Pair Creation of Black Holes
نویسنده
چکیده
This article is based on a talk given at the IInd International Colloquium on Modern Quantum Field Theory, Bombay 1994. The Ernst solution of dilaton gravity describes charged black holes undergoing uniform accleration in a background magnetic field. By analytically continuing the Ernst solution one obtains instantons that describe the pair production of black holes in the background field. We review various aspects of these solutions paying special attention to the Einstein-Maxwell, low-energy string and d = 5 Kaluza-Klein theories. It is based on work done in collaboration with F. Dowker, S. Giddings, G. Horowitz, D. Kastor and J. Traschen [1,2].

Pair creation rate for U(1)2 black holes.
I consider a truncation of low-energy string theory which contains two U(1) gauge fields. After making some general comments on the theory, I describe a previously-obtained instanton for the pair creation of black holes when both gauge fields are non-zero, and obtain the pair creation rate by calculating its action. This calculation agrees qualitatively with the earlier calculation of the pair ...
متن کاملPair creation of higher dimensional black holes on a de Sitter background
We study in detail the quantum process in which a pair of black holes is created in a higher D-dimensional de Sitter (dS) background. The energy to materialize and accelerate the pair comes from the positive cosmological constant. The instantons that describe the process are obtained from the Tangherlini black hole solutions. Our pair creation rates reduce to the pair creation rate for Reissner...
متن کاملPair creation of black holes during inflation.
Black holes came into existence together with the universe through the quantum process of pair creation in the inflationary era. We present the instantons responsible for this process and calculate the pair creation rate from the no boundary proposal for the wave function of the universe. We find that this proposal leads to physically sensible results, which fit in with other descriptions of pa...
متن کاملBlack Hole Solutions and Pair Creation of Black Holes in Three, Four and Higher Dimensional Spacetimes
Black holes, first found as solutions of Einstein’s General Relativity, are important in astrophysics, since they result from the gravitational collapse of a massive star or a cluster of stars, and in physics since they reveal properties of the fundamental physics, such as thermodynamic and quantum properties of gravitation. In order to better understand the black hole physics we need exact sol...
متن کاملBlack hole pair creation and the entropy factor.
It is shown that in the instanton approximation the rate of creation of black holes is always enhanced by a factor of the exponential of the black hole entropy relative to the rate of creation of compact matter distributions (stars). This result holds for any generally covariant theory of gravitational and matter fields that can be expressed in Hamiltonian form. It generalizes the result obtain...
متن کاملPair Production of Topological anti de Sitter Black Holes
The pair creation of black holes with event horizons of non-trivial topology is described. The spacetimes are all limiting cases of the cosmological C metric. They are generalizations of the (2 + 1) dimensional black hole and have asymptotically anti de Sitter behaviour. Domain walls instantons can mediate their pair creation for a wide range of mass and charge. email: [email protected] ...
