Abstract

The slow-rotation approximation of Hartle is developed to a setting where a charged rotating fluid is present. The linearized Einstein-Maxwell equations are solved on the background of the Reissner-Nordstrom space-time in the exterior electrovacuum region. The theory is put to action for the charged generalization of the Wahlquist solution found by Garcia. The Garcia solution is transformed to coordinates suitable for the matching and expanded in powers of the angular velocity. The two domains are then matched along the zero pressure surface using the Darmois-Israel procedure. We prove a theorem to the effect that the exterior region is asymptotically flat if and only if the parameter C_{2}, characterizing the magnitude of an external magnetic field, vanishes. We obtain the form of the constant C_{2} for the Garcia solution. We conjecture that the Garcia metric cannot be matched to an asymptotically flat exterior electrovacuum region even to first order in the angular velocity. This conjecture is supported by a high precision numerical analysis.

Novel thermodynamic inequality for rotating AdS black holes

We propose a new thermodynamic inequality for stationary, asymptotically Anti-de Sitter rotating black holes, expressed in terms of their angular momentum, mass and thermodynamic volume as $ 4πJ^2/(3MV)<1 $. For the solutions considered, this inequality follows from the requirement that the thermodynamic identities admit a physical horizon with positive area. We examine Kerr(-Newman)-AdS, Kerr-Sen-AdS, pairwise-equal four-charge AdS black holes, charged rotating AdS black strings, and charged rotating AdS C-metrics, finding strong supporting evidence for the inequality across different horizon topologies. We then reformulate the inequality in terms of the underlying metric parameters and compare the resulting constraints with the corresponding regularity and horizon-existence conditions. This analysis shows that the proposed inequality has different physical content for different geometries. We further examine charged super-entropic black holes, for which the ultraspinning limit leads instead to a lower bound on the thermodynamic ratio. This result is consistent with the violation of the reverse isoperimetric inequality characteristic of super-entropic solutions. Moreover, when combined with the refined reverse isoperimetric inequality, the proposed bound ensures the physicality of the Kerr-AdS reference solution entering the refined bound and thereby yields the conventional reverse isoperimetric inequality. We also extend the proposed relation to higher dimensions and test it for singly spinning thin AdS black ring with nonspherical horizon topology, finding that the corresponding inequalities are satisfied throughout the thin-ring regime.

Varying Newton constant, entropy and the black hole evaporation law

We assume that the Newton potential of a spherically symmetric body of mass $M$ is $V=-G(M)Mr^{-1}$, where the Newton constant $G$ may depend on $M$. We insert this assumption in the Schwarzschild solution. We discuss varying $G$ in the black hole thermodynamics and black hole evaporation law. We extend the Bekenstein-Hawking formula $\hbar GS=\frac{1}{4}A$, where $S$ is the entropy and $ A$ the area, to a varying $G$. It is shown that if $G(M)$ is of the form of a power-law $G\simeq M^{-Γ}$ then $G(M)S\simeq A$ is still preserved but the evaporation law substantially depends on the function $G(M)$.

Relativistic mode sums for neutron-star tidal response

Time-dependent tidal interactions during the late inspiral of binary neutron stars encode valuable information about neutron-star structure, but systematically extending the familiar Newtonian mode-sum picture into full general relativity is nontrivial. In this paper, we develop a practical relativistic implementation of mode-sum tidal response for non-rotating neutron stars in Regge-Wheeler gauge. Using near-zone boundary conditions, we systematically define the interior tidal field, the relativistic overlap integrals, and the corresponding mode amplitudes. The good is that the dominant f-mode contribution is remarkably robust, reproducing the direct matching calculation to within $\sim 3$\% across the equations of state we consider. The bad is that the operator governing mode inner product is not positive definite on the full Regge-Wheeler-gauge function space, so the relativistic mode sum truncated at ${\cal{O}}(ω^2)$ is not expected to strictly converge to the direct matching solution. The subtle is that the tidal field inside the star is not unique, although this ambiguity has only a limited impact on the dominant f-mode response for the classes of extensions studied here. Our results establish the practical utility of relativistic mode-sum approximations, while making clear that their predictive power comes from a controlled low-mode description, rather than from a formally convergent strong-field expansion.
