Extended black hole solutions in Rastall theory of gravity

Abstract

We utilize the gravitational decoupling via the extended geometric deformation to extend the Schwarzschild vacuum solution to new black holes in Rastall theory. By employing linear transformations that deform both the temporal and radial coefficients of the metric, the field equations with a dual matter source are successfully decoupled into two sets. The first of these sets is described by the metric for the vacuum Schwarzschild spacetime, while the second set corresponds to the added extra source. Three extended solutions are obtained using two restrictions on the metric potentials and extra source, respectively. For selected values of the Rastall and decoupling parameters, we study the impact of the fluctuation of these parameters on the obtained models. We also investigate the asymptotic flatness of the resulting spacetimes by analysis of the metric coefficients. Finally, the nature of the additional source is explored for each model, via analysis of the energy conditions. It is found among other results that none of the obtained models satisfy the energy conditions, while only the model corresponding to the barotropic equation of state mimics an asymptotically flat spacetime.
