8 Two predictions of the Einstein's General Relativity (1915) Gravitational waves Black holes One hundred years later... The first observing run (O1) of Advanced LIGO was scheduled to start 9 am GMT (10 am BST), 14 September Both gravitational-wave detectors were running fine, but there were few a extra things the calibration team wanted to do and not all the automated analysis had been set up, so it was decided to postpone the start of the run until 18 September. No-one told the Universe. At 9:50 am, 14 September there was an event.

10 3 Dec The LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo Collaboration have released the results of their search for stellar-mass coalescing compact binaries during the first and second observing runs using an advanced gravitational-wave detector network. This includes the confident detection of ten binary black hole mergers and one binary neutron star merger. 4 new events. The "most massive case" GW Its source is made up of black holes with masses 50 M and 34 M.

13 Facts about GW Masses 35M and 30M. Final mass 62M, 3M was emitted in the form of gravitational waves. This 49 is about 5% of the total mass watts 50 times greater than the combined power of all light radiated by all the stars in the observable universe. It was observed about 8 cycles from 35 Hz to 250 Hz. 80 Total number of emitted gravitons 10.

17 Gravitational collapse will always occur on any star core over 3-5 solar masses, inevitably producing a black hole. Approximately 1/3 of the star systems in the Milky Way are binary or multiple. The rest 2/3 are single stars. A heavier companion in the stellar binary has faster evolution than the lighter one. If the mass of the heavy star is large enough a system may become a black hole binary.

18 Known candidates for stellar mass black holes were discovered in such systems. The motion of a star companion in the binary can be detected. This gives information about the mass of the black hole candidate. Estimates give : the number of stellar mass black holes in our Galaxy is about A similar 8 9 or larger number of neutron stars exist in the Gal axy.

21 Stellar-mass black holes with (Super)massive black holes with Intermediate-mass black holes with Primordial black holes with mass up to Micro black holes M 3 60M M M 3 10 M M M M M Planck 5 9 M M Planck c = 10 G 5 g The quantum gravity effects become important for black holes with M M Planck. The black holes of smaller mass do not exist, at least in the standard classical sense.

22 Supermassive black holes BH in the center of our Galaxy, Milky Way. Sagittarius A* 6 is the location of a supermassive black hole of mass 410 M. SMBHs in the center of other galaxies.

23 A black hole is a compact massive object, the gravitational field of which is so strong that nothing (even the light) can escape from it. The boundary of the black hole, called the event horizon, is a surface at which the escape velocity is equal to the velocity of light. 1 2 mv 2 = GMm R R g = 2GM c 2

24 John Archibald Wheeler ( ) The name "black hole" was invented in December 1967 by John Archibald Wheeler. Before Wheeler, these objects were often referred to as "black stars or "frozen stars".

25

26 Event horizon (BH boundary) is almost everywhere null surface Black hole surface topology is. Its surface area never decreases (EC) Soon after their formation black holes become stationary (the `balding phase T r / c ). Stationary black holes are either static (Schwarzschild) or axially symmetric (Kerr). S g 2

27 Uniqueness theorem: Stationary isolated BHs are uniquely specified by their mass and angular momentum and are described by the Kerr metric. The Kerr metric besides the evident ST symmetries has also hidden symmetry. Geodesic equation of motion are completely integrable. Massless field equations allow the separation of variables. Black holes are classically stable.

28 The radius =2M is known as the gravitational radius or the Schwarzschild radius. In physical units, after restoring G and c constants, it has the value r = 2GM c S rs 2 rs ds = 1 dt + 1 dr + r d r r describes the gravitational field in vacuum, outside a spherical distribution of matter. This matter may be either static or have radial motion preserving the spherical symmetry. According to Birkhoff's theorem, the external metric does not depend on such motion. In the absence of matter, the metric describes an exterior of a spherically symmetric static black hole. In this case r S is the radius of its event horizon.

31 The equation U = -V determines a three-dimensional spacelike slice of the Kruskal spacetime. This slice passes through the bifurcation surface of the horizons. It has two branches. This subspace is called the Einstein-Rosen bridge. Its internal geometry dr dl r d dl 1 2Mr = + = 0 r 2 = (1 + M2 ) M = 1+ 2 dl = d + ( d + sin d ) = 2 The geometry of a two-dimensional section of the metric can be embedded in a at three-dimensional space as a revolution surface

36 In the `physical' spacetime the signature of the metric is ( - ; + ; + ; + ). The Schwarzschild metric is static and it allows an analytical continuation to the Euclidean one ( + ; + ; + ; + ). This continuation can be obtained by making the Wick's rotation t = it E. The corresponding space, called a Euclidean black hole, has interesting mathematical properties and has important physical applications. The two-dimensional part of the Euclidean metric d = g dt E E dr g 2 Near the Euclidean horizon is has the form d dt + d E E In a general case this metric has a conical singularity. This singularity vanishes if is a periodic coordinate with the period t E 2 0 t E

37 Consider the (t-r)-sector of the Schwarzschild metric dr 2 2 ds = g dt + + r d g 2M g = 1 r 2 d In the vicinity of the horizon: r = r (1 + y) y 1 S the proper length distance from the horizon = r r S dr g 2r S y

38 d = dt + d = 1 (2 r ) = 1 (4 M) is the surface gravity of the black hole. S ds dt + d + r d S Regularity at =0 requires t is periodic with a period 2 /. This condition determines Hawking themperature = H E 3 c 8 Gk M B.

39 Why = H 3 c 8 Gk M B enters the expression for the temperature? We keep in the relations, but put c= G = 1 E 2 8 M We used here that is equal to the period of the Euclidean time..

40 This regular four dimensional Euclidean space is called the Euclidean black hole or the Gibbons-Hawking instanton. The inverse period in Euclidean time is equal = H 2 is called the Hawking temperature of the black hole.

41 Rotating black holes

42 4D Kerr-NUT-(A)dS Derivation in 3 Simple Steps Step 1: Write flat ST metric in ellipsoidal coordinates ds 2 = dt 2 + dx 2 + dy 2 + dz X = r + a sin cos, Y = r + a sin sin, Z = rcos, = 1 X + Y Z r + a r dr ds = dt + ( r + a cos ) ( + d ) r + a ( r + a ) sin d

43 Step 2: Rewrite this metric in `algebraic form = cos, =, = 1 y a t a a r y ds = ( d + y d ) + ( d r d ) r + y r + y dr dy + ( r + y )[ + ], r = r + a, y = a y r y (i) Coefficients are rational functions; (ii) `Almost symmetric form

44 Step 3: Use this form of the metric to solve Einstein equations Assume that = ( r) and = ( y) and solve the equation R = 3 g ( =- /3) r r y y r Y( y) ds = ( d + y d ) + ( d r d ) r + y r + y dr dy + ( r + y )[ + ] r y [Carter 1968]

45 'Trace equation' gives: y 2 r r y y + = r + 12 ( ), r r y y = = 12 r c, 12 y c, c = r 2 r r r, c = y 2 y y r

46 The other equations fix some constants and we have = ( r + a )(1 + r ) 2 Mr, r = ( a y )(1 y ) + 2Ny y a rotation parameter, M mass, N `NUT' parameter, `cosmological term'

47 If we put = N = 0 and change coordinates 1 y = a cos, = t a, = a, we obtain Kerr solution in standard Boyer- Lindquist coordinates ( tr,,, ).

49 The event horizon is located at Which are the roots of the equation The event horizon of the Kerr spacetime is a null 3-dimensional surface. Its spatial slices have the geometry of a 2-dimensional distorted sphere. The rotating black holes exist only for a M a M For the Kerr solution does not have a horizon and it describes a naked singularity. It is generally believed that such a singularity does not arise in real physical processes. r r r M M a ( r) = = + =

51 Metric g is a trivial example of the Killing tensor. Kerr metric has 2 Killing vectors and. t Carter (1968) found that it also has a Killing tensor. This gives 4 integral of motion and make particle and light equations completely integrable.

55 (1) No Uniquness Theorem: For given M and J more than one BH solution (2) Complete integrability and separation of variables are generic properties of HD analogues of Kerr BH ( hidden symmetry generators V. F & D. K. 07) (3) Stability of HD BHs?

56 Main Results In the most general ( Kerr NUT ( A) ds) higher dimensional black hole spacetime : (1) Geodesic motion is completely integrable. (2) Hamilton Jacobi and Klein Gordon equa tions allow the complete separation of variables

57 Motivations Separation of variables allows one to reduce a physical problem to a simpler one in which physical quantities depend on less number of variables. In case of complete separability original partial differential equations reduce to a set of ordinary differential equations Separation of variables in the Kerr metric is used for study: (1) Black hole stability (2) Particle and field propagation (3) Quasinormal modes (4) Hawking radiation

58 Main lesson: Properties of higher dimensional rotating BHs and the 4D Kerr metric are very similar. HDBHs give a new wide class of completely integrable systems

96 Collapse Evaporation Pure Black Thermal state hole radiation

97 If an initial pure state evolves into a mixed state, described by the density matrix, the unitarity of quantum evolution is lost. The unitarity is a basic principle of the quantum mechanics. Does it mean that Gravity + Quantum Mechanics= Inconsistent theory? Main ways out: 1. Quantum mechanics is still valid on a causal evolution of the initial Cauchy surface, but after evaporation an external observer has access only to a part of the system; 2. Information gradually leaks out during the evaporation process; 3. Information is collected in a small mass remnant; 4. Entanglement is immediately broken between the in-falling particle and the outgoing particle. A falling observer will see a `firewall, when he/she crosses the horizon.
