Teleparallel Stringy Black Holes and Topological Nieh-Yan Charges
Abstract Recently Banerjee [Class Quantum Gravity 2010] has investigated the Nieh-Yan (NY) topological charges in static black holes (BH) of Schwarzschild type. In this paper we extend Banerjee computations to a static BH with a cosmic string inside it and check how this modifies the NY anomaly. In orthonormal coordinates it is shown that NY topological invariant does not produce any contribution to anomaly. Nevertheless since other topological invariants as the Pontryagin density may appear in teleparallel gravity, since there the full Riemann-Cartan (RC) tensor vanishes and the Riemann tensor can be expressed in terms of torsion. Hence, Pontryagin topological charge may be computed in terms of torsion. The horizons of black holes and singularities are examined. The vanishing of torsion flux along Strings inside BH indicates that the string is confined inside the BH. This similarity is between the NY topological invariant $N=d(T^{i}{\wedge}e_{i})\sim{T^{i}{\wedge}T_{i}}$ and the torsion scalar defined here as $T^{2}= T_{ijk}T^{ijk}$ where T represents torsion differential forms and tensors. It is also shown that the Kerr BH can pursue a NY form invariant.the same problem in some metric forms.
