Black hole mass and angular momentum in 2+1 gravity
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a new definition for the mass and angular momentum of neutral or electrically charged black holes in 2+1 gravity with two Killing vectors. These finite conserved quantities, associated with the SL(2, R) invariance of the reduced mechanical system, are shown to be identical to the quasilocal conserved quantities for an improved gravitational action corresponding to mixed boundary conditions. They obey a general Smarr-like formula and, in all cases investigated, are consistent with the first law of black hole thermodynamics. Our framework is applied to the computation of the mass and angular momentum of black hole solutions to several field-theoretical models. ∗Email: [email protected]

Spinning Down A Black Hole With Scalar Fields
The conventional view of black hole evaporation is that, regardless of its initial state, Hawking radiation will cause a black hole to approach an uncharged, zero angular momentum state long before all its mass has been lost. Thus, as the evolution nears the Planck scale, where quantum gravity will be required to determine its future development, the final asymptotic state is assumed to be desc...
متن کاملThe runaway instability of thick discs around black holes . II . Non constant angular momentum discs
We present results from a comprehensive number of relativistic, time-dependent, axisymmetric simulations of the runaway instability of non-constant angular momentum thick discs around black holes. This second paper in the series extends earlier results where only constant angular momentum discs were considered. All relevant aspects of the theory of stationary thick discs around rotating black h...
متن کاملSpinning Black Holes in (2 + 1)-dimensional String and Dilaton Gravity
We present a new class of spinning black hole solutions in (2+1)-dimensional general relativity minimally coupled to a dilaton with potential ebφΛ. When b = 4, the corresponding spinning black hole is a solution of low energy (2 + 1)-dimensional string gravity. Apart from the limiting case of the BTZ black hole, these spinning black holes have no inner horizon and a curvature singularity only a...
متن کامل2 00 3 Isolated Horizons in 2 + 1 Gravity
Using ideas employed in higher dimensional gravity, non-expanding, weakly isolated and isolated horizons are introduced and analyzed in 2+1 dimensions. While the basic definitions can be taken over directly from higher dimensions, their consequences are somewhat different because of the peculiarities associated with 2+1 dimensions. Nonetheless, as in higher dimensions, we are able to: i) analyz...
متن کاملBlack Saturn
Using the inverse scattering method we construct an exact stationary asymptotically flat 4+1-dimensional vacuum solution describing “black saturn”: a spherical black hole surrounded by a black ring. Angular momentum keeps the configuration in equilibrium. Black saturn reveals a number of interesting gravitational phenomena: (1) The balanced solution exhibits 2-fold continuous non-uniqueness for...
