Energy extraction and particle acceleration around a rotating black hole in Hořava-Lifshitz gravity

Abstract

Penrose process on rotational energy extraction of the black hole (BH) in the original non-projectable Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity is studied. The strong dependence of the extracted energy from the special range of parameters of the Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity, such as parameter $\Lambda_W$ and specific angular momentum $a$ has been found. Particle acceleration near the rotating BH in Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity has been studied. It is shown that the fundamental parameter of the Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity can impose limitation on the the energy of the accelerating particles preventing them from the infinite value.
