Geodesically complete black holes in Lorentz-violating gravity

We present a systematic study of the geometric structure of non-singular spacetimes describing black holes in Lorentz-violating gravity. We start with a review of the definition of trapping horizons, and the associated notions of trapped and marginally trapped surfaces, and then study their significance in frameworks with modified dispersion relations. This leads us to introduce the notion of universally marginally trapped surfaces, as the direct generalization of marginally trapped surfaces for frameworks with infinite signal velocities (Hořava-like frameworks), which then allows us to define universal trapping horizons. We find that trapped surfaces cannot be generalized in the same way, and discuss in detail why this does not prevent using universal trapping horizons to define black holes in Hořava-like frameworks. We then explore the interplay between the kinematical part of Penrose’s singularity theorem, which implies the existence of incomplete null geodesics in the presence of a focusing point, and the existence of multiple different metrics. This allows us to present a complete classification of all possible geometries that neither display incomplete physical trajectories nor curvature singularities. Our main result is that not all classes that exist in frameworks in which all signal velocities are realized in Hořava-like frameworks. However, the taxonomy of geodesically complete black holes in Hořava-like frameworks includes diverse scenarios such as evaporating regular black holes, regular black holes bouncing into regular white holes, and hidden wormholes.

Phantom energy accretion onto a black hole in Hořava-Lifshitz gravity

In this Letter, we examine the phantom energy accretion onto a Kehagias-Sfetsos black hole in Ho$\check{r}$ava Lifshitz gravity. To discuss the accretion process onto the black hole, the equations of phantom flow near the black hole have been derived. It is found that mass of the black hole decreases because of phantom accretion. We discuss the conditions for critical accretion. Graphically, it has been found that the critical accretion phenomena is possible for different values of parameters. The results for the Schwarzschild black hole can be recovered in the limiting case.

A unified phase transition picture of the charged topological black hole in Hořava-Lifshitz gravity

Aiming at a unified phase transition picture of the charged topological black hole in Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity, we investigate this issue not only in canonical ensemble with the fixed charge case but also in grand-canonical ensemble with the fixed potential case. We firstly perform the standard analysis of the specific heat, the free energy and the Gibbs potential, and then study its geometrothermodynamics. It is shown that the local phase transition points not only witness the divergence of the specific heat, but also witness the minimum temperature and the maximum free energy or Gibbs potential. They also witness the divergence of the corresponding thermodynamic scalar curvature. No matter which ensemble is chosen, the metric constructed can successfully produce the behavior of the thermodynamic interaction and phase transition structure while other metrics failed to predict the phase transition point of the charged topological black hole in former literature. In grand-canonical ensemble, we have discovered the phase transition which has not been reported before. It is similar to the canonical ensemble in which the phase transition only takes place when $k=-1$. But it also has its unique characteristics that the location of the phase transition point depends on the value of potential, which is different from the canonical ensemble where the phase transition point is independent of the parameters. After an analytical check of Ehrenfest scheme, we find that the new phase transition is a second order one. It is also found that the thermodynamics of the black hole in Horava-Lifshitz gravity is quite different from that in Einstein gravity.

Area spectrum and thermodynamics of KS black holes in Hořava gravity

We investigate the area spectrum of Kehagias-Sfetsos black hole in Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity via modified adiabatic invariant $I=\oint p_i d q_i$ and Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization rule. We find that the area spectrum is equally spaced with a spacing of $ \Delta A=4 \pi l_p ^2$. We have also studied the thermodynamic behavior of KS black hole by deriving different thermodynamic quantities.

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

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.

Particle motion around black hole in Hořava-Lifshitz gravity

Analytical solutions of Maxwell equations around black hole immersed in external uniform magnetic field in the background of the Kehagias-Sfetsos (KS) asymptotically flat black hole solution of Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity have been found. Influence of magnetic field on effective potential of the radial motion of charged test particle around black hole immersed in external magnetic field in Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity has been investigated by using Hamilton-Jacobi method. Exact analytical solution for dependence of the minimal radius of the circular orbits $r_{\rm mc}$ from KS parameter $\omega$ for motion of test particle around spherical symmetric black hole in Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity has been derived. The critical values of the particle's angular momentum for captured particles by black hole in Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity have been obtained numerically. The comparison of the obtained numerical results with the astrophysical observational data on radii of the innermost stable circular orbits gives us the estimation of the parameter as $\omega \simeq 3.6 \cdot 10^{-24} {\rm cm}^{-2}$.

Lifshitz scalar, brick wall method, and generalized uncertainty principle in Hořava-Lifshitz gravity

Using the brick-wall method, we study statistical entropy for spherically symmetric black holes in Ho\ifmmode \check{r}\else \v{r}\fi{}ava-Lifshitz gravity. In particular, a Lifshitz scalar field is considered in order to incorporate foliation-preserving diffeomorphism, which eventually gives a modified dispersion relation. Finally, we obtain the area law without the UV cutoff for $z>3$ and discuss some of the consequences in connection with the generalized uncertainty principle.

Cardy-Verlinde Formula of Kehagias-Sfetsos Black Hole

In this paper, we have shown that the entropy of the Kehagias-Sfetsos black hole in Ho$\check{\textbf{r}}$ava-Lifshitz (HL) gravity can be expressed by the Cardy-Verlinde formula. The later is supposed to be an entropy formula of conformal field theory in any dimension.

Holographic superconductors with Hořava-Lifshitz black holes

We discuss the phase transition of planar black holes in Ho\ifmmode \check{r}\else \v{r}\fi{}ava-Lifshitz gravity by introducing a Maxwell field and a complex scalar field. We calculate the condensate of the charged operators in the dual conformal field theories when the mass square of the complex scalar field is ${m}^{2}=\ensuremath{-}2/{L}^{2}$ and ${m}^{2}=0$, respectively. We compute the electrical conductivity of the Ho\ifmmode \check{r}\else \v{r}\fi{}ava-Lifshitz superconductor in the probe approximation. In particular, it is found that there exists a spike in the conductivity for the case of the operator with scaling dimension one. These results are quite similar to those in the case of Schwarzschild-AdS black holes, which demonstrates that the holographic superconductivity is a robust phenomenon associated with asymptotic AdS black holes.

Topological black holes in Hořava-Lifshitz gravity

We find topological (charged) black holes whose horizon has an arbitrary constant scalar curvature $2k$ in Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz theory. Without loss of generality, one may take $k=1,0$ and -1. The black hole solution is asymptotically AdS with a nonstandard asymptotic behavior. Using the Hamiltonian approach, we define a finite mass associated with the solution. We discuss the thermodynamics of the topological black holes and find that the black hole entropy has a logarithmic term in addition to an area term. We find a duality in Hawking temperature between topological black holes in Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz theory and Einstein's general relativity: the temperature behaviors of black holes with $k=1, 0$ and -1 in Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz theory are respectively dual to those of topological black holes with $k=-1, 0$ and 1 in Einstein's general relativity. The topological black holes in Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz theory are thermodynamically stable.
