Quantum electromagnetic “black holes” in a strong magnetic field
نویسنده
چکیده
As demonstrated by Chernodub, strong magnetic field forces vacuum to develop real condensates of electrically charged ρ mesons, which form an anisotropic inhomogeneous superconducting state similar to Abrikosov vortex lattice. As far as electromagnetic field behaviour is concerned, this state of vacuum constitutes a hyperbolic metamaterial [1]. Here we demonstrate that spatial variations of magnetic field may lead to formation of electromagnetic “black holes” inside this metamaterial. Similar to real black holes, horizon area of the electromagnetic “black holes” is quantized in units of the effective “Planck scale” squared. The magnetic fields of the required strength and geometrical configuration may be created on Earth in heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. We evaluate electromagnetic field distribution around an electromagnetic “black hole” which may be created as a result of such collision.

Schwarzschild black holes as unipolar inductors: Expected electromagnetic power of a merger
The motion of a Schwarzschild black hole with velocity v 0 ¼ 0 c through a constant magnetic field B 0 in vacuum induces a component of the electric field along the magnetic field, generating a nonzero second Poincaré electromagnetic invariant à F Á F Þ 0. This will produce (e.g., via radiative effects and vacuum breakdown) an electric charge density of the order of ind ¼ B 0 0 =ð2eR G Þ, where...
متن کاملElectromagnetic fields around black holes and Meissner effect
— The work on black holes immersed in external stationary magnetic fields is reviewed in both test-field approximation and within exact solutions. In particular we pay attention to the effect of the expulsion of the flux of external fields across charged and rotating black holes which are approaching extremal states. Recently this effect has been shown to occur for black hole solutions in strin...
متن کاملOff-equatorial orbits in strong gravitational fields near compact objects
Near a black hole or an ultracompact star, motion of particles is governed by strong gravitational field. Electrically charged particles feel also electromagnetic force arising due to currents inside the star or plasma circling around. We study a possibility that the interplay between gravitational and electromagnetic action may allow for stable, energetically bound off-equatorial motion of cha...
متن کاملA pr 2 00 1 Quantization of the electromagnetic field outside static black holes and its application to low - energy phenomena
We discuss the Gupta-Bleuler quantization of the free electromagnetic field outside static black holes in the Boulware vacuum. We use a gauge which reduces to the Feynman gauge in Minkowski spacetime. We also discuss its relation with gauges used previously. Then we apply the low-energy sector of this field theory to investigate some low-energy phenomena. First, we discuss the response rate of ...
