The full computation of the renormalized expectation values $langlePhi^{2}rangle_{ren}$ and $langlehat{T}_{mu u}rangle_{ren}$ in 4D black hole interiors has been a long standing challenge, which has impeded the investigation of quantum effects on the internal structure of black holes for decades. Employing a recently developed mode sum renormalization scheme to numerically implement the point-splitting method, we report here the first computation of $langlePhi^{2}rangle_{ren}$ in Unruh state in the region inside the event horizon of a 4D Schwarzschild black hole. We further present its Hartle-Hawking counterpart, which we calculated using the same method, and obtain a fairly good agreement with previous results attained using an entirely different method by Candelas and Jensen in 1986. Our results further agree upon approaching the event horizon when compared with previous results calculated outside the black hole. Finally, the results we obtained for Hartle-Hawking state at the event horizon agree with previous analytical results published by Candelas in 1980. This work sets the stage for further explorations of $langlePhi^{2}rangle_{ren}$ and $langlehat{T}_{mu u}rangle_{ren}$ in 4D black hole interiors.
We simulate the behaviour of a Higgs-like field in the vicinity of a Schwarzschild black hole using a highly accurate numerical framework. We consider both the limit of the zero-temperature Higgs potential, and a toy model for the time-dependent evolution of the potential when immersed in a slowly cooling radiation bath. Through these numerical investigations, we aim to improve our understanding of the non-equilibrium dynamics of a symmetry breaking field (such as the Higgs) in the vicinity of a compact object such as a black hole. Understanding this dynamics may suggest new approaches for studying properties of scalar fields using black holes as a laboratory.
In this paper we have implemented quantum corrections for the Schwarzschild black hole metric using the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) in order to investigate the scattering process. We mainly compute, at the low energy limit, the differential scattering and absorption cross section by using the partial wave method. We determine the phase shift analytically and verify that these quantities are modified by the GUP. We found that due to the quantum corrections from the GUP the absorption is not zero as the mass parameter goes to zero. A numerical analysis has also been performed for arbitrary frequencies.
If general relativity is spontaneously induced, the black hole limit is governed by a phase transition which occurs precisely at the would have been horizon. The exterior Schwarzschild solution then connects with a novel core of vanishing spatial volume. The Kruskal structure, admitting the exact Hawking imaginary time periodicity, is recovered, with the conic defect defused at the origin, rather than at the horizon. The entropy stored inside textbf{any} interior sphere is universal, equal to a quarter of its surface area, thus locally saturating the t Hooft-Susskind holographic bound. The associated Komar mass and material energy functions are non-singular.
We derive explicit expressions for the two-point function of a massless scalar field in the interior region of a Reissner-Nordstrom black hole, in both the Unruh and Hartle-Hawking quantum states. The two-point function is expressed in terms of the standard $lmomega$ modes of the scalar field (those associated with a spherical harmonic $Y_{lm}$ and a temporal mode $e^{-iomega t}$), which can be conveniently obtained by solving an ordinary differential equation, the radial equation. These explicit expressions are the internal analogs of the well known results in the external region (originally derived by Christensen and Fulling), in which the two-point function outside the black hole is written in terms of the external $lmomega$ modes of the field. They allow the computation of $<Phi^{2}>_{ren}$ and the renormalized stress-energy tensor inside the black hole, after the radial equation has been solved (usually numerically). In the second part of the paper, we provide an explicit expression for the trace of the renormalized stress-energy tensor of a minimally-coupled massless scalar field (which is non-conformal), relating it to the dAlembertian of $<Phi^{2}>_{ren}$. This expression proves itself useful in various calculations of the renormalized stress-energy tensor.
We study the spectrum of the bound state perturbations in the interior of the Schwarzschild black hole for the scalar, electromagnetic and gravitational perturbations. Demanding that the perturbations to be regular at the center of the black hole determines the spectrum of the bound state solutions. We show that our analytic expression for the spectrum is in very good agreement with the imaginary parts of the high overtone quasi normal mode excitations obtained for the exterior region. We also present a simple scheme to calculate the spectrum numerically to good accuracies.
