Six-dimensional non-extremal Reissner-Nordstrom black hole, charged massive scalar perturbation and black hole bomb

The superradiant stability of higher dimensional non-extremal Reissner-Nordstrom black hole under charged massive scalar perturbation is analytically studied. We extend our previous studies of four- and five-dimensional non-extremal Reissner-Nordstrom black hole cases to six-dimensional case. By analyzing the derivative of the effective potential with an analytical method, we find that no potential well exists outside the outer horizon of the black hole for the superradiant scalar modes. This means that there is no black hole bomb for the system consisting of six-dimensional Reissner-Nordstrom black hole and charged massive scalar perturbation and the system is superradiantly stable.

Higher-dimensional non-extremal Reissner-Nordstrom black holes, scalar perturbation and superradiance: An analytical study

The superradiant stability of asymptotically flat higher dimensional non-extremal Reissner-Nordstrom black holes under charged massive scalar perturbation is analytically studied. We extend an analytical method developed by one of the authors in the extremal Reissner-Nordstrom black hole cases to non-extremal cases. Using the new analytical method, we revisit four-dimensional Reissner-Nordstrom black hole case and obtain that four-dimensional Reissner-Nordstrom black hole is superradiantly stable, which is consistent with results in previous works. We then analytically prove that the five-dimensional Reissner-Nordstrom black holes are also superradiantly stable under charged massive scalar perturbation. Our result implies that all higher dimensional non-extremal Reissner-Nordstrom black holes may be superradiantly stable under charged massive scalar perturbation.

Hawking Radiation-Quasinormal Modes Correspondence for Large AdS Black Holes

It is well-known that the nonstrictly thermal character of the Hawking radiation spectrum generates a natural correspondence between Hawking radiation and black hole quasinormal modes. This main issue has been analyzed in the framework of Schwarzschild black holes, Kerr black holes, and nonextremal Reissner-Nordstrom black holes. In this paper, by introducing the effective temperature, we reanalyze the nonstrictly thermal character of large AdS black holes. The results show that the effective mass corresponding to the effective temperature is approximatively the average one in any dimension. And the other effective quantities can also be obtained. Based on the known forms of frequency in quasinormal modes, we reanalyze the asymptotic frequencies of the large AdS black hole in three and five dimensions. Then we get the formulas of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and the horizon’s area quantization with functions of the quantum “overtone” number n.

Superradiantly stable non-extremal Reissner–Nordström black holes

The superradiant stability is investigated for non-extremal Reissner-Nordstrom black hole. We use an algebraic method to demonstrate that all non-extremal Reissner-Nordstrom black holes are superradiantly stable against a charged massive scalar perturbation. This improves the results obtained before for non-extremal Reissner-Nordstrom black holes.

The RN/CFT correspondence

Recently it has been shown in [S.M. Carroll, et al., arXiv:0901.0931 [hep-th]] that the approach to extremality for the non-extremal Reissner–Nordstrom black hole is not continuous. The non-extremal RN black hole splits into two spacetimes at the extremality: an extremal black hole and a disconnected AdS2×S2 space which has been called the “compactification solution”. As a possible resolution for understanding the entropy of extremal RN black hole, it has been speculated that the entropy of the non-extremal black hole may be carried by the latter solution. By uplifting the four-dimensional “compactification solution” with electric charge Qe to a five-dimensional solution, we show that this solution is dual to a CFT with central charge c=6Qe3. The Cardy formula then shows that the microscopic entropy of the CFT is the same as the macroscopic entropy of the “compactification solution”.

Extremal limits and black hole entropy

Taking the extremal limit of a non-extremal Reissner-Nordstrom black hole (by externally varying the mass or charge), the region between the inner and outer event horizons experiences an interesting fate — while this region is absent in the extremal case, it does not disappear in the extremal limit but rather approaches a patch of AdS_2 × S^2. In other words, the approach to extremality is not continuous, as the non-extremal Reissner-Nordstrom solution splits into two spacetimes at extremality: an extremal black hole and a disconnected AdS space. We suggest that the unusual nature of this limit may help in understanding the entropy of extremal black holes.

Hawking radiation as quantum tunneling in Rindler coordinate

We substantiate the Hawking radiation as quantum tunneling of fields or particles crossing the horizon by using the Rindler coordinate. The thermal spectrum detected by an accelerated particle is interpreted as quantum tunneling in the Rindler spacetime. Representing the spacetime near the horizon locally as a Rindler spacetime, we find the emission rate by tunneling, which is expressed as a contour integral and gives the correct Boltzmann factor. We apply the method to non-extremal black holes such as a Schwarzschild black hole, a non-extremal Reissner-Nordstrom black hole, a charged Kerr black hole, a de Sitter space, and a Schwarzschild-anti de Sitter black hole.

Two-dimensional dilaton gravity coupled to an Abelian gauge field.

The most general two-dimensional dilaton gravity theory coupled to an Abelian gauge field is considered. It is shown that, up to spacetime diffeomorphisms and $U(1)$ gauge transformations, the field equations admit a two-parameter family of distinct, static solutions. For theories with black hole solutions, coordinate invariant expressions are found for the energy, charge, surface gravity, Hawking temperature and entropy of the black holes. The Hawking temperature is proportional to the surface gravity as expected, and both vanish in the case of extremal black holes in the generic theory. A Hamiltonian analysis of the general theory is performed, and a complete set of (global) Dirac physical observables is obtained. The theory is then quantized using the Dirac method in the WKB approximation. A connection between the black hole entropy and the imaginary part of the WKB phase of the Dirac quantum wave functional is found for arbitrary values of the mass and $U(1)$ charge. The imaginary part of the phase vanishes for extremal black holes and for eternal, non-extremal Reissner-Nordstrom black holes.
