Banados-Silk-West effect with nongeodesic particles: Nonextremal horizons

When two particles collide near a black hole, the energy in their center of mass frame can, under certain conditions, grow unbounded. This is the Banados-Silk-West effect. We show that this effect retains its validity even if some force acts on a particle, provided some reasonable and weak restrictions are imposed on this force. In the present work we discuss the case of nonextremal horizons. The result under discussion is similar to that for extremal horizons considered in our previous work.Comment: v2 matches the published version; revtex4, 11 page

Dirty rotating black holes: regularity conditions on stationary horizons

We consider generic, or "dirty" (surrounded by matter), stationary rotating black holes with axial symmetry. The restrictions are found on the asymptotic form of metric in the vicinity of non-extremal, extremal and ultra-extremal horizons, imposed by the conditions of regularity of increasing strength: boundedness on the horizon of the Ricci scalar, of scalar quadratic curvature invariants, and of the components of the curvature tensor in the tetrad attached to a falling observer. We show, in particular, that boundedness of the Ricci scalar implies the "rigidity" of the horizon's rotation in all cases, while the finiteness of quadratic invariants leads to the constancy of the surface gravity. We discuss the role of quasiglobal coordinate r that is emphasized by the conditions of regularity. Further restrictions on the metric are formulated in terms of subsequent coefficients of expansion of metric functions by r. The boundedness of the tetrad components of curvature tensor for an observer crossing the horizon is shown to lead in the horizon limit to diagonalization of Einstein tensor in the frame of zero angular momentum observer on a circular orbit (ZAMO frame) for horizons of all degrees of extremality.Comment: 31 pages.
