Mechanics of Rotating Isolated Horizons
نویسندگان
چکیده
Black hole mechanics was recently extended by replacing the more commonly used event horizons in stationary space-times with isolated horizons in more general space-times (which may admit radiation arbitrarily close to black holes). However, so far the detailed analysis has been restricted to nonrotating black holes (although it incorporated arbitrary distortion, as well as electromagnetic, Yang-Mills and dilatonic charges). We now fill this gap by first introducing the notion of isolated horizon angular momentum and then extending the first law to the rotating case.

Laws Governing Isolated Horizons: Inclusion of Dilaton Couplings
Mechanics of non-rotating black holes was recently generalized by replacing the static event horizons used in standard treatments with ‘isolated horizons.’ This framework is extended to incorporate dilaton couplings. Since there can be gravitational and matter radiation outside isolated horizons, now the fundamental parameters of the horizon, used in mechanics, must be defined using only the lo...
متن کاملMechanics of Isolated Horizons
A set of boundary conditions defining an undistorted, non-rotating isolated horizon are specified in general relativity. A space-time representing a black hole which is itself in equilibrium but whose exterior contains radiation admits such a horizon. However, the definition is applicable in a more general context, such as cosmological horizons. Physically motivated, (quasi-)local definitions o...
متن کاملIsolated Horizons: Hamiltonian Evolution and the First Law
A framework was recently introduced to generalize black hole mechanics to physical situations by replacing stationary event horizons with isolated horizons. That framework is significantly extended. The extension is non-trivial in that not only do the boundary conditions now allow the horizon to be distorted and rotating, but also the subsequent framework is based on several new ingredients. Sp...
متن کاملAngular Momentum in Loop Quantum Gravity
An angular momentum operator in loop quantum gravity is defined using spherically symmetric states as a non-rotating reference system. It can be diagonalized simultaneously with the area operator and has the familiar spectrum. The operator indicates how the quantum geometry of non-rotating isolated horizons can be generalized to rotating ones and how the recent computations of black hole entrop...
متن کاملIsolated Horizons: the Classical Phase Space
A Hamiltonian framework is introduced to encompass non-rotating (but possibly charged) black holes that are “isolated” near future time-like infinity or for a finite time interval. The underlying space-times need not admit a stationary Killing field even in a neighborhood of the horizon; rather, the physical assumption is that neither matter fields nor gravitational radiation fall across the po...
