variation of the physical properties of the boson stars and hairy black holes with the coupling parameter between the scalar field and the curvature, showing that they are, qualitatively, identical to those in the minimally coupled case. By discussing the conformal transformation to the Einstein frame, we argue that the solutions herein provide new rotating boson star and hairy black hole solutions in the minimally coupled theory, with a particular potential, and that no spherically symmetric hairy black hole solutions exist in the nonminimally coupled theory, under a condition of conformal regularity.

We study epicyclic oscillatory motion along circular geodesics of the Simpson–Visser meta-geometry describing in a unique way regular black-bounce black holes and reflection-symmetric wormholes by using a length parameter l. We give the frequencies of the orbital and epicyclic motion in a Keplerian disc with inner edge at the innermost circular geodesic located above the black hole outer horizon or on the our side of the wormhole. We use these frequencies in the epicyclic resonance version of the so-called geodesic models of high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (HF QPOs) observed in microquasars and around supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei to test the ability of this meta-geometry to improve the fitting of HF QPOs observational data from the surrounding of supermassive black holes. We demonstrate that this is really possible for wormholes with sufficiently high length parameter l.

Abstract In this article we study a family of four-dimensional, $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 supergravity theories that interpolates between all the single dilaton truncations of the SO(8) gauged $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 8 supergravity. In this infinitely many theories characterized by two real numbers — the interpolation parameter and the dyonic “angle” of the gauging — we construct non-extremal electrically or magnetically charged black hole solutions and their supersymmetric limits. All the supersymmetric black holes have non-singular horizons with spherical, hyperbolic or planar topology. Some of these supersymmetric and non-extremal black holes are new examples in the $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 8 theory that do not belong to the STU model. We compute the asymptotic charges, thermodynamics and boundary conditions of these black holes and show that all of them, except one, introduce a triple trace deformation in the dual theory.

AbstractHST images have led to the discovery that small (r ~ 1″ r ~ 100 – 200 pc), well-defined, gaseous disks are common in the nuclei of elliptical galaxies. Measurements of rotational velocities in the disks provide a means to measure the central mass and search for massive black holes in the parent galaxies. The minor axes of these disks are closely aligned with the directions of the large–scale radio jets, suggesting that it is angular momentum of the disk rather than that of the black hole that determines the direction of the radio jets. Because the disks are directly observable, we can study the disks themselves, and investigate important questions which cannot be directly addressed with observations of the smaller and unresolved central accretion disks. In this paper we summarize what has been learned to date in this rapidly unfolding new field.

The neutral time-like particle’s bound orbits around modified Hayward black holes have been investigated. We find that both in the marginally bound orbits (MBO) and the innermost stable circular orbits (ISCO), the test particle’s radius and its angular momentum are all more sensitive to one of the parameters [Formula: see text]. Especially, modified Hayward black holes with [Formula: see text] could mimic the same ISCO radius around the Kerr black hole with the spin parameter up to [Formula: see text]. Small [Formula: see text] could mimic the ISCO of small-spinning test particles around Schwarzschild black holes. Meanwhile, rational (periodic) orbits around modified Hayward black holes have also been studied. The epicyclic frequencies of the quasi-circular motion around modified Hayward black holes are calculated and discussed with respect to the observed Quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) frequencies. Our results show that rational orbits around modified Hayward black holes have different values of the energy from the ones of Schwarzschild black holes. The epicyclic frequencies in modified Hayward black holes have different frequencies from Schwarzschild and Kerr ones. These might provide hints for distinguishing modified Hayward black holes from Schwarzschild and Kerr ones by using the dynamics of time-like particles around the strong gravitational field.

AbstractIn this work, we investigate the quasinormal frequencies of a class of regular black hole solutions which generalize Bardeen and Hayward spacetimes. In particular, we analyze scalar, vector and gravitational perturbations of the black hole with the semianalytic WKB method. We analyze in detail the behaviour of the spectrum depending on the parameter p/q of the black hole, the quantum number of angular momentum and the s number. In addition, we compare our results with the classical solution valid for $$p = q = 1$$ p = q = 1 .

Abstract We study non-supersymmetric extremal black hole excitations of 4d $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 supersymmetric string vacua arising from compactification on Calabi-Yau threefolds. The values of the (vector multiplet) moduli at the black hole horizon are governed by the attractor mechanism. This raises natural questions, such as “what is the distribution of attractor points on moduli space?” and “how many attractor black holes are there with horizon area up to a certain size?” We employ tools developed by Denef and Douglas [1] to answer these questions.

In this paper, we investigate the evolution of classical wave propagation in the canonical acoustic black hole by a numerical method and discuss the details of the tail phenomenon. The oscillating frequency and damping time scale both increase with the angular momentum l. For lower l, numerical results show the lowest WKB approximation gives the most reliable result. We also find that the time scale of the interim region from ringing to tail is not affected obviously by changing l.

Kerr Black Holes

Kerr black holes (BHs) have their angular momentum, [Formula: see text], bounded by their mass, [Formula: see text]: [Formula: see text]. There are, however, known BH solutions violating this Kerr bound. We propose a very simple universal bound on the rotation, rather than on the angular momentum, of four-dimensional, stationary and axisymmetric, asymptotically flat BHs, given in terms of an appropriately defined horizon linear velocity, [Formula: see text]. The [Formula: see text] bound is simply that [Formula: see text] cannot exceed the velocity of light. We verify the [Formula: see text] bound for known BH solutions, including some that violate the Kerr bound, and conjecture that only extremal Kerr BHs saturate the [Formula: see text] bound.
