After the development of dilaton and axion-dilaton : v solutions [1],[7], it was shown by [6] that the Newman Janis method can be used to develop the charged i axion-dilaton solutions from a pur dilaton coupled solution, where the axion field plays the role of the X angular momentum parameter of the black hole. r a Itiswellknowninastringinspiredscenariothatinfourspace-timedimensions,themasslessaxionsare dualtothethirdrankfieldstrengthofasecondrankantisymmetrictensorfield(knownasKalb-Ramond field ) which appears in the massless sector of closedbosonic string theories.

Either of these interpretations leadstothesameactionforthelowenergysupergravitysectorofstringtheory. Itisthereforeinteresting to study the roleofthe dilaton(whosevacuumexpectationvaluedetermines the stringcoupling)aswell as the role of the axion in the energy extraction process from the black hole via Penrose process. ∗[email protected][email protected] 1 In this work we try to address this question in the context of string inspired axion-dilaton scalar coupled black hole solution obtained via Newman-Janis prescription. We shall show that, starting from a space-time endowed with non-vanishing KR-energy density ( in other words non-vanishing torsion ), the energy extraction process eventually results into a static non-rotating dilaton-coupled black hole where at the end of the energy extraction process, axion/KR field strength becomes zero leading to a static Riemannian space-time. 2 Axion-dilaton coupled gravity The equations of motion for the Einstein-Maxwell axion-dilaton coupled gravity can be obtained from the action, 1 1 = d4x√ g R 2∂ Φ∂µΦ e4Φ∂ Θ∂µΘ+e−2ΦF Fµν +ΘF F˜µν (1) µ µ µν µν S −16π − − − 2 Z (cid:18) (cid:19) whereRisthe Ricciscalarwithrespecttothe spacetime metricg whileF andF˜ arethe Maxwell µν µν µν tensoranditsdual. HereΘandΦrepresenttheaxionandthedilatonfieldsrespectively. Withouttrying to obtain the solution from the action directly, we first focus on pure dilaton-coupled gravity. Thesolutiontothe puredilatoncoupledgravityhasbeenobtainedin[1],[7]. Itresemblesthe Reissner Nordstrom solution with dilaton scalar and is spherically symmetric. This can be written as, 1 r1 1 r1 −1 r ds2 = − r dt2 − r dr2 r2 1+ 2 (dθ2+sin2θdφ2) (2) 1+ r2 − 1+ r2 − r (cid:18) r (cid:19) (cid:18) r (cid:19) (cid:16) (cid:17) where the dilaton Φ is given as, 1 e2Φ = (3) 1+ r2 r and the radial component of the electromagnetic potential is, Q A= −r (4) 1+ r2 r In analogy to the work done by Newman-Janis [2],[3] in obtaining the axisymmetric rotating black hole Kerr solution from the spherically symmetric Schwarzschild solution, we can now construct the axisymmetricblack hole solutionfromthe spherically symmetric solutionobtainedfromdilaton-coupled gravity. This algorithm works by first transforming the metric to the outgoing Eddington-Finkelstein coordinates and then inverting it to express it in the form of its null tetrad vectors as follows, gµν =lµnν +lνnµ mµmν mνmµ (5) − − The null tetrad thus obtained is then made to undergo the complex transformation which introduces a parameter ’a’. This transformation is such that the resulting metric is a real function of complex arguments r and u which are given as, r r+iacosθ (6) → u u iacosθ (7) → − θ θ, φ φ (8) → → Some algebraic manipulations yields the metric, ds2 =− 1− 2Mr dt2−4aMr sin2θdtdφ− Σ˜(dr2+∆dθ2)+ r(r+r2)+a2+ 2Mra2sin2θ sin2θdφ2 (9) (cid:18) Σ˜ (cid:19) Σ˜ ∆ (cid:26) Σ˜ (cid:27) where,∆=r(r+r ) 2Mr+a2 andΣ˜ =r(r+r )+a2cos2θ Comparingwith the solutionobtained 2 2 − from [4], we have the electromagnetic potential as, Qr A= (dt a2sinθdφ) (10) − Σ˜ − 2 The dilaton field Φ is r2+a2cos2θ e2Φ =e2Φ0 (11) r(r+r )+a2cos2θ (cid:18) 2 (cid:19) where the constant multiplicative term Φ is defined as the asymptotic value of the dilaton. 0 The axion field Θ is given by, Q2 acosθ Θ= (12) M r2+a2cos2θ Here r = Q2e2Φ0 . Thus we see that with the aid of a co-ordinate transformation we are able to arrive 2 M at a solution with non-vanishing axion field. This field is given by the parameter of the transformation ’a’ and its effect is to render the black hole with non-zero angular momentum and thereby making it a rotating black hole. Thenon-vanishingcomponentsofthethirdrankantisymmetricdualKalb-Ramond(KR)fieldstrength H can now be determined from the expression of the axion field Θ using the duality relation. These µνα turn out to be, r(r+r )+a2cos2θ 2Mr [ r(r+r )+a2cos2θ r(r+r )+a2 +2Mra2sin2θ] (2Mrasin2θ)2 2 2 2 H = { − }{ }{ } − 023 r(r+r )+a2cos2θ 2 2 { } 2Q2racosθ ×M(r2+a2cos2θ)2 r(r+r ) 2Mr+a2cos2θ 2aMrsin2θ −1 2 − − × r(r+r )+a2cos2θ (cid:20) 2 (cid:21) r(r+r )+a2cos2θ −1 2 (r(r+r )+a2cos2θ)(r(r+r )+a2)+2Mra2sin2θ × r(r+r ) 2Mr+a2 ×{ 2 2 } (cid:20)(cid:18) 2 − (cid:19) (cid:21) and r(r+r )+a2cos2θ 2Mr [ r(r+r )+a2cos2θ r(r+r )+a2 +2Mra2sin2θ]+(2Mrasin2θ)2 2 2 2 H = { − }{ }{ } 031 r(r+r )+a2cos2θ 2 2 { } Q2 asinθ a2sin2θcosθ + ×M r2+a2cos2θ (r2+a2cos2θ)2 (cid:20) (cid:21) r(r+r ) 2Mr+a2cos2θ 2aMrsin2θ −1 2 − − × r(r+r )+a2cos2θ (cid:20) 2 (cid:21) r(r+r )+a2cos2θ −1 2 (r(r+r )+a2cos2θ)(r(r+r )+a2)+2Mra2sin2θ × r(r+r ) 2Mr+a2 ×{ 2 2 } (cid:20)(cid:18) 2 − (cid:19) (cid:21) These expressions of the KR field strength determines the energy density of the KR field which acts is the source of the rotational energy of the black hole. Thus we arrive at the existence of non-spherically symmetric solutions for the Kalb-Ramond field strength corresponding to this class of rotating black hole solutions where the axion and therefore the Kalb-Ramond field acts as the source of rotation of the black hole and thus generates an axisymmetric solution from a spherically symmetric dilaton solution. As discussed earlier,this can also be interpreted as the torsion in the background spacetime and thus from a Riemannian spacetime we generate an Einstein-Cartan like spacetime. 3 Horizon structure As we have seen in the previous section, the metric obtained from the Einstein-Maxwell-axion-dilaton gravityresemblesthe Kerrrotatingblack hole metric witha modificationcausedby the termr . This is 2 actually the asymptotic value of the dilaton along with a multiplicative constant. Thus we have a Kerr solutionmodifiedbythepresenceofthedilatonfield. Wenowstudythehorizonstructureofthismetric. 3 We begin with the co-ordinate singularity arising from ∆=0, r(r+r ) 2Mr+a2 =0 (13) 2 − The event horizons are then at r r 2 r± = M 2 M 2 a2 (14) − 2 ± − 2 − r (cid:16) (cid:17) (cid:16) (cid:17) The metric shows time translation symmtery as well as axial symmetry, due to the independence of t and φ in the metric componenets. This gives rise to a timelike Killing vectors τµ and a Killing vector arising out of the axial symmetry ηµ. The inner product of the timelike Killing vector gives us, 2Mr τ τµ =1 (15) µ − r(r+r )+a2cos2θ 2 This quantity becomes positive at the event horizon and like the case of the Kerr black hole it becomes zero at a hypersurface at a distance greater than the radius of the event horizon. Let this radius be r e and it is given by, r r 2 r = M 2 M 2 a2cos2θ (16) e − 2 ± − 2 − r (cid:16) (cid:17) (cid:16) (cid:17) The region in between r and r is known as the ergosphere. e + The maximum angular velocity that a particle can travel with, due to the rotation of the black hole is that of a photon on the event horizon r , moving along an equatorial orbit. We define the angular + velocityofthis photonto be the angularvelocity ofthe black hole. In this case,asthe photonis moving along the event horizon, we have the condition, ∆=0 (17) Therefore we have r(r+r )+a2 =2Mr (18) 2 Considering a light ray that is being emitted in the φ direction in the θ =π/2 equatorialorbit, we have the condition for it to be null as, ds2 =g dt2+g (dtdφ+dφdt)+g dφ2 =0 (19) tt tφ φφ This yields, 2 dφ g g g tφ tφ tt = (20) dt −gφφ ±s(cid:18)gφφ(cid:19) − gφφ Using this equation,we find the angular velocity of the photon to be dφ =0 (21) dt and dφ a = =Ω (22) H dt 2Mr + The zero solution indicates that the photon is not moving at all in this frame. The non-zero solution shows the angular velocity with which the photon is being dragged around in the same direction as the hole’s rotation. The angular velocity of the event horizon itself is defined as the maximum angular velocity of a particle at the horizon. This quantity is given as, a ω = (23) H 2Mr + 4 4 Energy extraction and the Penrose process A calculationof conservationof energyand angular momentum for a particle in the ergospherecan lead to an energy extraction process demonstrated by Roger Penrose in the case of a Kerr black hole. Here we consider the procedure followed in [10]. Briefly this shows that a particle, in the ergosphere breaks up into two parts such that one part falls into the event horizon of the black hole and the other escapes out into the external universe, in a manner in which, the escaping particle can be shown to have more energy than the originalparticle before it breaks apartinto two fragments. This excess energy is said to be gained from the rotational energy of the black hole. By repeating this process again and again the black hole slows down gradually until the rotation stops altogether and the Kerr black hole becomes a Swarzschild black hole. Estimation of energy extraction Assume that a particle on entering the ergospherebreaks up into two particles A andB. Before breakingup, the four momentum ofthe whole particle wasp(0)µ, andthe energy was E = τ p(0)µ. This energy is positive and conserved along its geodesic. When the particle µ − breaks up into smaller particles, then the four momentum and energy are conserved. p(0)µ =p(A)µ+p(B)µ (24) E(0) =E(A)+E(B) (25) Herep(A)µ andp(B)µ arethefourmomentumsofthetwoconstituentparticlesandE(A) andE(B) arethe correspondingenergies. Fromtheaboveequationsthefollowinganalysiscanbemade. Ifthemomentum ofthe secondparticlebesuchthatits energyisnegative,Penroseshowedthattheinitialmomentumcan be arranged so that afterwards a geodesic trajectory can be followed from the Killing horizon back into the external universe. Energy still remains conserved along this path and we have, E(A) >E(0) (26) This implies that the energy with which the first particle leaves the Killing horizon is more than the energy with which it entered. This energy extraction has come from the rotational energy of the black hole, which in effect originates from the energy density of the axion/KR field. We now define a new Killing vector, taking into account the modification caused by the dilaton field, as, r −1 χµ =τµ+ 1 2 Ω ηµ (27) H − 4M (cid:16) (cid:17) For a particle B which crosses the event horizon moving forward in time p(B)µχ <0 (28) µ Using the definitions of E and L as E = τ pµ and L=η pµ, we get, µ µ − r E(B) L(B) < 1 2 (29) − 4M Ω H (cid:16) (cid:17) As E(B) is taken to be negative and Ω , the black hole’s angular momentum, is positive, the particle H must have a negative angularmomentum. In other wordsit must be moving againstthe hole’s rotation. OncetheparticleAescapesoutintotheexternaluniverseandtheparticleB fallsintotheeventhorizon, the energy and angular momentum of the black hole are changed by the negative contributions of the particle B that has fallen into it. Thus we have, δM =E(B) (30) δJ =L(B) (31) The total angular momentum of the black hole J is given by, J =Ma (32) Thus equation (26) becomes r δM 2 δJ < 1 (33) − 4M Ω H (cid:16) (cid:17) 5 TofindthelimitofenergyextractioninthecaseofaKerrblackhole,aquantityknownastheirreducible mass is defined as follows, A M2 = (34) irr 16π where A is the area of the event horizon. δ(M2 ) can shown to be always greater than zero. irr We find the area of the black hole at the event horizon by defining a constant-time hypersurface at r =r . The metric of this hypersurface is, + 2Mr 2 dΛ2 =Σ˜2dθ2+ + sin2θdφ2 (35) + Σ˜ (cid:18) (cid:19) The area is then calculated from the relation dA=√gθθgφφdθdφ (36) which gives, π 2π A=2Mr sinθdθ dφ=8πMr (37) + + Z0 Z0 When the Kerr parameter ’a’ goes to zero, we get the area of the event horizon of a charged dilaton black hole, r 2 A =16πM M (38) dilaton − 2 (cid:16) (cid:17) The square of the irreducible mass gives us A Mr M2 = = + (39) irr 16π 2 which turns out to be, 2 1 Mr Mr M2 = M2 2 + M2 2 J2 (40) irr 2 − 2 s − 2 −  (cid:18) (cid:19) (cid:18) (cid:19)   Thus, a r δ(M2 )= 1 2 Ω−1δM δJ (41) irr 2 M r2 2 a2 − 4M H − − 2 − h(cid:16) (cid:17) i q Therighthandsideisgreaterthanzer(cid:0)obythe(cid:1)inequality(33)andthuswecansaythatM isthelimit irr to which the energy of the black hole can be extracted. The maximum amount of energy extraction can be defined by taking into considerationthe energy of the black hole that remains after the energy of the axion from the KR field has been exhausted. In the absence of the axion, we are left with pure dilaton coupled gravity and the energy that remains is the energy of the charged non-rotating dilaton black hole. From the entropic definition of the irreducible mass (as black hole entropy is proportionalto the area of its event horizon) we can define a quantity similar to the irreducible mass of the charged axion-dilaton black hole. Let the square of this quantity M be defined as, dilaton A r M2 = dilaton =M M 2 (42) dilaton 16π − 2 (cid:16) (cid:17) The maximum amount of energy extracted before the rotation of the black hole stops can now be found as the ∆M =M M (43) dilaton irr − This quantity becomes, r M r r 2 ∆M = M M 2 M 2 + M 2 a2 (44) r − 2 −vu 2 ( − 2 r − 2 − ) (cid:16) (cid:17) u (cid:16) (cid:17) (cid:16) (cid:17) t 6 Remembering that r = Q2e2Φ0 the variationof the energy extractionwith the dilaton parameter r 2 M 2 is plotted,taking M = 2 and r = 1 as follows. If we take the asymtotic value of the dilaton Φ to be 2 0 zero then from the above expression we have Q2 =2. 0.35 sqrt(2*(2-0.5*x))-sqrt((2-0.5*x)+sqrt((2-0.5*x)**2 -1)) 0.3 d 0.25 e t c a r t ex 0.2 y g r e n 0.15 E 0.1 0.05 0 1 2 3 4 5 Value of r_2 As canbe seenfromthe figure the amountofenergyextractionreduces with the asymptotic value of the dilaton. The rate of change of this decrease with the decrease of the dilaton field strength.

When the axion parameter goes to zero, the ergosphere vanishes and the energy extraction stops, as expected. 5 Conclusion The Newman Janis prescription has been used to generate inequivalent black hole solutions, that is, from the spherically symmetric charged dilaton coupled gravity solution to the axisymmetric charged axion-dilaton coupled solution. [6]. The axion in four dimension is dual to Kalb-Ramond field strength 7 whichcanequivalentlybeinterpretedasspace-timetorsionandthusaxisymmetricchargedaxion-dilaton metricwhichresemblestheKerrmetric,isablackholesolutioninastringinspiredtorsionedspace-time. We haveexplicitply constructedvariouscomponents for the torsionfromthe axionfield which inturn is reponsibleforrenderingangularmomentumto the blackhole. We thereforeexpectanenergyextraction process in a manner similar to the well-known Penrose process. The presence of dilaton also influences the space-time geometry and the energy extraction process. We show that at the end of the energy extraction, when the energy from the rotational energy of the black hole ( or equivalently the energy of the axion or the Kalb Ramond field) has been used up, we are left with a pure charged non-rotating dilaton black hole. This is, as already mentioned, a spherically symmetric geometry of spacetime and hence we cannot expect any further energy to be extracted from the dilaton energy by means of the Penrose process. As the black hole entropy is proportional to the area of its event horizon, we can define a quantity knownasthe irreduciblemassforthe axion-dilatonblackholeproportionalto the areaofits outerevent horizon. The change in this quantity for the axion-dilaton black hole can always shown to be positive by defining the inner product of the four momentum of a test particle with a Killing vector which is actually alinear combinationofthe timelike andaxialKilling vectorsin the chargedaxion-dilatonblack hole spacetime. When the energy of the axion is fully extracted, we are left with a pure chargeddilaton black hole with a remnant entropy proportional to the area of the event horizon of the dilaton black hole. The difference between these two quantities measures the maximumamountof energythat canbe extractedbeforetherotationoftheblackholefinallystopsandtheenergyoftheaxionisfullyextracted. The amount of energy extracted is plotted against the parameter measuring the dilaton and the axion field strength. The amount of energy extracted as well as the rate of extraction are found to decrease with the decrease in the dilaton and the axion field strength. In this work,we havethus shownthat by anenergy extractionprocess similar to the Penroseprocess, thegeometryofthespacetimeisbeingaltered. TheenergyisbeingextractedfromtheaxionoftheKalb- Ramond field (or equivalently the rotational energy of the black hole). In the presence of the axion, we have an Einstein-Cartan like spacetime,due to the equivalent description of the axion as a torsion of spacetime. When the energy of the axion is extracted fully , we are left with a charged pure dilaton black hole, described via torsionless geometry. This picture is however is a matter of interpretation depending on whether one would like to interpret the KR field or the equivalent axion as an external tensor field or through the antisymmetric connection of space-time geometry. 6 Ackowledgements CGwouldliketothanktheInlaksShivdasaniFoundationandtheCambridgeNehruBursaryforfunding her during her studies in the University of Cambridge where part of this work was done.
