Rotating (A)dS black holes in bigravity

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates that Kerr-(A)dS black holes are exact solutions in ghost-free bigravity using the Kerr-Schild Ansatz, extending previous flat spacetime results to include cosmological constants.

Contribution

It introduces a novel application of the Kerr-Schild Ansatz to (A)dS spacetimes in bigravity, deriving new exact rotating black hole solutions with distinct masses.

Findings

Kerr-(A)dS black holes are solutions in bigravity.

The solutions have the same angular momentum and (A)dS radius but different masses.

The Kerr-Schild Ansatz simplifies the derivation of these solutions.

Abstract

In this paper we explore the advantage of using the Kerr-Schild Ansatz in the search of analytic configurations to bigravity. It turns out that it plays a crucial role by providing means to straightforwardly calculate the square root matrix encoding the interaction terms between both gravities. We rederive in this spirit the Babichev-Fabbri family of asymptotically flat rotating black holes with the aid of an emerging circularity theorem. Taking into account that the interaction terms contain by default two cosmological constants, we repeat our approach starting from the more natural seeds for the Kerr-Schild Ansatz in this context: the (A)dS spacetimes. As result, we show that a couple of Kerr-(A)dS black holes constitute an exact solution to ghost free bigravity. These black holes share the same angular momentum and (A)dS radius but their masses are not constrained to be equal, similarly to the asymptotically flat case.
