Quantum gravity effects in Myers-Perry space-times
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study quantum gravity effects for Myers-Perry black holes assuming that the leading contributions arise from the renormalization group evolution of Newton’s coupling. Provided that gravity weakens following the asymptotic safety conjecture, we find that quantum effects lift a degeneracy of higher-dimensional black holes, and dominate over kinematical ones induced by rotation, particularly for small black hole mass, large angular momentum, and higher space-time dimensionality. Quantum-corrected space-times display inner and outer horizons, and show the existence of a black hole of smallest mass in any dimension. Ultra-spinning solutions no longer persist. Thermodynamic properties including temperature, specific heat, the Komar integrals, and aspects of black hole mechanics are studied as well. Observing a softening of the ring singularity, we also discuss the validity of classical energy conditions.

Localized Energy Estimates for Wave Equations on (1+4)-dimensional Myers-Perry Space-times
Localized energy estimates for the wave equation have been increasingly used to prove various other dispersive estimates. This article focuses on proving such localized energy estimates on (1+4)-dimensional Myers-Perry black hole backgrounds with small angular momenta. The Myers-Perry space-times are generalizations of higher dimensional Kerr backgrounds where additional planes of rotation are ...
متن کاملBlack Holes in Higher Dimensions
We review black-hole solutions of higher-dimensional vacuum gravity and higher-dimensional supergravity theories. The discussion of vacuum gravity is pedagogical, with detailed reviews of Myers-Perry solutions, black rings, and solution-generating techniques. We discuss black-hole solutions of maximal supergravity theories, including black holes in anti-de Sitter space. General results and open...
متن کاملThe Semiclassical Instability of de Sitter Space
The recent observational evidence for a positive cosmological constant has renewed interest in the dynamics of de Sitter space. In particular, quantum gravity in de Sitter space is attracting new attention (see for example [2] and references therein). In this connection I would like to review in this lecture the effect of semiclassical instability of de Sitter space with respect to spontaneous ...

The issue of stability with respect to quantum fluctuations in the path integral approach to quantum gravity is a fundamental problem as important as quantum gravity itself. Due to the attractive nature of the gravitational field, we expect to find a lot of unstable physical configurations. Therefore one might worry about the stability of the ground state of quantum gravity. One generally accep...
متن کاملQuantization of the static space-times
A 4-dimensional Lorentzian static space-time is shown to be equivalent to 3-dimensional Euclidean gravity coupled to an imaginary massless scalar field. By quantizing canonically the coupling model in the framework of loop quantum gravity, we obtain a quantum theory which actually describes quantized static space-times. The Kinematical Hilbert space is the product of the Hilbert space of gravit...
