Effect of NUT parameter on the analytic extension of the Cauchy horizon that develop in colliding wave spacetimes

The Cauchy horizon forming colliding wave solution due to Chandrasekhar and Xanthopoulos (CX) has been generalized by inclusion of the NUT (Newman - Unti - Tamburino) parameter. This is done by transforming the part of the inner horizon region of a Kerr-Newman-NUT black hole into the space of colliding waves. By taking appropriate combination of Killing vectors and analytically extending beyond the Cauchy horizon the time-like hyperbolic sigularities are resolved as well. This provides another example of its kind among the type - D metrics with special emphasis on the role of the NUT parameter. Finally, it is shown that horizons of colliding higher dimensional plane waves obtained from the black p-branes undergoes a similar procedure of analytic extension.Comment: 26 pages. 3 ps figure

Formation of Wormholes by Dark Matter in the Galaxy Dragonfly 44

Recently, ultra diffuse galaxy (UDG) of Dragonfly 44 in the Coma Cluster was observed and observations of the rotational speed suggest that its mass is almost same as the mass of the Milky Way. On the other hand, interestingly, the galaxy emits only 1 \% of the light emitted by the Milky Way. Then, astronomers reported that Dragonfly 44 may be made almost entirely of dark matter. In this study we try to show that the dark matter that constitutes Dragonfly 44 can form the wormhole or not. Two possible dark matter profiles are used, namely, ultra diffuse galaxy King's model and generalized Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) dark matter profile. We have shown that King's model dark matter profile does not manage to provide wormhole whereas generalized Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) dark matter profile is managed to find wormholes.Comment: 8 pages, two columns.

Colliding Wave Solutions in a Symmetric Non-metric Theory

A method is given to generate the non-linear interaction (collision) of linearly polarized gravity coupled torsion waves in a non-metric theory. Explicit examples are given in which strong mutual focussing of gravitational waves containing impulsive and shock components coupled with torsion waves does not result in a curvature singularity. However, the collision of purely torsion waves displays a curvature singularity in the region of interaction.Comment: 16 pages, 1 ps figure, It will appear in Int. Jour. of Theor. Physic

New Singular and Nonsingular Colliding Wave Solutions in Einstein - Maxwell - Scalar Theory

A technique is given to generate coupled scalar field solutions in colliding Einstein - Maxwell (EM) waves. By employing the Bell - Szekeres solution as seed and depending on the chosen scalar field it is possible to construct nonsingular solutions. If the original EM solution is already singular addition of scalar fields does not make the physics any better. In particular, scalar field solution that is transformable to spherical symmetry is plagued with singularities.Comment: 15 pages, To be published in GR

The Effect of Sources on the Inner Horizon of Black Holes

Single pulse of null dust and colliding null dusts both transform a regular horizon into a space-like singularity in the space of colliding waves. The local isometry between such space-times and black holes extrapolates these results to the realm of black holes. However, inclusion of particular scalar fields instead of null dusts creates null singularities rather than space-like ones on the inner horizons of black holes.Comment: Final version to appear in PR

General Relativistic Fall on a Thick-Plate

As an extension of a thin-shell, we adopt a single parametric plane-symmetric Kasner-type spacetime to represent an exact thick-plate. This naturally extends the domain wall spacetime to a domain thick-wall case. Physical properties of such a plate with symmetry axis $z$ and thickness $0\leq z\leq z_{0}$ are investigated. Geodesic analysis determines the possibility of a Newtonian-like fall, namely with constant negative acceleration as it is near the Earth's surface. This restricts the Kasner-like exponents to a finely-tuned set, which together with the thickness and energy parameter determine the G-force of the plate. In contrast to the inverse square law, the escape velocity of the thick-shell is unbounded. The metric is regular everywhere but expectedly the energy-momentum of the thick-plate remains problematic.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figur
