Abstract

In this work, we investigated whether the Pseudo-Newtonian Potential (PNP) theory is applicable to black hole solution in modified gravity or not. In this regard, as an example, a static spherically symmetric 4D AdS Schwarzschild Yang-Mills black hole in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity is considered. Also, a brief discussion on the structure and horizons of this black hole space-time is presented. We calculated angular momentum and energy in the framework of the general theory of relativity as well as in PNP theory. In both of this framework, a graphical comparison of angular momentum has been studied.

Introduction

As is well-known, a Pseudo-Newtonian Potential (PNP) is a mathematical construction used in theoretical astrophysics to approximate the effects of general relativity in the motion of a massive particle near a black hole. In other words, most of the theoretical analysis of general theory of relativity in astronomy are studied by a Newtonian or pseudo-Newtonian method. It is called “Pseudo-Newtonian” because it has a form similar to the gravitational potential in Newtonian mechanics but it include additional terms that account for the curvature of space-time in general relativity. PNP’s are commonly used in studying the accretion of matter onto black holes and the dynamics of relativistic systems. To avoid the complication of full general relativistic equations, it is easier to use non-relativistic treatment but with the domination of corresponding (pseudo) potential which can simulate some relativistic effects consequent to the geometry of space-time. Using this potential one can obtain the approximate solutions of the hydrodynamical equations. Ghosh et al. [1], introduced such a Pseudo-Newtonian potential for a rotating Kerr black hole which is useful enough to reproduce the scenario of the classical mechanics [2-4]. PNP can replicate all the properties of an accretion disk near a black hole [4-7]. Chakraborty et al. [8], a few years back, introduced a general formalism of the trajectory of test particles around a general spherically symmetric non-rotating black hole, and as an example they considered non-rotating charged Reissner-Nordstrom black hole. It is worth mentioning that the general formulation of the trajectory is not only limited to standard general relativity but this formulation can also be extendable and applicable for any black hole solution in modified gravity theory. They did not extend the analysis considering the modified theories of gravity. This extended study was carried out by Mandal [9], considering a static black hole in f (R) gravity. It is interesting to generalize the results to other gravity models like Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity and Lee-Wick gravity. Here in the present study, in order to generalize the previous result [9], we have extended this analysis considering other modified gravity and as an example we have considered a static and spherically symmetric 4D AdS Schwarzschild Yang- Mills Black Hole in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity.

In theoretical physics, theory of General Relativity (henceforth GR) by Einstein is one of the most successful theories. Despite its prominent achievements, there are still some unsolved challenging problems in the universe such as the cosmological constant problem, the hierarchy problem and the late time accelerated expansion of the Universe. This gleams that GR is not the ultimate theory and require further generalization. Addition of the higher curvature terms in the standard Einstein-Hilbert action is one of the possible generalization. Lovelock gravities can provided the higher curvature corrections of natural candidates and are the unique theories that execute generally covariant field equations [10]. Gauss-Bonnet gravity, also familiar as Einstein- Gauss-Bonnet (henceforth EGB), is the normal extension of the standard Einstein-Hilbert action to comprise higher curvature Lovelock terms. In string theory, a Gauss-Bonnet term arrives naturally in the low energy effective action [11]. Recently, Glavan and Lin formulated the EGB gravity in four dimensions as of higher dimensional field equation by rescaling the Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant α by α/D-4 [12]. Examples of some other higher order gravity theory are scalar-tensor theories [13-18], Brane world cosmology [19-21] and regular black holes [22-24]. Moreover, the charged AdS solution of EGB theory [25] for a complete study on 4D GB gravity [26]. Some of the other static and spherically symmetric black hole solutions and their phase transition, thermodynamics in 4D or higher dimensions EGB [27-33].

The consistent theory of 4D EGB gravity was studied in the studies of Aoki et al. [34,35]. Singh et al. [36], have studied on 4D AdS Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet black hole with Yang-Mills field and its thermodynamics. AdS charged black holes in Einstein-Yang-Mills gravity’s rainbow: Thermal stability and P-V criticality was studied by Hendi et al. [37]. Naeimipour et al. [38], studied on Yang-Mills black holes in Quasitopological gravity. Rotating Einstein-Yang- Mills black holes and black hole solution of Einstein-Born-Infeld- Yang-Mills theory can be found in the studies of Kleihaus et al. [39], and Meng et al. [40]. P-V criticality of a specific black hole in f (R) gravity coupled with Yang-Mills field was studied by Ovgun [41], and Aounallah et al. [42], have studied five-dimensional Yang-Mills black holes in massive gravity’s rainbow.

Space-time structure of 4D AdS Schwarzschild Yang-Mills black hole for EGB gravity

In this section, we introduce the metric tensor of a static spherically symmetric black hole of the EGB gravity with the Yang-Mills field. The original theory of EGB gravity by Glavin and Lin [12], has been shown to not be self-consistent. The issue was resolved by Fernandes et.al. [43], and by Hennigar et.al. [44]. The D-dimensional EGB gravity in the presence of the Yang-Mills field is given by the following action,

Equation

Where α is the Gauss-Bonnet coupling coefficient α ≥ 0; G is the Lagrangian density for EGB gravity (called Gauss-Bonnet invariant), given by,

Equation

and Yang-Mills Lagrangian,

Equation

Which is given in terms of the Faraday–Maxwell tensor or electromagnetic field tensor Fμν described by Equation with ∇V representing the covariant derivative, and A(a) μ , the electromagnetic gauge field.

The equation of motion for the metric tensor Equation and the electromagnetic potential Equation are given by respectively,

Equation

Where Equation and Equation , are the Einstein tensor and the Lanczos tensor with the following expressions:

Equation

Equation

With R, Equation represents the D=d+1 dimensional Ricci scalar, Ricci tensor and Riemann tensor respectively. On the other hand, the energy-momentum tensor due to the effect of Yang-Mills field is given by,

Equation

Now in order to get static spherically symmetric black hole solution for the EGB gravity with Yang-Mills field, we write the line element as,

Equation

Where dΩD-2 denotes the metric of a (D-2)-dimensional sphere. The two branch solutions of metric potential for D → 4 has the following form [36]:

Equation

Where naturally adopted Λ in terms of scale length l as, Equation for AdS solution. Since +ve signature of equation 10 is completely unphysical as it converted to Reissner-Nordstrom black hole having negative mass and imaginary charge. Hence we bound ourselves to the -ve branch of solution of equation 10, because the -ve signature reduces to the Schwarzschild solution for α → 0, ν → 0 and l → ∞. Also, from the above solution, in the limit of ν → 0 and l → ∞ we can be recovered the solution by Glavan and Lin [12]. Finally in α → 0, the metric function for AdS Schwarzschild Yang-Mills black hole becomes

Equation

Here, M is an integration constant related to the black hole mass and ν is called Yang- Mills charge. However this solution reduces to the Schwarzschild black hole solution for ν=0 and l → ∞.

Here, we should note that the Yang-Mills case considered here corroborates with the case of an electrically charged black hole [45,46], because both yield the same metric function equation 10. However, AdS Schwarzschild Yang-Mills black hole corroborates with the Reissner-Nordstrom-AdS black hole [46]. Therefore, our study will be equally valid for Reissner-Nordstrom-AdS black hole case also.

Results and Discussion

Horizons of spacetime for 4D AdS Schwarzschild Yang- Mills black hole

The horizon of the AdS Schwarzschild Yang-Mills black hole equation 11 is given by setting f (r)=0. Now, we can plot the graph to estimate the horizons as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 depicts the profile of metric function f (r) with radial coordinate r for five different values of Yang-Mills charge ν, when scale length is l=2 (left) and l=4 (right). It is evident from the figure that the radius of the outer horizon increases when the Yang-Mills charge ν decreases. In particular, all the plots are scaled with ν taking values of order 1. By doing elementary analysis of the zeros of f (r), Figure 1 shows that it has no zeros for ν>νc, one double zero if ν=νc and two simple zeros for ν<νc. It is evident, from the figure that the two horizons coincide at the critical radius,

It is also evident that rc depends upon the parameters ν and l.

Relativistic theory: Energy and angular momentum

The basic relativistic theory of energy, angular momentum, and effective potential for a general static non-rotating black hole can be found in Refs [8,9]. Now, the energy and relativistic conserved angular momentum for circular orbits are respectively

Equation

It is notified that both Ec and Lc depend on various parameters like Yang-Mills charge ν, scale length l, radial coordinate r and mass M of the AdS Schwarzschild Yang-Mills black hole. Figure 2a depicts the variation of relativistic angular momentum Lc with respect to changing r and ν, for a fixed l and Figure 2b depicts, the variation of relativistic angular momentum Lc with respect to changing r and l for a fixed ν. However, in Figure 3a, the variation of energy Ec with respect to changing r and ν for a fixed l and in Figure 3b, the variation of energy Ec with respect to changing r and l for a fixed ν are depicted.

Now, relativistic specific angular momentum Equation can be calculated as

Equation

Effective potential Veff can be estimated as

Equation

The nature of Veff versus r by varying h, ν for fixed l is plotted in Figure 4. In both plots, Veff increases for increasing ν.

Pseudo-newtonian theory: Potential, energy and angular momentum

The basic PNP theory for a general static non-rotating and spherically symmetric black hole was studied in Refs [8,9]. The PNP and effective potentials, respectively, are,

Equation

It can be easily observed by analyzing the boundary behavior of PNP ψ that when we approach spatial infinity,

Equation

This is presented in Figures 5 and 6.

Figure 6: In (a) the variation of PNP ψ with respect to r for changing ν for a fixed l=1 is shown, In (b) the variation of PNP ψ with respect to r for changing l for a fixed ν=0.75 is shown, taking M=1.

In Figure 5a, we plot PNP ψ for variation of both r and ν with l=1. In Figure 5b, the variation of PNP ψ for varying both r and l with ν=0.75 is plotted. Moreover, in Figure 6, we present the behavior of PNP with r for different values of ν (left figure) and l (right figure). Figure 6a shows that for lower values of r, PNP ψ will be increased when Yang-Mills charge ν will take larger values. On the other hand, from Figure 6b, it is clear that for lower r PNP ψ will be decreases for increasing values of scale length l. Both plots of Figures 5 and 6 also reveal that in the limit r → ∞, ψ clearly approaches to 1/2.

We obtain pseudo-Newtonian angular momentum as following:

Equation

Figure 7a shows the variation of Lc for the variation of both r and ν with fixed l and Figure 7b shows the variation of Lc for the variation of both r and l with fixed ν.

Plot

Figure 7: (a) Plot of Lc with respect to r and ν for fixed l=1, In (b) plot of Lc with respect to r and l for fixed ν=0.75, taking M=1.

Now a comparative plot of Lc (from equation 14) and Lc (from equation 18) has been presented in Figures 8-11 for different values of ν and l. In Figures 8 and 9, ν and l are taken very small (up to the order of unity). On the other hand Figure 10 is for higher l, lower ν (top panel) and lower l, higher ν (bottom panel) while Figure 11 is for both higher l and higher ν. The solid curve (red) is for Pseudo-Newtonian angular momentum Lc and the dashed curve (blue) is for General Relativistic angular momentum Lc. From Figures 8 and 9, it is visible that for lower values of r, both the curves become asymptotical to Lc, Lc axis and for higher values of r the Lc curve is increasing whereas Lc curve become asymptotical to the radial coordinate axis. So it can be easily understood that Lc and Lc curve takes the same form for the lower values of r, however, both curve no longer matches for higher values of r. Interestingly Figure 10 (top panel) shows that for higher scale length l, both curves take the same form for all values of r whereas the bottom panel depicts that both curves have different behavior i.e., Lc curve is an increasing function of r while Lc curve is asymptotic to r-axis. Both of the curves of Figure 11, for higher l and higher ν, also take the same form [47-50].

It is worth mentioning that, PNP theory for 4D AdS Schwarzschild Yang-Mills black hole can reproduce the scenario of GR theory when both the scale length parameter l and Yang-Mills charge ν are taken low (valid for low ranges of r, but for higher ranges of r it does not reproduce the result any more) and also can simulate the GR theory when both of these parameters are taken high (for all values of r). However, for higher l and lower ν, we get the case of a Schwarzschild black hole. Finally, all results are verified for 4D AdS Schwarzschild Yang-Mills black hole solution in EGB gravity. The above result generalizes that the above analysis is not only restricted to Einstein’s gravity but it can also be extendable to black hole solution in any modified gravity theory [51-54].

Moreover, the expression for ec is given by [8,9],

Equation

The positive roots of the following equation give marginally stable circular orbits:

Equation

Finally, to get stable circular orbit we have the following condition:

Equation

This analysis can also be applicable and extendable for any black hole in higher dimensions. For example, the metric for a N-dimensional black hole can be written as,

Equation

Where Equation represents the metric on unit (N-2) sphere, given by,

Equation

In this analysis, the motion of a test particle (massive or photon) should be restricted to the equatorial plane (θk=π/2, k ≥ 1), because of the fact that we have considered only spherical symmetry of the space-time. Therefore, in future work, an extension of the above approach for non-spherical system (especially axisymmetric) would be interesting.

Conclusion

In this paper, we outline space-time structure in EGB gravity and to get a deeper insight about the horizon, we plot lapse function with respect to the radial coordinate r. Using GR treatment, we calculate energy and angular momentum. Here we noticed that the energy and angular momentum depend on various parameters like scale length, Yang-Mills charge and mass of the black hole. To check the dependency of energy and angular momentum on these parameters we make a graphical analysis. Moreover, we determined the effective potential and graphical analysis shows that effective potential increases when Yang-Mills charge increases.

Within the context of PN theory, we determined PNP, angular momentum, and energy. Here it is also notified that PNP, energy, and angular momentum also depend on various parameters like scale length, Yang-Mills charge, and mass of the black hole. In this framework, we also made a graphical analysis of the energy and angular momentum. The graph of PNP for different values of ν and l shows that for lower values of r, PNP will be increased when Yang-Mills charge will take larger values and PNP will decrease for increasing values of scale length. Interestingly, in the limit r → ∞, PNP clearly approaches to 1. More importantly, we have presented a comparative plot of relativistic angular momentum Lc and PN angular momentum Lc for different values of scale length and Yang-Mills charge. The graph for lower values of Yang-Mills charge and scale length demonstrated that in both, the GR treatment and PN treatment, the angular momentum curve takes the same form only for lower ranges of r while both curves no longer match for higher ranges of r. These plots justify the PNP theory for 4D Schwarzschild Yang-Mills black hole for some lower values of r. The graph for both higher l and higher ν can justify the PNP theory for 4D Schwarzschild Yang-Mills black hole for the entire ranges of r. While the graph for higher values of scale length parameter and lower values of Yang-Mills charge demonstrated that both angular momentum curves take the same form for all ranges of r. These plots justify the PNP theory for Schwarzschild black hole.

We also noticed that a marginally stable circular orbit depends on the parameters like scale length, Yang-Mills charge, and mass of the black hole. It is important to note that, the general formulation of the general gravity theory was used very well to a black hole solution in EGB gravity. Our result generalizes that this analysis is not only restricted to Einstein’s gravity but it can also be extendable and applicable to black hole solution in any modified theories of gravity.
