We use Heun type solutions given in cite{Suzuki} for the radial Teukolsky equation, written in the background metric of the Kerr-Newman-de Sitter geometry, to calculate the quasinormal frequencies for polynomial solutions and the reflection coefficient for waves coming from the de Sitter horizon and reflected at the outer horizon of the black hole.
Gaussian curvature of the two-surface r=0, t=const is calculated for the Kerr-de Sitter and Kerr-Newman-de Sitter solutions, yielding non-zero analytical expressions for both the cases. The results obtained, on the one hand, exclude the possibility for that surface to be a disk and, on the other hand, permit one to establish a correct geometrical interpretation of that surface for each of the two solutions.
Combining with the small-large black hole phase transition, the thermodynamic geometry has been well applied to study the microstructure for the charged AdS black hole. In this paper, we extend the geometric approach to the rotating Kerr-AdS black hole and aim to develop a general approach for the Kerr-AdS black hole. Treating the entropy and pressure as the fluctuation coordinates, we construct the Ruppeiner geometry for the Kerr-AdS black hole by making the use of the Christodoulou-Ruffini-like squared-mass formula, which is quite different from the charged case. Employing the empirical observation of the corresponding scalar curvature, we find that, for the near-extremal Kerr-AdS black hole, the repulsive interaction dominates among its microstructure. While for far-from-extremal Kerr-AdS black hole, the attractive interaction dominates. The critical phenomenon is also observed for the scalar curvature. These results uncover the characteristic microstructure of the Kerr-AdS black hole. Such general thermodynamic geometry approach is worth generalizing to other rotating AdS black holes, and more interesting microstructure is expected to be discovered.
We develop a formalism to treat higher order (nonlinear) metric perturbations of the Kerr spacetime in a Teukolsky framework. We first show that solutions to the linearized Einstein equation with nonvanishing stress tensor can be decomposed into a pure gauge part plus a zero mode (infinitesimal perturbation of the mass and spin) plus a perturbation arising from a certain scalar (Debye-Hertz) potential, plus a so-called corrector tensor. The scalar potential is a solution to the spin $-2$ Teukolsky equation with a source. This source, as well as the tetrad components of the corrector tensor, are obtained by solving certain decoupled ordinary differential equations involving the stress tensor. As we show, solving these ordinary differential equations reduces simply to integrations in the coordinate $r$ in outgoing Kerr-Newman coordinates, so in this sense, the problem is reduced to the Teukolsky equation with source, which can be treated by a separation of variables ansatz. Since higher order perturbations are subject to a linearized Einstein equation with a stress tensor obtained from the lower order perturbations, our method also applies iteratively to the higher order metric perturbations, and could thus be used to analyze the nonlinear coupling of perturbations in the near-extremal Kerr spacetime, where weakly turbulent behavior has been conjectured to occur. Our method could also be applied to the study of perturbations generated by a pointlike body traveling on a timelike geodesic in Kerr, which is relevant to the extreme mass ratio inspiral problem.
A class of exact solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations is presented which describes an accelerating and rotating charged black hole in an asymptotically de Sitter or anti-de Sitter universe. The metric is presented in a new and convenient form in which the meaning of the parameters is clearly identified, and from which the physical properties of the solution can readily be interpreted.
Creation of thermal distribution of particles by a black hole is independent of the detail of gravitational collapse, making the construction of the eternal horizons suffice to address the problem in asymptotically flat spacetimes. For eternal de Sitter black holes however, earlier studies have shown the existence of both thermal and non-thermal particle creation, originating from the non-trivial causal structure of these spacetimes. Keeping this in mind we consider this problem in the context of a quasistationary gravitational collapse occurring in a $(3+1)$-dimensional eternal de Sitter, settling down to a Schwarzschild- or Kerr-de Sitter spacetime and consider a massless minimally coupled scalar field. There is a unique choice of physically meaningful `in vacuum here, defined with respect to the positive frequency cosmological Kruskal modes localised on the past cosmological horizon ${cal C^-}$, at the onset of the collapse. We define our `out vacuum at a fixed radial coordinate `close to the future cosmological horizon, ${cal C^+}$, with respect to positive frequency outgoing modes written in terms of the ordinary retarded null coordinate, $u$. We trace such modes back to ${cal C^-}$ along past directed null geodesics through the collapsing body. Some part of the wave will be reflected back without entering it due to the greybody effect. We show that these two kind of traced back modes yield the two temperature spectra and fluxes subject to the aforementioned `in vacuum. Since the coordinate $u$ used in the `out modes is not well defined on a horizon, estimate on how `close we might be to ${cal C^+}$ is given by estimating backreaction. We argue no other reasonable choice of the `out vacuum would give rise to any thermal spectra. Our conclusions remain valid for all non-Nariai class black holes, irrespective of the relative sizes of the two horizons.
