Internal structure and its connection with thermodynamics and dynamics in black holes

Abstract

In general, a finite metric function at the center of a black hole describes a non-singular spacetime but an infinite metric at the center gives a singular spacetime, where the former is associated with convergent Ricci and Kretschmann scalars together with complete radial geodesics, while the latter is related to divergent Ricci and Kretschmann scalars together with incomplete radial geodesics. For the charged black hole in the four-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory, we find that its metric function is finite at its center in one region of parameters but complex in the other region of parameters. The finite case describes a strange spacetime which presents the Ricci and Kretschmann scalars of a singular spacetime and the radial geodesics of a non-singular spacetime, while the complex case gives rise to the similar situation. We verify that the cosmic censorship conjecture is maintained for the black hole model. Further, we investigate the second-order phase transition, quasinormal modes of perturbation of a test scalar field in the eikonal limit, and shadow radius for the black hole and find that the thermodynamic and dynamic properties depend on the metrics. In this way, we connect the internal structure with the thermodynamics and dynamics for this black hole. Moreover, we compare such a black hole of modified gravity with the Reissner-Nordström black hole of Einstein's general relativity in these thermodynamic and dynamic properties.
