Entropy of A Scalar Field In (3 + 1)-dimensional Taub-NUT Space-Time

Abstract

In this article we discuss a few aspects of the space-time description of fields and particles. In sectionn II and III we demonstrate that fields are as fundamental as particles. In section IV we discuss non-equivalence of the Schwarzschild coordinates and the Kruskal-Szekeres coordinates. In section V we discuss that it is not possible to define causal structure in discrete space-time manifolds. In App.B we show that a line is not just a collection of points and we will have to introduce one-dimensional line-intervals as fundamental geometric elements. Similar discussions are valid for area and volume-elements. In App.C and App.D we make a comparative study of Quantum Field Theory and Quantum Mechanics and contradictions associated with probabilistics interpretation of these theories with space-time dimensional analysis. In App.E and App.F we discuss the geometry of Robertson-Walker model and electrostatic behavior of dielectrics respectively. In Sup.I we discuss the regularity of Spin-Spherical harmonics and also derive an energy-spectrum which is free of back-reaction problem. In Sup.II we discuss that in general the integral version of Gauss's divergence law in Electrodynamics is not valid and rederive Gauss's law and Ampere's law. We also show that under duality transformation magnetic charge conservation law do not remain time reversal symmetric. In Sup.III we derive the complete equation for viscous compressible fluids and make a few comments regarding some cotradictions associated with boundary conditions for fluid dynamics. In Sup.IV we discuss a few aspects on double slit interference experiments. We conclude this article with a few questions in Sup.V.

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.
