Static Interaction Of Black Holes In 1+1 Dimensions, Philip Greenwood
Static Interaction Of Black Holes In 1+1 Dimensions, Philip Greenwood
Physics
We consider a version of general relativity in two spacetime dimensions, and
study a solution describing two static black holes in the presence of a cosmological
constant. We first analytically find an embedding diagram to visualize the geometry
outside the black holes. We then examine how the two black holes must be
interacting to remain static. Our main result is to show how the black holes behave
effectively like two electric charges. This charge model exhibits both attraction and
repulsion, which evidently balance and moreover are localized in different regions
of space. We also begin an investigation of the black …
