1 Introduction
In this paper we extend our previous work [1] devoted to dilatonic dyon black hole solutions. We note that at present there exists a certain interest in spherically symmetric solutions, e.g. black hole and black brane ones, related to Lie algebras and Toda chains, see [2]-[27] and the references therein. These solutions appear in gravitational models with scalar fields and antisymmetric forms.
Here we consider a subclass of dilatonic black hole solutions with electric and magnetic charges and , respectively, in the model with metric , scalar field , two 2-forms and , corresponding to two dilatonic coupling constants and , respectively. All fields are defined on an oriented manifold . Here we consider the dyon-like configuration for fields of 2-forms:
[TABLE]
where is volume form on 2-dimensional sphere and is the Hodge operator corresponding to the oriented manifold with the metric . We call this noncomposite configuration a dyon-like one in order to distinguish it from the true dyon configuration which is essentially composite and may be chosen in our case either as: (i) , , or (ii) , . From a physical point of view the ansatz (1.1) means that we deal here with a charged black hole, which has two color charges: and . The charge is the electric one corresponding to the form , while the charge is the magnetic one corresponding to the form . For coinciding dilatonic couplings we get a trivial noncomposite generalization of dilatonic dyon black hole solutions in the model with one 2-form which was considered in ref. [1], see also [4, 9, 10, 13, 22, 27] and references therein.
The dilatonic scalar field may be either an ordinary one or a phantom (or ghost) one. The phantom field appears in the action with a kinetic term of the “wrong sign”, which implies the violation of the null energy condition . According to ref. [28], at the quantum level, such fields could form a “ghost condensate”, which may be responsible for modified gravity laws in the infra-red limit. The observational data do not exclude this possibility [29].
Here we seek relations for the physical parameters of dyonic-like black holes, e.g. bounds on the gravitational mass and the scalar charge . As in our previous work [1] this problem is solved here up to a conjecture, which states a one-to-one (smooth) correspondence between the pair , where is the electric charge and is the magnetic charge, and the pair of positive parameters , which appear in decomposition of moduli functions at large distances. This conjecture is believed to be valid for all in the case of an ordinary scalar field and for for the case of a phantom scalar field (in both cases the inequality is assumed).
2 Black hole dyon solutions
Let us consider a model governed by the action
[TABLE]
where is metric, is the scalar field, is the -form with , , , is the gravitational constant, are coupling constants obeying and . Here we also put , , for . For the Lagrangian (2) appears in the gravitational model with a scalar field and Yang-Mills field with a gauge group of rank (say ) when an Abelian sector of the gauge field is considered.
We consider a family of dyonic-like black hole solutions to the field equations corresponding to the action (2) which are defined on the manifold
[TABLE]
and have the following form
[TABLE]
Here and are (colored) charges – electric and magnetic, respectively, is the extremality parameter, is the canonical metric on the unit sphere (, ), is the standard volume form on ,
[TABLE]
, and
[TABLE]
The functions obey the equations
[TABLE]
with the following boundary conditions imposed:
[TABLE]
for , and
[TABLE]
for , .
In (2.9) we denote
[TABLE]
where is defined in (2.8) and
[TABLE]
These solutions may be obtained just by using general formulas for non-extremal (intersecting) black brane solutions from [18, 19, 20] (for a review see [21]). The composite analogs of the solutions with one 2-form and were presented in ref. [1].
The first boundary condition (2.10) guarantees (up to a possible additional requirement on the analyticity of in the vicinity of ) the existence of a (regular) horizon at for the metric (2.5). The second condition (2.11) ensures asymptotical (for ) flatness of the metric.
Remark 1. It should be noted that the main motivation for considering this and more general models governed by the Lagrangian density :
[TABLE]
where is a set of scalar fields, are 2 forms and are dilatonic coupling vectors, , is coming from dimensional reduction of supergravity models; in this case the matrix is positive definite. For example, one may consider a part of bosonic sector of dimensionally reduced supergravity [15] with dilatonic scalar fields and -forms (either originating from 11d metric or coming from -form) activated; Chern-Simons terms vanish in this case. Certain uplifts (to higher dimensions) of 4d black hole solutions corresponding to (2.14) may lead us to black brane solutions in dimensions , e.g. to dyonic ones; see [15, 16, 19, 23, 24] and the references therein. The dimensional reduction from the 12-dimensional model from ref. [30] with phantom scalar field and two forms of rank and will lead us to the Lagrangian density (2.14) with the matrix of pseudo-Euclidean signature.
Equations (2.9) may be rewritten in the following form:
[TABLE]
. Here and in the following we use the following notations: , , and for , respectively. We are seeking solutions to equations (2.15) for obeying
[TABLE]
where are finite (real) numbers, . Here (or, more precisely ) corresponds to infinity (), while (or, more rigorously, ) corresponds to the horizon ().
Equations (2.15) with conditions of the finiteness on the horizon (2.17) imposed imply the following integral of motion:
[TABLE]
Equations (2.15) and (2.17) appear for special solutions to Toda-type equations [19, 20, 21]
[TABLE]
for functions
[TABLE]
, depending on the harmonic radial variable : , with the following asymptotical behavior for (on the horizon) imposed:
[TABLE]
where are constants, . Here and in the following we denote
[TABLE]
where the inverse matrix is well defined due to . This follows from the relations
[TABLE]
where , and the invertibility of the matrix for , due to the relation .
The energy integral of motion for (2.19), which is compatible with the asymptotic conditions (2.21),
[TABLE]
leads to eq. (2.18).
Remark 2. The derivation of the solutions (2.5)-(2.6), (2.9)-(2.11) may be extracted from the relations of [18, 19, 20], where the solutions with a horizon were obtained from general spherically symmetric solutions governed by Toda-like equations. These Toda-like equations contain a non-trivial part corresponding to a non-degenerate (quasi-Cartan) matrix . In our case these equations are given by (2.19) with the matrix from (2.23) and the condition implies . The master equations (2.9) are equivalent to these Toda-like equations. Fortunately, for and the solution does exist. It obeys eqs. (2.5)-(2.6) and (2.9)-(2.11) with , , where and satisfies , . For the solution reads:
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
*We have verified this solution by using MATHEMATICA. It is also valid for and . *
3 Some integrable cases
Explicit analytical solutions to eqs. (2.9), (2.10), (2.11) do not exist. One may try to seek the solutions in the form
[TABLE]
where are constants, and , but only in few integrable cases the chain of equations for is dropped.
For , there exist at least four integrable configurations related to the Lie algebras , , and .
3.1 -case
Let us consider the case and
[TABLE]
We obtain
[TABLE]
For we get a dilatonic coupling corresponding to string induced model. The matrix (3.2) is the Cartan matrix for the Lie algebra (). In this case
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
. For positive roots of (3.5)
[TABLE]
we are led to a well-defined solution for with asymptotically flat metric and horizon at . We note that in the case the -dyon solution has a composite analog which was considered earlier in [7, 9]; see also [14] for certain generalizations.
3.2 -case
Now we put and
[TABLE]
We get
[TABLE]
This value of dilatonic coupling constant appears after reduction to four dimensions of the 5d Kaluza-Klein model. We get and (3.7) is the Cartan matrix for the Lie algebra . In this case we obtain [19]
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
().
In the composite case [1] the Kaluza-Klein uplift to gives us the well-known Gibbons-Wiltshire solution [5], which follows from the general spherically symmetric dyon solution (related to Toda chain) from ref. [4].
3.3 and cases
If we put and
[TABLE]
we also get integrable configurations for , corresponding to the Lie algebras and , respectively, with the degrees of polynomials and . From (2.8), (2.13) and (3.12) we get the following relations for the dilatonic couplings:
[TABLE]
or
[TABLE]
Solving eqs. (3.13) we get for and for . The solution to eqs. (3.14) is given by permutation of and .
The exact black hole (dyonic-like) solutions for Lie algebras and will be analyzed in detail in separate publications. They do not exist for the case . We note that for the case () the polynomials , , were calculated in [31].
3.4 Special solution with two dependent charges
There exists also a special solution
[TABLE]
with obeying
[TABLE]
. Here is defined in (2.22). This solution is a special case of more general “block orthogonal” black brane solutions [32, 33, 34].
The calculations give us the following relations:
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
where and , respectively. Our solution is well defined if , i.e. the two coupling constants have the same sign.
For positive roots of (3.18)
[TABLE]
we get for a well-defined solution with asymptotically flat metric and horizon at . It should be noted that this special solution is valid for both signs . We have
[TABLE]
where with from (3.19) and
[TABLE]
By changing the radial variable, , we get
[TABLE]
where , and = .
The metric in these variables is coinciding with the well-known Reissner-Nordström metric governed by two parameters: and . We have two horizons in this case. Electric and magnetic charges are not independent but obey eqs. (3.23).
3.5 The limiting -cases
In the following we will use two limiting solutions: an electric one with and ,
[TABLE]
and a magnetic one with and ,
[TABLE]
In both cases . These solutions correspond to the Lie algebra . In various notations the solution (3.26) appeared earlier in [2, 6, 7], and it was extended to the multidimensional case in [6, 7, 11, 12]. The special case with , , was considered earlier in [3, 8].
4 Physical parameters
Here we consider certain physical parameters corresponding to the solutions under consideration.
4.1 Gravitational mass and scalar charge
For ADM gravitational mass we get from (2.5)
[TABLE]
where the parameters appear in eq. (3.1) and is the gravitational constant.
The scalar charge just follows from (2.5):
[TABLE]
For the special solution (3.15) with we get
[TABLE]
For fixed charges and the extremality parameter the mass and scalar charge are not independent but obey a certain constraint. Indeed, for fixed parameters in (3.1) we get
[TABLE]
for , which after substitution into (2.18) gives (for ) the following identity:
[TABLE]
By using eqs. (4.1) and (4.2) this identity may be rewritten in the following form:
[TABLE]
It is remarkable that this formula does not contain . We note that in the extremal case this relation for was obtained earlier in [13].
4.2 The Hawking temperature and entropy
The Hawking temperature corresponding to the solution is found to be
[TABLE]
where are defined in (2.10). Here and in the following we put .
For special solutions (3.15) with we get
[TABLE]
In this case the Hawking temperature does not depend upon and , when and (or ) are fixed.
The Bekenstein-Hawking (area) entropy , corresponding to the horizon at , where is the horizon area, reads
[TABLE]
It follows from (4.7) and (4.9) that the product
[TABLE]
does not depend upon , and the charges . This product does not use an explicit form of the moduli functions .
4.3 PPN parameters
Introducing a new radial variable by the relation (), we obtain the 3-dimensionally conformally flat form of the metric (2.5)
[TABLE]
where () and
[TABLE]
The parametrized post-Newtonian (PPN) parameters and are defined by the following standard relations:
[TABLE]
, where is Newton’s potential, is the gravitational constant and is the gravitational mass (for our case see (4.1)).
The calculations of PPN (or Eddington) parameters for the metric (4.11) give the same result as in [22]:
[TABLE]
These parameters do not depend upon and . They may be calculated just without knowledge of the explicit relations for the moduli functions .
These parameters (at least formally) obey the observational restrictions for the solar system [35], when are small enough.
5 Bounds on mass and scalar charge
Here we outline the following hypothesis, which is supported by certain numerical calculations [1, 36]. For this conjecture was proposed in ref. [1].
Conjecture. For any , , , , and : (A) the moduli functions , which obey (2.9), (2.10) and (2.11), are uniquely defined and hence the parameters , , the gravitational mass and the scalar charge are uniquely defined too; (B) the parameters , are positive and the functions , define a diffeomorphism of (); (C) in the limiting case we have: (i) for : , and (ii) for : , .
The conjecture could be readily verified for the case , . Another integrable case , , is more involved [36].
The conjecture implies the following proposition.
Proposition 1. For , , () and we have the following bounds on the gravitational mass and the scalar charge :
[TABLE]
for and
[TABLE]
*for . Here , , and ; for and for *.
Here we illustrate the bounds on and graphically by four figures, which represent a set of physical parameters and for and .
The left panel of Fig. 1 corresponds to the case , and , while the right panel of this figure describes the case , and .
On Fig. 2 the left panel illustrates the case , and , while the right panel represents the case , and .
Two arcs on the left panels of Figs. 1 and 2 contain the points with corresponding to the special solution from Sect. 3.4.
In proving Proposition 1 we use the following lemma.
Lemma. Let
[TABLE]
*be a function of two variables and with fixed value of . Then: (i) for fixed value of the function is monotonically increasing with respect to ; (ii) for fixed value of the function is monotonically increasing with respect to and . *
The proof of the lemma is trivial: item (i) just follows from the identity
[TABLE]
while item (ii) could be readily verified by using the relation
[TABLE]
for .
Proof of Proposition 1. Let us prove the relations (5.1), (5.2), (5.3) and (5.4) using the conjecture. The right inequality (or equality) in (5.1) just follows from the eq. (4.6), while the left inequality (or equality) in (5.3) follows from (4.6) and which is valid due to eq. (4.1), and the inequalities , (due to the conjecture.).
Now let us verify the left inequality in (5.1). We fix the charges by the relation , , and put , , where . Due to (4.6) and we can use the following parametrization:
[TABLE]
where . Due to the conjecture and relations (4.1), (4.2) we see that is a smooth function which obeys
[TABLE]
Here and , where , () , and , .
We put without loss of generality. The limit corresponds to a pure electric black hole while the limit corresponds to a pure magnetic one.
To prove eqs. (5.1) and (5.2) one should verify the inequality
[TABLE]
for all . Indeed, due to relations (5.10) the points describe an open arc in the circle (see Fig. 1). One of the endpoints of this arc with , , gives us the lower bound for and upper bound for . Due to the lemma this point corresponds to obeying , and .
Let us suppose that (5.10) is not valid. Without loss of generality we put for some . Then, using (5.9) and the smoothness of the function , we get that for some : . This follows from the intermediate value theorem which states that if is a continuous function on the interval , then, for any , there is a point such that . (Here for , is meant to mean .) Hence for two different sets we obtain the same coinciding sets: and hence ; see (4.1), (4.2) and . But due to our conjecture the map is bijective (i.e. it is one-to-one correspondence). This implies . We get a contradiction which proves our proposition for and arbitrary .
The proofs of the right inequality in (5.3) and the bound (5.4) for are quite similar to that for . The only difference here is the use of parametrization
[TABLE]
instead of (5.8). Due to relations (5.10) the points describe an open arc in the hyperbola (see Fig. 2). One of the endpoints of this arc with , , gives us the upper bound for and the upper bound for . Due to the lemma this point corresponds to obeying , and . Thus, Proposition 1 is proved.
Proposition 1 and the lemma imply the following proposition.
Proposition 2. In the framework of the conditions of Proposition 1, the following bounds on the mass and scalar charge are valid for all :
[TABLE]
for , and
[TABLE]
for .
In proving (5.13) and (5.15) the following (obvious) relation was used:
[TABLE]
In ref. [1] Propositions 1 and 2 were proved for the case (). In this case the bound (5.12) is coinciding (up to notations) with the bound (6.16) from ref. [10] (BPS-like inequality), which was proved there by using certain spinor techniques.
Remark 3. When one of , say , is negative, the conjecture is not valid. This may be verified just by analyzing the solutions with small enough charge .
We note that here we were dealing with a special class of solutions with phantom scalar field (). Even in the limiting case and there exist phantom black hole solutions which are not covered by our analysis [37] (see also [38].)
Remark 4. The inequalities on the mass (5.1) and (5.3) in Proposition 1 can be refined when . For both cases which are considered in Proposition 1, we get (see right panels of Figs. 1 and 2)
[TABLE]
*where and is defined in (5.6). The bounds on mass (5.16) are a specific feature of the model with two different dilatonic couplings of opposite sign. For , e.g. for , one should use relations (5.1) and (5.3). We also note that in the proof of Proposition 1 the condition was used. For the case the arcs on the right panels of Figs. 1, 2 reduce to points and we get . *
6 Conclusions
In this paper a family of non-extremal black hole dyon-like solutions in a 4d gravitational model with a scalar field and two Abelian vector fields is presented. The scalar field is either ordinary () or phantom (). The model contains two dilatonic coupling constants , , obeying .
The solutions are defined up to two moduli functions and , which obey two differential equations of second order with boundary conditions imposed. For these equations are integrable for four cases, corresponding to the Lie algebras , , and . In the first case () we have , while in the second one () we get and . Two other solutions, corresponding to the Lie algebras and , will be considered in separate publications.
There is also a special solution with dependent electric and magnetic charges: , which is defined for all (admissible) and obeying .
Here we have also calculated some physical parameters of the solutions: gravitational mass , scalar charge , Hawking temperature, black hole area entropy and post-Newtonian parameters , . The PPN parameters and do not depend upon and , if the values of and are fixed.
We have also obtained a formula, which relates , , the dyon charges , , and the extremality parameter for all values of . Remarkably, this formula does not contain and coincides with that of ref. [1]. As in the case , the product of the Hawking temperature and the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy do not depend upon , and the moduli functions .
Here we have obtained lower bounds on the gravitational mass and upper bounds on the scalar charge for , which are based on the conjecture (from Sect. 5) on the parameters of solutions , . In [1] we have presented several results of numerical calculations which support our bounds for . A rigorous proof of this conjecture may be the subject of a separate publication. For the lower bound on the gravitational mass is in agreement for with that obtained earlier by Gibbons et al. [10] by using certain spinor techniques.
It was noted in Sect. 3.3 that for there exist two integrable cases corresponding to the Lie algebras and , which will be analyzed in separate papers. They do not occur for .
An open question here is to find the conditions on the dilatonic coupling constants which guarantee the existence of the second (hidden) horizon and the existence of the extremal black hole in the limit . For , this problem was analyzed in refs. [13, 27]. This question can be addressed to a separate publication.
