Quantum-corrected self-dual black hole entropy in tunneling formalism with GUP

Abstract In this paper we focus on the Hamilton–Jacobi method to determine the entropy of a self-dual black hole by using linear and quadratic GUPs (generalized uncertainty principles). We have obtained the Bekenstein–Hawking entropy of self-dual black holes and its quantum corrections that are logarithm and also of several other types.

Acoustic black holes from Abelian Higgs model with Lorentz symmetry breaking

Abstract In this Letter we derive acoustic black hole metrics in the ( 3 + 1 ) and ( 2 + 1 )-dimensional Abelian Higgs model with Lorentz symmetry breaking. In this set up the sound waves lose the Lorentz boost invariance and suffer a ‘birefringence’ effect. We have found acoustic black holes and respective Hawking temperatures depending on the Lorentz violating parameter. Furthermore, we obtain an acoustic Kerr-like black hole metric with the Lorentz violating term affecting its rate of loss of mass. We also have shown that for suitable values of the Lorentz violating parameter a wider spectrum of particle wave function can be scattered with increased amplitude by the acoustic black hole.

Superresonance effect from a rotating acoustic black hole and Lorentz symmetry breaking

Abstract We investigate the possibility of the acoustic superresonance phenomenon (analog to the superradiance in black hole physics), i.e., the amplification of a sound wave by reflection from the ergoregion of a rotating acoustic black hole with Lorentz symmetry breaking. For rotating black holes the effect of superradiance corresponds to the situation where the incident waves have reflection coefficient greater than one, and energy is extracted from them. For an acoustic Kerr-like black hole its rate of loss of mass is affected by the Lorentz symmetry breaking. We also have shown that for suitable values of the Lorentz-violating parameter a wider spectrum of particle wave function can be scattered with increased amplitude by the acoustic black hole.

Gravitational Aharonov-Bohm effect due to noncommutative BTZ black hole

Abstract In this paper we consider the scattering of massless planar scalar waves by a noncommutative BTZ black hole. We compute the differential cross section via the partial wave approach, and we mainly show that the scattering of planar waves leads to a modified Aharonov–Bohm effect due to spacetime noncommutativity.

The entropy of the noncommutative acoustic black hole based on generalized uncertainty principle

Abstract In this paper we investigate statistical entropy of a 3-dimensional rotating acoustic black hole based on generalized uncertainty principle. In our results we obtain an area entropy and a correction term associated with the noncommutative acoustic black hole when λ introduced in the generalized uncertainty principle takes a specific value. However, in this method, it is not needed to introduce the ultraviolet cut-off and divergences are eliminated. Moreover, the small mass approximation is not necessary in the original brick-wall model.

Superluminal neutrinos from Lorentz-violating dimension-5 operators

We consider Lorentz- and CPT-violating dimension-5 operators to address the issue of superluminal neutrinos recently pointed out in OPERA experiments. We assume these operators in the photon and neutrino sectors to be coupled to Lorentz-violating backgrounds in a preferred frame defined by a time-like direction. We show that such operators can produce a curve with OPERA’s slope that fits OPERA, MINOS and supernova SN1987a data.

Lorentz-violating Chern–Simons action under high temperature in massless QED

Lorentz and CPT violating QED with massless fermions at finite temperature is studied. We show that there is no ambiguity in the induced coefficient of the Chern–Simons-like term that defines the so-called Carroll–Field–Jackiw model at high temperature. We also show that this system constitutes an example where the breaking of CPT and Lorentz symmetries is more severe at high temperature than in the zero temperature case thus precluding any naive expectations of Lorentz symmetry restoration.

Quantum correction to the entropy of noncommutative BTZ black hole

In this paper we consider the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) in the tunneling formalism via Hamilton–Jacobi method to determine the quantum-corrected Hawking temperature and entropy for noncommutative BTZ black hole. In our results we obtain several types of corrections including the expected logarithmic correction to the area entropy associated with the noncommutative BTZ black holes. We also show that the area entropy product of the noncommutative BTZ black holes is dependent on mass and by analyzing the nature of the specific heat capacity we have observed that the noncommutative BTZ black hole is stable at some range of parameters.

Lorentz-violating dimension-five operator contribution to the black body radiation

Abstract We investigate the thermodynamics of a photon gas in an effective field theory model that describes Lorentz violations through dimension-five operators and Horava–Lifshitz theory. We explore the electrodynamics of the model which includes higher order derivatives in the Lagrangian that can modify the dispersion relation for the propagation of the photons. We shall focus on the deformed black body radiation spectrum and modified Stefan–Boltzmann law to address the allowed bounds on the Lorentz-violating parameter.
