Particle motion around magnetized black holes: Preston-Poisson space-time
We analyze motion of massless and massive particles around black holes
immersed in an asymptotically uniform magnetic field and surrounded by some
mechanical structure, which provides the magnetic field. The space-time is
described by Preston-Poisson metric, which is the generalization of the
well-known Ernst metric with a new parameter, tidal force, characterizing the
surrounding structure. The Hamilton-Jacobi equations allow separation of
variables in the equatorial plane. The presence of tidal force from
surroundings considerably changes parameters of the test particle motion: it
increases the radius of circular orbits of particles, increases the binding
energy of massive particles going from a given circular orbits to the innermost
stable orbit near black hole. In addition, it increases the distance of minimal
approach, time delay and bending angle for a ray of light propagating near
black hole.Comment: 6 pages, RevTex, the version accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.
Chiral models in dilaton-Maxwell gravity
We study symmetry properties of the Einstein-Maxwell theory nonminimaly
coupled to the dilaton field. We consider a static case with pure electric
(magnetic) Maxwell field and show that the resulting system becomes a nonlinear
sigma-model wich possesses a chiral representation. We construct the
corresponding chiral matrix and establish a representation which is related to
the pair of Ernst-like potentials. These potentials are used for separation of
the symmetry group into the gauge and nongauge (charging) sectors. New
variables, which linearize the action of charging symmetries, are also
established; a solution generation technique based on the use of charging
symmetries is formulated. This technique is used for generation of the
elecricaly (magneticaly) charged dilatonic fields from the static General
Relativity ones.Comment: 9 pages in LaTex; published in Gen. Rel. Grav. 32 (2000) pp 1389-139
3D heterotic string theory: new approach and extremal solutions
We develop a new formalism for the bosonic sector of low-energy heterotic
string theory toroidally compactified to three dimensions. This formalism is
based on the use of some single non-quadratic real matrix potential which
transforms linearly under the action of subgroup of the three-dimensional
charging symmetries. We formulate a new charging symmetry invariant approach
for the symmetry generation and straightforward construction of asymptotically
flat solutions. Finally, using the developed approach and the established
formal analogy between the heterotic and Einstein-Maxwell theories, we
construct a general class of the heterotic string theory extremal solutions of
the Israel-Wilson-Perjes type. This class is asymptotically flat and charging
symmetry complete; it includes the extremal solutions constructed before and
possesses the non-trivial bosonic string theory limit.Comment: 20 pages in Late
Very high frequency gravitational wave background in the universe
Astrophysical sources of high frequency gravitational radiation are
considered in association with a new interest to very sensitive HFGW receivers
required for the laboratory GW Hertz experiment. A special attention is paid to
the phenomenon of primordial black holes evaporation. They act like black body
to all kinds of radiation, including gravitons, and, therefore, emit an
equilibrium spectrum of gravitons during its evaporation. Limit on the density
of high frequency gravitons in the Universe is obtained, and possibilities of
their detection are briefly discussed.Comment: 14 page
