Higher Dimensional Taub-NUTs and Taub-Bolts in Einstein-Maxwell Gravity

چکیده

We present a class of higher dimensional solutions to Einstein-Maxwell equations in d–dimensions. These solutions are asymptotically locally flat, de–Sitter, or anti–de Sitter space-times. The solutions we obtained depend on two extra parameters other than the mass and the nut charge. These two parameters are the electric charge q and the electric potential at infinity, V , which has a nontrivial contribution. We Analyze the conditions one can impose to obtain Taub-Nut or Taub-Bolt space-times, including the four-dimensional case. We found that in the nut case these conditions coincide with that coming from the regularity of the one-form potential at the horizon. Furthermore, the mass parameter for the higher dimensional solutions depends on the nut charge and the electric charge or the potential at infinity.

We show that the " Taub-bolt instantons " are the only Riemannian, Ricci-flat and asymptotically locally flat (ALF) C 2-metrics on a 4-dimensional, complete, simply connected man-ifold having (at least) a one-parameter group of isometries which are compatible with ALF, have trajectories of bounded length at infinity and no isolated fixed points. Attempts of estimating the path integral of Quant...

Higher Derivative Corrections, Dimensional Reduction and Ehlers Duality

Motivated by applications to black hole physics and duality, we study the effect of higher derivative corrections on the dimensional reduction of four-dimensional Einstein, Einstein-Liouville and Einstein-Maxwell gravity to one direction, as appropriate for stationary, spherically symmetric solutions. We construct a field redefinition scheme such that the one-dimensional Lagrangian is corrected...

The Geodesic Motion on Generalized Taub-nut Gravitational Instantons

A class of generalized Taub-NUT gravitational instantons is reported in five dimensional Einstein gravity coupled to a non-linear sigma model. The geodesic dynamics of a spinless particle of unit mass on these static gravitational instantons is studied. This is accomplished by finding a generalized Runge-Lenz vector. Unlike the Kepler problem, or, the dynamics of a spinless particle on the fami...

Atiyah-Hitchin in Five Dimensional Einstein-Maxwell Theory

We construct exact solutions to five-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory based on Atiyah-Hitchin space. The solutions cannot be written explicitly in a closed form, so their properties are investigated numerically. The five-dimensional metric is regular everywhere except on the location of original bolt in four-dimensional Atiyah-Hitchin base space. On each time-fixed slices, the metric, asympt...

Classical Boundary-value Problem in Riemannian Quantum Gravity and Taub-Bolt-anti-de Sitter Geometries

For an SU(2) × U(1)-invariant S boundary the classical Dirichlet problem of Riemannian quantum gravity is studied for positive-definite regular solutions of the Einstein equations with a negative cosmological constant within biaxial Bianchi-IX metrics containing bolts, i.e., within the family of Taub-Bolt-anti-de Sitter (Taub-Bolt-AdS) metrics. Such metrics are obtained from the two-parameter T...
