3 Skyrme models Non-linear scalar field theories supporting top. solitons ("Skyrmions") Candidate low-energy EFT for QCD; (scalar) Skyrme field mesons Baryons and nuclei realized as top. solitons ("vortices" in "meson fluid") simplest case (two flavors): Skyrme field space = SU(2) (isospin) matrix U (three pions) top. degree of Skyrmion ("winding number " of map R 3 0 S3 SU(2) S 3 ) = baryon number B Syms. of (two-flavor) QCD: (chiral) SU(2) L SU(2) R broken to SU(2) iso

6 Skyrmions and Gravity Promote g µν to dyn. metric by adding EH action S = d 4 x g 1 2 ( 1 ) 16πG R + L Sk In principle: solve to describe self-gravitating Skyrmions, neutrons stars and hairy black holes In practise: needs simplification Static, radially symmetric metric (in Schwarzschild coord.) ds 2 = σ 2 (r)n(r)dt 2 + dr 2 N(r) = 1 2m(r)/r. N(r) + r 2 (dθ 2 + sin 2 θdφ 2 )

7 Symmetry reduction for matter: Either macroscopic: fluid/solid ɛ(r), p(r) with EoS p = p(ɛ) insert into Einstein eqs. Or: sym. red. of field theory Skyrme model: U = cos f + i sin f n τ Hedgehog (B = 1): f = f (r), n = (sin θ cos φ, sin θ sin φ, cos θ) Either calc. T µν, insert into Einstein eqs. 3 ODEs Or sym. red. of action L Sk E Sk(f, f, N) S = dt E, E = d 3 x ( g 1 ) 16πG R + ESk d 3 x g = dωdrr 2 σ simpler derivation of field eqs.

12 Black Holes with Skyrmion hair Known results Standard Skyrme model L 2 + L 4 has both regular self-grav. solitons and hairy BHs H. Luckock and I. Moss, Phys. Lett. B 176 (1986) 341 S. Droz, M. Heusler and N. Straumann, PLB 268 (1991) 371 P. Bizon, T. Chmaj, Phys. Lett.

Sawado, JHEP 1512 (2015) 013?What happens in general? One motivation see also: S.B. Gudnason, M. Nitta, N. Sawado, arxiv:

First known case

15 Skyrme model L 2 + L 4 Regular solutions: from Bizon, Chmaj (1992) free parameter f (0). Shooting s.t. f ( ) = 0 two branches (lower, stable and higher, unstable) bifurcate at α max

16 Hairy BH solutions: from Bizon, Chmaj (1992) free parameter f (r h ). Shooting s.t. f ( ) = 0 two branches ("lower", stable and "higher", unstable) bifurcate at rh max approach corresponding reg. sol. for r h 0

18 Regular solutions: a = b = m π = 1. Rescaled ADM mass m( ) = G M ADM vs. α for some values of c lower mass (stable) and higher mass (unstable) branch bifurcation at α max (c). M c=0 c=0.01 c=0.1 c=

19 κ 2 = 1 4 gtt g rr ( r g tt ) 2 r=rh Hairy Black Holes Hairy BH solutions expected, at least for small r h Discrete # of solutions for fixed r h (two free constants f h, σ h, and two conditions f ( ) = 0 and σ( ) = 1) Useful BH quantities: BH entropy S = A h /4 = πr 2 h Black Hole surface gravity κ where Black Hole (Hawking) temperature T T = κ 2π = 1 4π σ(r h)n (r h ) σ(r h ) = 0 T = 0... extremal BH

20 Results: f h vs. r h. α = 0.05, a = b = m π = 1 for some c Upper (unstable) branch, c > 0: f h further decreases, does not approach f h = π. NO solution below certain rh ex (c) f(r h ) 2.8 c=0 c=0.01 c=0.05 c=0.1 c=0.3 c= r h

21 Results: σ h vs. r h. α = 0.05, a = b = m π = 1 for some c Upper (unstable) branch, c > 0: σ h = 0 for some rh ex(c) NO solution for r h < rh ex(c) r h rh ex... extremal limit: extremal (T = 0) BH (r h ) c=0 c=0.01 c=0.05 c= r h

22 Extremal limit, small c ( GNS2): Regular solution a = b = m π = 1 Fixed α: Two solutions for sufficiently small c unstable hairy BH might join unstable regular (r h = 0) solution (0) c=0 c=0.001 c=0.006 c=0.01 c=

23 Extremal limit, small c: hairy BH solution σ h vs. r h for a = b = m π = 1, α = 0.05 Upper branch solution exists for r h 0 for small c, joins unstable regular solution GNS2 "phase transition" for some c = c cr (α) Here c cr (0.05) (0) c=0 c=0.001 c=0.006 c= r h

24 Hairy Black Holes, Temperature a = b = m π = 1, α = 0.05 Upper branch solution approaches T = again for r h 0, for c = 0 and for c < c cr approaches T = 0 at r h = rh ex for c > c cr Here c cr (0.05) r h Schwarzschield c=0 c=0.001 c=0.006 c= T

25 Qualitative understanding of r ex h Expansion about r h N 0 + N 1 (r r h ) +... m r h 2 + m 1(r r h ) +... σ σ h + α2 σ h sin 2 f h J 2 8r h H(r h N 1 ) 2 (r r h) +... f f h + r h sin f h J 2H(r h N 1 ) (r r h) +...

26 Possible sing. r h N 1 0 for small r h For α too large: disaster For α small: may be avoided if f h π sufficiently fast for r h 0: Happens for c < c cr c > c cr : (r h N 1 ) 1 is large close to sing. with σ σ h + σ 1 (r r h ) +..., where σ 1 = α2 σ h sin 2 f h J 2 8r h H(r h N 1 ) 2 and σ(r) < σ( ), large r h N 1 compatible with b.c. σ( ) = 1 ONLY IF σ h is small. b.c. σ( ) = 1 imposes small σ h on numerical int., and σ h 0 at r h = r ex h before r hn 1 0

27 Role of Skyrme term L 4 f h vs. r h, for a = c = m π = 1, α = 0.05 rh max smaller for smaller b, lim b 0 rh max = 0 NO hairy black holes without the Skyrme term (b = 0) although regular Skyrmion solutions exist f(r h ) b=1 b=0.5 b=0.1 b= r h

28 Role of Skyrme term L 4 Rescaled ADM mass m( ) vs. r h, for a = c = m π = 1, α = 0.05 Again, lim b 0 rh max = 0 As always, M unst (r h ) > M st (r h ) 0.09 M b=1 b=0.5 b=0.1 b= r h

29 Role of n.l. Sigma-model term L 2 f h vs. r h, for for b = c = m π = 1, α = 0.05 rh max (a) increases with decreasing a Hairy BHs exist for a = f(r h ) a=1 a=0.5 a=0.1 a= r h

30 Role of n.l. Sigma-model term L 2 f (r) vs. r, for for b = c = m π = 1, α = 0.05, and r h = 0.01 For potential U = U π, a = 0 solution is compacton Compactons for less than quartic approach to vacuum 3 a=0.01 a=0.1 a=0.5 a=1 2.5 f(r) r

31 Summary of Results Skyrme-type models which do possess flat space & self-gravitating top. solitons but don t possess hairy Black Holes Examples: BPS submodel (exact result) Model L 0 + L 2 + L 6 (numerical) General condition for existence of hairy BHs Presence of quartic (Skyrme) term L 4 existence of top. soliton solutions (conjecture) If applicable (for large B) to gravitating nuclear/hadronic matter, interesting repercussions: L 4 might control formation of "hadron black-hole" bound states ("neutron stars" with black hole cores)

32 Influence of sextic term L 6 on hairy BH solutions For c > c cr(α), unstable branch solutions for r h 0 Instead, at r h rh ex, BH temperature T 0 Extremal (T = 0) hairy BH At same c cr(α), regular unstable sol. ceases to exist Future work: Other potentials: results potential-independent? See e.g. GNS2 hairy BHs L 4... deeper reason? Higher-dim Skyrme models: which term required for hairy BHs? Spinning stationary (Kerr-type) solutions: may induce hair even for b = 0? Nonzero cosmological constant?...
