Vacuum polarization of STU black holes and their subtracted geometry limit
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the vacuum polarization of a massless minimally coupled scalar field at the horizon of four-charge STU black holes. We compare the results for the standard asymptotically flat black holes and for the black holes obtained in the “subtracted limit”, both in the general static case and at the horizon pole for the general rotating case. The original and the subtracted results are identical only in the BPS limit, and have opposite sign in the extremal Kerr limit. We also compute the vacuum polarization on the static solutions that interpolate between both the original and the subtracted case through a solution-generating transformation and show that the vacuum polarization stays positive throughout the interpolating solution. In the appendix we provide a closed-form solution for the Green’s function on general (static or rotating) subtracted black hole geometries.

Plasma Expansion in the Geometry of a Collapsing Star
In 1975, following the work on the energetics of black holes, Damour and Ruffini pointed out the existence of the vacuum polarization process à là Sauter–Heisenberg–Euler–Schwinger around black holes endowed with electromagnetic structure (EMBHs), whose electric field strength exceeds the Schwinger critical value Ec = m 2 e c e~ , where c is the speed of light, e and me are electron charge and ...
متن کاملLyra Black Holes
Long ago, since 1951, Lyra proposed a modification of Riemannian geometry. Based on the Lyra's modification on Riemannian geometry, Sen and Dunn constructed a field equation which is analogous to Einstein's field equations. Further more, Sen and Dunn gave series type solution to the static vacuum field equations. Retaining only a few terms, we have shown that their solutions correspond to black...
متن کاملThe Dynamics of Very Special Black Holes
We show that the moduli space of supersymmetric black holes that arise in the five-dimensional N = 2 supergravity theory with any number of vector multiplets is a weak HKT manifold. The moduli metric is expressed in terms of a HKT potential which is determined by the associated very special geometry of the supergravity theory. As an example, we give explicitly the black hole moduli metric for t...
متن کاملThe Extreme Kerr Throat Geometry: A Vacuum Analog of AdS2 × S
We study the near horizon limit of a four dimensional extreme rotating black hole. The limiting metric is a completely nonsingular vacuum solution, with an enhanced symmetry group SL(2, R)×U(1). We show that many of the properties of this solution are similar to the AdS2×S geometry arising in the near horizon limit of extreme charged black holes. In particular, the boundary at infinity is a tim...
متن کاملProbing Matrix Black Holes
Black holes in matrix theory may consist of interacting clusters (correlated domains) which saturate the uncertainty principle. We show that this assumption qualitatively accounts for the thermodynamic properties of both charged and neutral black holes, and reproduces the asymptotic geometry seen by probes. The geometry of a spacetime, and in particular the causal structure, is naturally probed...
