Kerr–Newman solution in modified teleparallel theory of gravity

The Maxwell invariant plays a fundamental role in the mathematical description of electromagnetic fields in charged spacetimes. In particular, it has recently been proved that spatially regular scalar fields which are non-minimally coupled to the Maxwell electromagnetic invariant can be supported by spinning and charged Kerr-Newman black holes. Motivated by this physically intriguing property of asymptotically flat black holes in composed Einstein-Maxwell-scalar field theories, we present a detailed analytical study of the physical and mathematical properties of the Maxwell electromagnetic invariant FKNrθMaQ\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$ {\\mathcal{F}}_{\ extrm{KN}}\\left(r,\ heta; M,a,Q\\right) $$\\end{document} which characterizes the Kerr-Newman black-hole spacetime [here {r, θ} are respectively the radial and polar coordinates of the curved spacetime and {M, J = M a, Q} are respectively the mass, angular momentum, and electric charge parameters of the black hole].

In general relativity, an inertial frame can only be established in a small region of spacetime, and local inertial frames are mathematically represented by a tetrad field in gravity. The tetrad field is not unique due to the freedom to perform Lorentz transformations in local inertial frames, and there exists freedom to choose the local inertial frame at each spacetime point. The local Lorentz transformations are known as non-Abelian gauge transformations for the tetrad field, and to fix the gauge freedom corresponding to the Lorentz gauge ∂μAμ=0 and the Coulomb gauge ∂iAi=0 in electrodynamics, the Lorentz gauge and Coulomb gauge for tetrad fields are proposed in the present work. Moreover, properties of the Lorentz gauge and the Coulomb gauge for tetrad fields are discussed to show their similarities to those in electromagnetic fields.

The Kerr–Newman metric is used to discuss the average radial speed of light from near to far space surrounding the super-gravitational source like a black hole which can be observed by a weak-gravitational reference frame such as an observer on the Earth. The velocity equation of light near the black hole is represented by the Boyer–Lindquist coordinates (t, r, θ, and ϕ), and the main parameters are the Schwarzschild radius RS, the rotation term a, and the charged term RQ. From the calculations, the average radial speed of light from r = RS to r = αRS with α&gt;1 is possibly observed exceeding c by an observer on the Earth. The result can extend to the large r place when the rotation of the black hole is high or the charge is very large. This average radial speed finally approaches c far away from the black hole. We also propose a new explanation based on our results that the observation of the faster-than-light particle is due to the light bending near the Kerr–Newman black hole or supermassive star with very strong gravity. In addition, two superluminal theories used to explain the speed of light in astronomy are compared. One is the Doppler effect in special relativity, and the other is the change in the photon speed due to the QED contribution of one-loop vacuum polarization to the photon effective action. The former seems to mainly appear as the change of the observed wavelength or frequency, while the latter is probably the random and irregular occurrences. Our explanation is based on the Kerr–Newman metric in general relativity, and it extends the discussion from the flat spacetime in special relativity to the curved spacetime which is suitable for many superluminal observations near the super-gravitational sources like the black hole. Our calculations are used to verify tangible observations like the M87 jet.

We investigate two Type-IIa Minimally Modified Gravity theories, namely VCDM and Cuscuton theories. We confirm that all acceptable Cuscuton solutions are always solutions for VCDM theory. However, the inverse does not hold. We find that VCDM allows for the existence of exact General Relativity (GR) solutions with or without the presence of matter fields and a cosmological constant. We determine the conditions of existence for such GR-VCDM solutions in terms of the trace of the extrinsic curvature and on the fields which define the VCDM theory. On the other hand, for the Cuscuton theory, we find that the same set of exact GR solutions (such as Schwarzschild and Kerr spacetimes) is not compatible with timelike configurations of the Cuscuton field and therefore cannot be considered as acceptable solutions. Nonetheless, in Cuscuton theory, there could exist solutions which are not the same but close enough to GR solutions. We also show the conditions to determine intrinsic-VCDM solutions, i.e. solutions which differ from GR and do not belong to the Cuscuton model. We finally show that in cosmology a mapping between VCDM and the Cuscuton is possible, for a generic form of the VCDM potential. In particular, we find that for a quadratic potential in VCDM theory, this mapping is well defined giving an effective redefinition of the Planck mass for the cosmological background solutions of both theories.

After the original discovery of the Kerr metric, Newman and Janis showed that this solution could be ``derived'' by making an elementary complex transformation to the Schwarzschild solution. The same method was then used to obtain a new stationary axisymmetric solution to Einstein's field equations now known as the Kerr-newman metric, representing a rotating massive charged black hole. However no clear reason has ever been given as to why the Newman-Janis algorithm works, many physicist considering it to be an ad hoc procedure or ``fluke'' and not worthy of further investigation. Contrary to this belief this paper shows why the Newman-Janis algorithm is successful in obtaining the Kerr-Newman metric by removing some of the ambiguities present in the original derivation. Finally we show that the only perfect fluid generated by the Newman-Janis algorithm is the (vacuum) Kerr metric and that the only Petrov typed D solution to the Einstein-Maxwell equations is the Kerr-Newman metric.

The successes of f(R) gravitational theory as a logical extension of Einstein’s theory of general relativity (GR) encourage us to delve deep into this theory and continue our study to attempt to derive an extension of the Schwarzschild black hole (BH) solution. In this study, in order to solve the output nonlinear differential equation, we closed the form of the system by assuming the derivative of f(R) with respect to the scalar curvature R to have the form F(r)=df(R(r))dR(r)=1-αr4\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$F(r)=\\frac{\ extrm{d}f(R(r))}{\ extrm{d}R(r)}=1- \\frac{\\alpha }{r^4}$$\\end{document}, where α\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$\\alpha $$\\end{document} is a dimensional constant.

Moreover, we derive the timelike and null particle geodesics of the BH solution studied in this article.

The energy and angular momentum are calculated to study the circular motion and stability of circular orbits. We also derive the stability condition using the geodesic deviation. Moreover, we discuss the physics of the output BH solutions through calculation of the thermodynamic quantities including entropy, the Hawking temperature, and Gibbs free energy. Finally, we check the validity of the first law of thermodynamics applied to the BH of this study.

In the present paper, the characterization of the Kerr metric found by Marc Mars is extended to the Kerr–Newman family. A simultaneous alignment of the Maxwell field, the Ernst two-form of the pseudo-stationary Killing vector field, and the Weyl curvature of the metric is shown to imply that the space-time is locally isometric to domains in the Kerr–Newman metric. The paper also presents an extension of Ionescu and Klainerman’s null tetrad formalism to explicitly include Ricci curvature terms.

Accretion of matter onto astronomical objects is an important phenomenon of long-standing interest to astrophysicists and the most likely scenario to explain the high energy output from quasars and active galactic nuclei. Some analytic solutions for simple cases have been obtained in literatures. Here we obtain an analytic solution for accretion of a gaseous medium onto a Kerr-Newman black hole which moves at a constant velocity through the medium. The gaseous medium has an adiabatic equation of state: P=ρ, which implies that the adiabatic index is equal to 2 and that the speed of sound is equal to the speed of light, so the flow velocity must be subsonic everywhere and therefore no shock waves arise. We consider the flow in the Kerr-Newman black hole rest frame. The flow is into, and not out from, a Kerr-Newman black hole. We seek a stationary solution, assuming a homogeneous fluid moving at constant velocity at large distances. The flow of matter is approximated as a perfect fluid with zero vorticity, which means the velocity of the perfect fluid can be expressed as the gradient of a potential: huμ=ψ,μ. Assuming that no particles are created or destroyed, then the particle density n is conserved, which results in the equation of continuity for the particle density: (nuα);α=0 and it reduces to (ψ,α);α=0 for the case of an adiabatic equation of state. By assuming the asymptotic boundary condition in spherical coordinates and the general formula of the solution in the Kerr-Newman spacetime, we obtain the concrete form of the equation for the potential (ψ,α);α=0 and derive the solution under two boundary conditions: the expression of the potential ψ at infinity and the particle density n are finite everywhere, including at the event horizon of a black hole. We present the mass accretion rate which depends on Lorentz factor, the mass, the electric charge, and the angular momentum, but it is independent of the orientation of the black hole’s spin with respect to the incident direction of the flow. The flow is fully three dimensional for Kerr-Newman black hole, which is a function of spherical coordinates (r, θ, ϕ) and has no spherical symmetry and axial symmetry. The results obtained here may provide valuable physical insight into the more complicated cases and can be generalized to other types of black hole.

We use a tetrad field that his associated metric gives Schwarzschild-AdS spacetime. This tetrad constructed from a diagonal tetrad, which is the square root of Schwarzschild-Ads metric and two other local Lorentz transformations. One of these transformations is a special case of Euler angles and the other is a boost transformation. We then apply the approach of invariant conserved currents to calculate the conserved quantity of Schwarzschild-Ads. Such approach needs a regularization to give the correct result. Therefore, a relocalization procedure is used to calculate the total conserved charge. This procedure leads to physical results in terms of total energy.

In this study, the homogenous and anisotropic locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) Bianchi type-I universe filled with the bulk viscous and the string cloud matter has been investigated in the Brans-Dicke (BD) scalar-tensor theory. The modified Einstein field equations of the constructed model have been solved by using the relation of the scale factors $A=B^m$ and considering the deceleration parameter to be $q=m-1$. It is found that the string does not survive for the model due to the obtained zero string energy density ($\rho_s=0$) and agrees with some studies in recent years. Moreover, it is possible to say that string matter may be turned into phantom energy over time, depending on the obtained negative rest energy density of the matter. When BD scalar field $\Phi$ is assumed constant, the attained solutions are reduced to General Relativity (GR) solutions for the static vacuum. Thus, the constructed model has not allowed the reduction of the BD solutions to GR solutions, including the matter distributions. In addition, some expansion models for choosing a value of constant $m$ have been obtained and provided. All the results have been analyzed in detail.

Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity has recently been known to exhibit spontaneous scalarization. In the presence of the Gauss-Bonnet term the no-hair theorem can be evaded and novel black hole solutions with non-trivial scalar fields have been found besides the general relativistic solutions. In this paper, we aim to investigate the possibility of observationally testing Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity using thin accretion disk properties around such scalarized black holes. Using the Novikov-Thorne model, we numerically calculate the electromagnetic flux, temperature distribution, emission spectrum, innermost stable circular orbits and energy conversion efficiency of accretion disks around such black holes and compare the results with the standard general relativistic Schwarzschild solution. We find that the accretion disks around scalarized black holes are hotter and more luminous than in general relativity.

Holomorphic general coordinate invariant modified measure gravitational theory

The canonical formulation of general relativity (GR) is based on decomposition space–time manifold M into R × Σ , where R represents the time, and Ksi is the three-dimensional space-like surface. This decomposition has to preserve the invariance of GR, invariance under general coordinates, and local Lorentz transformations. These symmetries are associated with conserved currents that are coupled to gravity. These symmetries are studied on a three dimensional space-like hypersurface Σ embedded in a four-dimensional space–time manifold. This implies continuous symmetries and conserved currents by Noether’s theorem on that surface. We construct a three-form E i ∧ D A i (D represents covariant exterior derivative) in the phase space ( E i a , A a i ) on the surface Σ , and derive an equation of continuity on that surface, and search for canonical relations and a Lagrangian that correspond to the same equation of continuity according to the canonical field theory. We find that Σ i 0 a is a conjugate momentum of A a i and Σ i a b F a b i is its energy density. We show that there is conserved spin current that couples to A i , and show that we have to include the term F μ ν i F μ ν i in GR. Lagrangian, where F i = D A i , and A i is complex S O ( 3 ) connection. The term F μ ν i F μ ν i includes one variable, A i , similar to Yang–Mills gauge theory. Finally we couple the connection A i to a left-handed spinor field ψ , and find the corresponding beta function.

We study the lensing effects of Kerr–Newman (KN) black holes and the multi-level images of luminous sources around the black holes. We obtain the analytic forms of the lens equations in KN spacetime and derive approximately their limiting forms for photon emissions near the bounded photon orbits. After deriving the expressions of three key parameters γ, δ and τ, we investigate the primary, the secondary and the higher-order images of spherical sources and equatorial disk-like sources. In particular, we find that the charge of KN black hole has a significant effect on the higher-order images.
