Abstract

Static spherically symmetric solutions to the Einstein-Dirac system were constructed numerically for the first time in 1999 by Finster, Smoller and Yau \cite{FSY1} in the case of two fermions. In 2020 this result was generalized by Leith, Hooley, Horne and Dritschel \cite{LHHD} to a system consisting of an even number $κ$ of fermions. They constructed solutions for $2\leqκ\leq 90$. The purpose of the present investigation is to compare the properties of static solutions of the Einstein-Dirac system with static solutions of the Einstein,-Vlasov system as the number of fermions increases, that is, for $2\leqκ\leq 180$. Since the Einstein-Vlasov system is a fully classical physical model, whereas the Einstein-Dirac system is semiclassical and thus has a quantum signature, this framework provides an excellent opportunity to study the transition from quantum to classical behaviour. It turns out that even for a comparatively small number of particles, the features of the solutions are remarkably similar. For both systems, we find highly relativistic solutions having a multi-peak structure with strikingly similar characteristics. We also investigate the maximum compactness ratio $\sup 2m/r$ of the solutions. The solutions of both systems share the fundamental properties regarding the maximum compactness ratio and obey the inequality derived in \cite{A2}. Furthermore, we investigate the sign of the pressure components of solutions of the Einstein-Dirac system. For small values of $κ$, there are regions where the radial pressure is negative. These regions disappear as $κ$ increases. This supports the interpretation we make as a transition from quantum to classical behaviour as the number of fermions increases.

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.
