Dyonic black holes in nonlinear electrodynamics from Kaluza–Klein theory with a Gauss–Bonnet term

Five-dimensional Kaluza–Klein theory with an Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet Lagrangian induces nonlinear corrections to the four-dimensional Maxwell equations, which however remain second-order. Although these corrections do not have effect on the purely electric or magnetic monopole solutions for pointlike charges, they affect the dyonic solutions, smoothing the electric field at the origin for positive values of the Gauss–Bonnet coupling constant. We investigate these solutions in flat space, and then extend them in the presence of a minimal coupling to gravity, obtaining exact charged black hole solutions that generalize the Reissner–Nordström metric.

Nonsingular Black Holes in 4D Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet Gravity

Recently, several methods have been proposed to regularize a D→4 limit of Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet (EGB), leading to nontrivial gravitational dynamics in 4D. We present an exact nonsingular black hole solution in the 4D EGB gravity coupled to non-linear electrodynamics and analyze their thermodynamic properties to calculate precise expressions for the black hole mass, temperature, and entropy. Because of the magnetic charge, the thermodynamic quantities are corrected, and the Hawking–Page phase transition is achievable with diverges of the heat capacity at a larger critical radius r=r+C in comparison to the 5D counterpart where the temperature is maximum. Thus, we have a black hole with Cauchy and event horizons, and its evaporation leads to a thermodynamically stable extremal black hole remnant with vanishing temperature, and its size is larger than the 5D counterpart. The entropy does not satisfy the usual exact horizon Bekenstein–Hawking area law of general relativity with a logarithmic area correction term.

Thermodynamics of charged black holes with Maxwell and Born–Infeld fields in massive gravity theory

In the framework of massive gravity theory which is coupled to the Maxwell and Born–Infeld electrodynamics, we review derivation of the exact four-dimensional black hole solutions by use of a static and spherically symmetric geometry. The exact solutions are asymptotically AdS and show two-horizon, one-horizon, extreme and black holes without horizon. The Maxwell and Born–Infeld black hole solutions are compatible in the limit of large nonlinearity parameter and, both reduce to the Reissner–Nordström black hole in the absence of massive gravitons. By reviewing thermodynamic and conserved quantities, and making use of a Smarr-type mass formula, we check validity of the thermodynamical first law for both of Maxwell and Born–infeld black holes. We investigate thermal stability of the black holes by use of the canonical ensemble and geometrical approaches, separately. By calculating the specific heats and Ricci scalars of alternative thermodynamic metrics, we compare the results of geometrothermodynamics with those of canonical ensemble method. Also, we perform a global stability analysis by use of the grand canonical ensemble and noting the Gibbs free energy of the Maxwell and Born–Infeld black holes.

Reentrant phase transitions in Einstein-Maxwell-scalar black holes

We consider how scalar fields affect the thermodynamic behavior of charged anti-de Sitter (AdS) black holes. We specifically investigate a class of (3+1)-dimensional exact hairy charged AdS black hole solutions to Einstein-Maxwell-scalar gravity, whose stable ground state and finite horizon area in the zero temperature limit make it of particular interest. We find that the reverse isoperimetric inequality is satisfied for this class and that there exists an intermediate range of the charge that admits reentrant phase behavior, the first example of this type of phase behavior in (3+1) dimensions in a consistent theory.

Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity coupled to bumblebee field in four dimensional spacetime

We study Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity coupled to a bumblebee field which leads to a spontaneous Lorentz symmetry breaking in the gravitational sector. We obtain an exact black hole solution and a cosmological solution in four dimensional spacetime by a regularization scheme. We also obtain a Schwarzschild-like bumblebee black hole solution in D-dimensional spacetime. We find that the bumblebee field doesn't affect the locations of the black hole horizon, but only affects the gravitational potential. That is, its gravitational potential has a minimum value (negative) in the black hole interior and has a positive value 1+ℓ at short distance r→0. If the constant ℓ is large enough, then this kind of black hole is practically free from the singularity problem. The thermodynamics and phase transition are also studied. In a cosmological context, it is interesting that the Gauss-Bonnet term has no effect on the conservation of energy equation. A late-time expansion of de Sitter universe can be replicated in an empty space. The Gauss-Bonnet term and the bumblebee field can both actually act as a form of dark energy.

Bound orbits around charged black holes with exponential and logarithmic electrodynamics

We present exact black hole solutions endowed with magnetic charge coming from exponential and logarithmic nonlinear electrodynamics (NLED). Classically, we analyze the null and timelike geodesics, all of which contain both the bound and the scattering orbits. Using the effective geometry formalism, we found that photon can have nontrivial stable (both circular and non-circular) bound orbits. The noncircular bound orbits for the one-horizon case mostly take the form of precessed ellipse. For the extremal and three-horizon cases we find many-world orbits where photon crosses the outer horizon but bounces back without hitting the true (or second, respectively) horizon, producing the epicycloid and epitrochoid paths.Semiclassically, we investigate their Hawking temperature, stability, and phase transition. The nonlinearity enables black hole stability with smaller radius than its RN counterpart. However, for very-strong nonlinear regime, the thermodynamic behavior tends to be Schwarzschild-like.

Exploring the black hole spectrum of axionic Horndeski theory

We provide a ``user-friendly'' algorithm to systematically and rapidly obtain exact planar black hole solutions in the Einstein-Maxwell theory deformed by the most general shift- and reflection-symmetric Horndeski sector where the usual Galileon is replaced by a tuple of scalars with profiles linear in the coordinates of the transverse manifold. Under precise assumptions, these axion backgrounds break the translational invariance of the system, causing momentum dissipation in the holographically dual field theory. The success of the method relies on the simple realization that the bulk equations of motion become more tractable when written in terms of the axions kinetic terms, instead of the radial coordinate. Showcasing this particularly efficient recipe, we derive novel asymptotically AdS black holes, and show that their extremal counterparts always flow to an $\mathrm{AdS}_2\times \mathbb{R}^2$ infrared fixed point. Additionally, we report an interesting family of new asymptotically Lifshitz black hole solutions with $z>1$. Finally, we discuss the DC transport properties of the dual relativistic field theories in view of possible applications to condensed matter systems.

Analytic topological hairy dyonic black holes and thermodynamics

We present and discuss a new family of topological hairy dyonic black hole solutions in asymptotically anti--de Sitter space. The coupled Einstein-Maxwell-scalar gravity system, that carries both the electric and magnetic charges is solved, and exact hairy dyonic black hole solutions are obtained analytically. The scalar field profiles that give rise to such black hole solutions are regular everywhere. The hairy solutions are obtained for planar, spherical, and hyperbolic horizon topologies. In addition, analytic expressions of regularized action, stress tensor, conserved charges, and free energies are obtained. We further comment on different prescriptions for computing the black hole mass with hairy backgrounds. We analyze the thermodynamics of these hairy dyonic black holes in canonical and grand canonical ensembles, and we find that both electric and magnetic charges have a constructive effect on the stability of the hairy solution. For the case of planar and hyperbolic horizons, we find thermodynamically stable hairy black holes that are favored at low temperatures compared to the nonhairy counterparts. We further find that, for a spherical hairy dyonic black hole, the thermodynamic phase diagram resembles to that of a Van der Waals fluid not only in canonical but also in the grand canonical ensemble.

Formula omitted] AdS Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet black hole with Yang–Mills field and its thermodynamics

We derive an exact black hole solution for the Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet gravity with Yang–Mills field in 4D AdS spacetime and investigate its thermodynamic properties to calculate exact expressions for the black hole mass, temperature, entropy and heat capacity. The thermodynamic quantities get modification in the presence of Yang–Mills field, however, entropy remains unaffected by the Yang–Mills charge. The solution exhibits P−v criticality and belongs to the universality class of Van der Waals fluid. We study the effect of Gauss–Bonnet coupling and Yang–Mills charge on the critical behaviour and black hole phase transition. We observe that the values of critical exponents increase with the Yang–Mills charge and decrease with the Gauss–Bonnet coupling constant.

Exact black hole solutions with a conformally coupled scalar field and dynamic Ricci curvature in f(R) gravity theories

We report exact black hole solutions in asymptotically flat or (A)dS four-dimensional spacetime with a conformally coupled self-interacting scalar field in f(R) gravity. We first consider the asymptotically flat model f(R) = R -2alpha sqrt{R} and derive an exact black hole solution. Then, we consider the asymptotically (A)dS model f(R) =R -2 Lambda -2 alpha sqrt{R-4 Lambda } and derive an exact black hole solution. In both cases the modified gravity parameter alpha , which has the dimension of the inverse mass, cannot be set to zero and the self-interacting potential is determined from the Klein–Gordon equation, preserving the conformal invariance. The thermodynamics of the solutions is also studied.

Black holes with many horizons in the theories of nonlinear electrodynamics

In this article, we construct exact black hole solutions with many horizons (more than two) in the Einstein-nonlinear electrodynamic theories. In particular, we acquire the explicit expression of a nonlinear electrodynamic Lagrangian for the 3-horizon black holes. Then we make the investigations of three-horizon black holes on the horizons, the null and timelike geodesics, the Love numbers, and the thermodynamics.

Three-dimensional massive Kiselev AdS black hole and its thermodynamics

We present an exact three-dimensional massive Kiselev AdS black hole solution. This Kiselev black hole is neither perfectly fluid, nor is it the quintessential solution, but the BTZ black hole modified by the anisotropic matter. This black hole possesses an essential singularity at its radial origin and a single horizon whose radius will increase monotonically when the parameter of the anisotropic matter field ω decreases. We calculate all thermodynamic quantities and find that the first law of thermodynamics of this massive Kiselev AdS black hole can be protected, while the consistent Smarr formula is only held in the extended thermodynamic phase space. After examining the sign of free energy, we conclude that there is no Hawking-Page transition since the massive Kiselev AdS black hole phase is always thermodynamically favored. Moreover, we study the phase transition between the Kiselev AdS black hole and BTZ black hole by considering the matchings for their temperature. We find that the Kiselev AdS black hole is still a thermodynamically more preferred phase, because it always has a smaller amount of free energy than the BTZ black hole, which seems to indicate that the anisotropic matter field may emerge naturally in BTZ black hole spacetime under some thermal fluctuations. We also show a first order phase transition between the Kiselev AdS black hole phase with and the black hole phase with . As the Kiselev AdS black hole has some notable features on the phase transition of black holes in three dimensions, it provides important clues to further investigate these both surprising and similar behaviors in four and higher dimensions.

Charged black hole and radiating solutions in entangled relativity

In this manuscript, we show that the external Schwarzschild metric can be a good approximation of exact black hole solutions of entangled relativity. Since entangled relativity cannot be defined from vacuum, the demonstrations need to rely on the definition of matter fields. The electromagnetic field being the easiest (and perhaps the only) existing matter field with infinite range to consider, we study the case of a charged black hole – for which the solution of entangled relativity and a dilaton theory agree – as well as the case of a pure radiation – for which the solution of entangled relativity and general relativity seem to agree, despite an apparent ambiguity in the field equations. Based on these results, we argue that the external Schwarzschild metric is an appropriate mathematical idealization of a spherical black hole in entangled relativity. The extension to rotating cases is briefly discussed.

Exact solutions of Lifshitz black hole coupled with nonlinear electrodynamics Journal of Physics: Conference Series

In the paper, we find an exact black hole solution in Lifshitz space time coupled with nonlinear electrodynamics and investigate their thermodynamic quantities connected with the black hole in term of horizon radius. This black hole solution interpolates with the Lifshitz black hole in the absence of magnetic monopole charge and Bardeen black hole when z = 0.

Constructing black holes in Einstein–Maxwell-scalar theory

Exact black hole solutions in the Einstein–Maxwell-scalar theory are constructed. They are the extensions of dilaton black holes in de Sitter or anti de Sitter universe. As a result, except for a scalar potential, a coupling function between the scalar field and the Maxwell invariant is present. Then the corresponding Smarr formula and the first law of thermodynamics are investigated.

Exact holographic RG flows in extended SUGRA

We present a family of exact planar hairy neutral black hole solutions in extended supergravity with Fayet-Iliopoulos (FI) terms. We consider a model where the magnetic part of FI sector vanishes and obtain the superpotential at finite temperature in analytic form. Then, we discuss the thermodynamics and some holographic properties of these solutions. We regularize the action by two different methods, one with gravitational and scalar counterterms and the other using the thermal superpotential as a counterterm, and compute the holographic stress tensor. We also construct the c-function of the corresponding RG flow and obtain an exact holographic β-function for this model.

Exact charged black hole solutions in D-dimensions in f(R) gravity

We consider Maxwell-f(R) gravity and obtain an exact charged black hole solution with dynamic curvature in D-dimensions. Considering a spherically symmetric metric ansatz and without specifying the form of f(R) we find a general black hole solution in D-dimensions. This general black hole solution can reduce to the Reissner–Nordström (RN) black hole in D-dimensions in Einstein gravity and to the known charged black hole solutions with constant curvature in f(R) gravity. Restricting the parameters of the general solution we get polynomial solutions which reveal novel properties when compared to RN black holes. Specifically we study the solution in (3+1)-dimensions in which the form of f(R) can be solved explicitly giving a dynamic curvature and compare it with the RN black hole. We also carry out a detailed study of its thermodynamics.

Black holes of ( 2+1 )-dimensional f(R) gravity coupled to a scalar field

We consider $f(R)$ gravity theories in the presence of a scalar field minimally coupled to gravity with a self-interacting potential in $(2+1)$-dimensions. Without specifying the form of the $f(R)$ function, we first obtain an exact black hole solution dressed with scalar hair with the scalar charge to appear in the $f(R)$ function and we discuss its thermodynamics. This solution at large distances gives a hairy BTZ black hole, and it reduces to the BTZ black hole when the scalar field decouples. In a pure $f(R)$ gravity supported by the scalar field, we find an exact hairy black hole similar to the BTZ black hole with phantom hair and an analytic $f(R)$ form and discuss its thermodynamics.

Signatures of Einstein-Maxwell dilaton-axion gravity from the observed jet power and the radiative efficiency

The Einstein-Maxwell dilaton-axion (EMDA) gravity arises in the low energy effective action of the heterotic string theory and provides a simple framework to explore the signatures of the same. The dilaton and the axion fields inherited in the action from string compactifications have interesting consequences in inflationary cosmology and in explaining the present accelerated expansion of the universe. It is therefore worthwhile to search for the footprints of these fields in the available astrophysical observations. Since Einstein gravity is expected to receive quantum corrections in the high curvature domain, the near horizon regime of black holes seems to be the ideal astrophysical laboratory to test these deviations from general relativity. Exact, stationary and axisymmetric black hole solution in EMDA gravity corresponds to the Kerr-Sen spacetime which carries dilaton charge, while the angular momentum is sourced by the axion field. The ballistic jets and the peak emission of the continuum spectrum from the accretion disk are believed to be launched very close to the event horizon and hence should bear the imprints of the background spacetime. We compute the jet power and the radiative efficiency derived from the continuum spectrum in the Kerr-Sen background and compare them with the corresponding observations of microquasars. Our analysis reveals that Kerr black holes are more favored compared to Kerr-Sen black holes with dilaton charges.

Exponentially charged dilaton black holes in rainbow gravity

The explicit form of the field equations has been obtained by varying the action of the four-dimensional Einstein-dilaton gravity in the presence of the scalar-coupled exponential nonlinear electrodynamics. The exact black hole solutions of the field equations have been obtained in an energy-dependent spherically symmetric geometry. It has been found that the solution of the scalar field equation can be obtained by combining two Liouville potentials. We have introduced three types of exponentially charged dilatonic black holes and their thermodynamic properties have been studied noting the effects of rainbow functions. The impacts of rainbow functions on the conserved and thermodynamic quantities of the new black hole solutions have been explored. Through the Smarr mass formula, it has been demonstrated that the first law of black hole thermodynamics remains valid for either of the new rainbow black hole solutions. The quantum gravitational effects on the thermodynamic phase transition or thermal stability of the black holes have been studied by use of the canonical ensemble method. By calculating the black hole heat capacity, the type-1 and type-2 phase transition points and the conditions under which the exponentially charged rainbow black holes are locally stable have been identified.
