(De)quantization of black hole charges
نویسندگان
چکیده
We argue that magnetic and electric charges of the Reissner-Nordstrom black hole are quantized in CP conserving theories. Dequantization phenomenon occurs when CP is broken either explicitly or effectively, and, as a result, pure magnetic black holes are not possible. Two examples illustrating this phenomenon are discussed. One is the electric charge induced by the neutral pion field in a magnetically charged black hole, and another is the electric charge induced due to the massive spin-two field emerging from possible higher curvature terms.

Charge quantization of axion-dilaton black holes.
We present axion-dilaton black-hole and multi-black-hole solutions of the low-energy string effective action. Under SL(2, R) electric-magnetic duality rotations only the "hair" (charges and asymptotic values of the fields) of our solutions is transformed. The functional form of the solutions is duality invariant. Axion-dilaton black holes with zero entropy and zero area of the horizon form a fa...
متن کاملThe Case for Discrete Energy Levels of a Black Hole
The adiabatic invariant nature of black hole horizon area in classical gravity suggests that in quantum theory the corresponding operator has a discrete spectrum. I here develop further an algebraic approach to black hole quantization which starts from very elementary assumptions, and proceeds by exploiting symmetry. It predicts a uniformly spaced area spectrum for all charges and angular momen...
متن کاملBlack Holes with Flavors of Quantum Hair?
We show that black holes can posses a long-range quantum hair of super-massive tensor fields, which can be detected by Aharonov-Bohm tabletop interference experiments, in which a quantum-hairy black hole, or a remnant particle, passes through the loop of a magnetic solenoid. The long distance effect does not decouple for an arbitrarily high mass of the hair-providing field. Because Kaluza-Klein...
متن کاملBohr’s Semiclassical Model of the Black Hole Thermodynamics
We propose a simple procedure for evaluating the main attributes of a Schwarzschild’s black hole: Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, Hawking temperature and Bekenstein’s quantization of the surface area. We make use of the condition that the circumference of a great circle on the black hole horizon contains finite and whole number of the corresponding reduced Compton’s wavelength. It is essentially an...
متن کاملBlack Hole Attractors and the Topological String
A simple relationship of the form ZBH = |Ztop| is conjectured, where ZBH is a supersymmetric partition function for a four-dimensional BPS black hole in a Calabi-Yau compactification of Type II superstring theory and Ztop is a second-quantized topological string partition function evaluated at the attractor point in moduli space associated to the black hole charges. Evidence for the conjecture ...
