Erratum: Perturbations of Schwarzschild black holes in dynamical Chern-Simons modified gravity [Phys. Rev. D80, 064008 (2009)]

How do black holes spin in Chern-Simons modified gravity?

No Kerr-like exact solution has yet been found in Chern-Simons modified gravity. Intrigued by this absence, we study stationary and axisymmetric metrics that could represent the exterior field of spinning black holes. For the standard choice of the background scalar, the modified field equations decouple into the Einstein equations and additional constraints. These constraints eliminate essenti...

Three-dimensional Chern-Simons black holes

We construct black hole solutions to three-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory with both gravitational and electromagnetic Chern-Simons terms. These intrinsically rotating solutions are geodesically complete, and causally regular within a certain parameter range. Their mass, angular momentum and entropy are found to satisfy the first law of black hole thermodynamics. These Chern-Simons black ho...

Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons Black Holes

5-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory with Chern-Simons coefficient λ = 1 has supersymmetric black holes with vanishing horizon angular velocity, but finite angular momentum. Here supersymmetry is associated with a borderline between stability and instability, since for λ > 1 a rotational instability arises, where counterrotating black holes appear, whose horizon rotates in the opp...

Quantum gravity corrections for Schwarzschild black holes

We consider the matrix theory proposal describing 11-dimensional Schwarzschild black holes. We argue that the Newtonian potential between two black holes receives a genuine long-range quantum gravity correction, which is finite and can be computed from the supergravity point of view. In this large-distance limit, the black hole will be treated as a massive pointlike object. The supergravity res...
