Vaidya spacetime in the diagonal coordinates

Abstract

We have analyzed the transformation from initial coordinates (v, r) of the Vaidya metric with light coordinate v to the most physical diagonal coordinates (t, r). An exact solution has been obtained for the corresponding metric tensor in the case of a linear dependence of the mass function of the Vaidya metric on light coordinate v. In the diagonal coordinates, a narrow region (with a width proportional to the mass growth rate of a black hole) has been detected near the visibility horizon of the Vaidya accreting black hole, in which the metric differs qualitatively from the Schwarzschild metric and cannot be represented as a small perturbation. It has been shown that, in this case, a single set of diagonal coordinates (t, r) is insufficient to cover the entire range of initial coordinates (v, r) outside the visibility horizon; at least three sets of diagonal coordinates are required, the domains of which are separated by singular surfaces on which the metric components have singularities (either g00 = 0 or g00 = ∞.). The energy-momentum tensor diverges on these surfaces; however, the tidal forces turn out to be finite, which follows from an analysis of the deviation equations for geodesics. Therefore, these singular surfaces are exclusively coordinate singularities that can be referred to as false firewalls because there are no physical singularities on them. We have also considered the transformation from the initial coordinates to other diagonal coordinates (η, y), in which the solution is obtained in explicit form, and there is no energy-momentum tensor divergence.

Physical black holes in cosmological spacetimes

“…where a in < a is the scale factor at which the object becomes cosmologically coupled and p 0. This mechanism explains the local mass scaling, such as the one present in the McVittie metric (63), but does not capture the local dynamics. We begin the procedure of embedding a PBH into a spatially flat FRLW background by writing its metric in the form of Eq.…”

“…Different aspects of the black hole geometry are best captured by different coordinate systems. However, transformations between them are difficult [50], and where exact coordinate transformations do exist, multiple coordinate patches are required to cover the entire spacetime [63]. In what follows we assume a linear evaporation law, such that…”

Stellar instability from parametric resonance

“…As mentioned above, such an exterior stationary metric is needed to support the interior scalar field dynamics. For the case of stable configurations, the perpetual bounded oscillating interior spacetime could in principle be matched with some sort of Vaidya spacetime [26]. For the case of unstable configurations on the other hand, the same procedure could be performed considering a Vaidya layer before its extension to the Reissner-Nordstöm-de Sitter exterior solution [27].…”

“…On the one hand, it is conceivable that the horizon crossing time according to Bob becomes finite. 146 On the other hand, if r g recedes faster the particle approaches it, there will be no crossing at all. We investigate both of these non-classical possibilities: (i) that Alice's and Bob's times are finite, and (ii) that horizon crossing does not happen.…”
