Abstract

Recently, scalarization of Schwarzschild black hole are extensively studied. In this work, we explore the scalarization of Taub-NUT black hole. The theory we consider is the extended scalar-tensor-Gauss-Bonnet theory, which admits Ricci-flat Taub-NUT black hole as a solution. An analysis of probe scalar field is carried out to identify the mass parameter and NUT parameter (m,n) where the hairy black holes start to emerge. Then, we use shooting method to construct the scalarized Taub-NUT black hole numerically. Being different from the Schwarzschild case, there exists two branches of new hairy black holes which are smoothly connected to each other. We calculate the entropy of scalarized black holes and compare it with the entropy of scalar-free Taub-NUT black holes, it turns out that the entropy of the new hairy black holes are larger than that of scalar-free black holes. A novel phenomena emerges in this system that the entropy of the black holes at the bifurcation point is constant for positive mass parameter. We then conjecture a maximal entropy bound for all the scalarized black hole whose mass parameter at the bifurcation point is greater than zero.

An upper bound on the minimum orbital period of black holes

Previous research has focused on establishing lower bounds on the minimum orbital period of black holes. In this work, we explore the complementary question of whether an upper bound exists for the minimum orbital period of black holes. We investigate the minimum orbital periods of three types of black holes: Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordström and Kerr-Newman black holes. We find that the minimum orbital period of these black holes is bounded by an upper limit $T_{min} \leqslant 6\sqrt{3}πM$, where $M$ is the black hole mass. Our results suggest that this upper bound on the minimum orbital period may be a general property in black hole spacetimes.

Bounds on the minimum orbital period in the background of 5-dimensional charged black holes

In this paper, we study the upper and lower bounds on the minimum orbital period of 5-dimensional charged black holes. Our results indicate that the upper bound of the minimum orbital period corresponds to non-charged black holes, while the lower bound is achieved in the case of maximally charged black holes. We further establish precise analytical expressions for the upper and lower bounds of the minimum orbital period. Our findings provide valuable insights into 5-dimensional charged black holes and help constrain theoretical gravity models.

Analysis of minimum orbital periods around d-dimensional charged black holes

This paper investigates the bounds on the minimum orbital period for test objects around d-dimensional charged black holes in asymptotically flat spacetimes. We derive the exact critical radius and the minimum orbital period. We then prove analytically that the minimum orbital period decreases strictly as the charge of the black hole increases. Thus, the upper limit is reached for an uncharged black hole, while the lower limit is attained for a maximally charged one, and the two bounds take the closed form $\frac{2π(d-2)}{d-3}[(d-2)M]^{\frac{1}{d-3}}\leqslant T_{min} \leqslant 2π\sqrt{\frac{d-1}{d-3}}\,[(d-1)M]^{\frac{1}{d-3}}$. Since the minimum period equals $2π$ times the shadow radius, the upper bound is equivalently a universal upper bound on the shadow radius. These results improve our understanding of dynamics around d-dimensional black holes and impose constraints on candidate gravity theories.
