Responses of the Brans-Dicke field due to gravitational collapses
We study responses of the Brans-Dicke field due to gravitational collapses of
scalar field pulses using numerical simulations. Double-null formalism is
employed to implement the numerical simulations. If we supply a scalar field
pulse, it will asymptotically form a black hole via dynamical interactions of
the Brans-Dicke field. Hence, we can observe the responses of the Brans-Dicke
field by two different regions. First, we observe the late time behaviors after
the gravitational collapse, which include formations of a singularity and an
apparent horizon. Second, we observe the fully dynamical behaviors during the
gravitational collapse and view the energy-momentum tensor components. For the
late time behaviors, if the Brans-Dicke coupling is greater (or smaller) than
-1.5, the Brans-Dicke field decreases (or increases) during the gravitational
collapse. Since the Brans-Dicke field should be relaxed to the asymptotic value
with the elapse of time, the final apparent horizon becomes time-like (or
space-like). For the dynamical behaviors, we observed the energy-momentum
tensors around ~ -1.5. If the Brans-Dicke coupling is greater than
-1.5, the component can be negative at the outside of the black hole.
This can allow an instantaneous inflating region during the gravitational
collapse. If the Brans-Dicke coupling is less than -1.5, the oscillation of the
component allows the apparent horizon to shrink. This allows a
combination that violates weak cosmic censorship. Finally, we discuss the
implications of the violation of the null energy condition and weak cosmic
censorship.Comment: 28 pages, 14 figure
Dynamical formation and evolution of (2+1)-dimensional charged black holes
In this paper, we investigate the dynamical formation and evolution of 2 +
1-dimensional charged black holes. We numerically study dynamical collapses of
charged matter fields in an anti de Sitter background and note the formation of
black holes using the double-null formalism. Moreover, we include re-normalized
energy-momentum tensors assuming the S-wave approximation to determine
thermodynamical back-reactions to the internal structures. If there is no
semi-classical effects, the amount of charge determines the causal structures.
If the charge is sufficiently small, the causal structure has a space-like
singularity. However, as the charge increases, an inner Cauchy horizon appears.
If we have sufficient charge, we see a space-like outer horizon and a time-like
inner horizon, and if we give excessive charge, black hole horizons disappear.
We have some circumstantial evidences that weak cosmic censorship is still
satisfied, even for such excessive charge cases. Also, we confirm that there is
mass inflation along the inner horizon, although the properties are quite
different from those of four-dimensional cases. Semi-classical back-reactions
will not affect the outer horizon, but they will affect the inner horizon. Near
the center, there is a place where negative energy is concentrated. Thus,
charged black holes in three dimensions have two types of curvature
singularities in general: via mass inflation and via a concentration of
negative energy. Finally, we classify possible causal structures.Comment: 40 pages, 15 figure
