1. Introduction
The presence of black holes is one of the important predictions of general relativity, and this prediction has been proven to be true by the LIGO-Virgo collaborations through the direct observation of gravitational waves [
1]. In recent years, there are a large number of works on the study of black holes, such as the black hole shadow, deflection angle, quasinormal modes, thermodynamic phase transitions and other topics [
2,
3,
4,
5,
6,
7,
8,
9,
10,
11].
It is well known that gravitation, quantum theory, and thermodynamics are connected deeply by Hawking radiation of black holes and a lot of success has been achieved. However, black hole radiation also raises some puzzles. One serious puzzle is the information loss paradox proposed by Hawking [
12]. By using the semiclassical approximation, he found that the emitted radiation is exactly thermal and is determined only by the geometry of the black hole outside the horizon. Therefore, the radiation has nothing to do with the detailed structure of the body that collapses to form the black hole. Since there are correlations between the accessible degrees of freedom outside the horizon and the inaccessible degrees of freedom behind the horizon, the radiation detected by observers outside the horizon is in a mixed state. After the black hole completely evaporates, the radiation is the whole system. Therefore, an initially pure quantum state of the body that can be precisely known has evolved to a mixed state that cannot be predicted with certainty. However, this contradicts with the unitarity of operators required by quantum mechanics, for which the evolution of a pure state to a mixed state is forbidden. This is the information loss paradox [
13].
In order to solve the information loss puzzle, some resolutions have been proposed. In some resolutions, the information could come out with the Hawking radiation and all of the information could come out at the end of the Hawking radiation. In other resolutions, it could be retained by a stable black hole remnant [
14] or be encoded in “quantum hair” [
15,
16,
17]. The information even can escape to a “baby universe” [
18,
19]. However, there was no satisfactory resolution at an early stage [
13]. Later development indicates that this paradox can be resolved in string theory by a new picture of black holes: fuzzballs, which describe black hole microstates [
20]. In this fuzzball paradigm, the black hole is replaced by an object without a horizon and singularity. Besides, there are other ideas such as firewalls [
21], entanglement [
22], island and entanglement wedge reconstruction [
23,
24,
25].
In 2000, Parikh and Wilczek [
26] presented a consistent derivation of Hawking radiation as a tunneling process and found that the Hawking radiation spectrum is nonthermal because of conservation laws. This nonthermality of the radiation allows the possibility of information-carrying correlations between subsequently emitted particles in the radiation.
Zhang and Cai et al. [
27] discovered correlations among Hawking radiations from a black hole by using standard statistical method. Then, by considering the mutual information carried by such correlations, they found that the black hole evaporation process is unitary and the black hole information is conserved. It was found that there is an even deep origin of nonthermal nature of Hawing radiation without referring to the horizon geometry [
28]. Recently, by considering the canonical typicality, Ma and Sun et al. [
29] showed that the nonthermal radiation spectrum is independent of the detailed quantum tunneling dynamics, and the black hole information paradox could be naturally resolved with the correlations between the black hole and its radiation.
The correlation information is dark because it can not be locally observed in principle even though the Hawking radiation can be finally measured experimentally [
30]. This information is called dark information, which can be measured nonlocally only with two or more detectors. Such coincidence measurement is similar to the Hanbury–Brown–Twiss experiment for the coincidence counting in quantum optics [
31].
Recently, the influence of dark energy on black hole radiation and dark information was studied in [
30] by the approach of canonical typicality. It was found that, with the existence of dark energy, the black hole has lower Hawking temperature and hence longer lifetime. Furthermore, dark energy will enhance the nonthermal effect of the black hole radiation and raise the dark information of the radiation [
30].
It is well known that dark matter and dark energy compose about
and
of our universe, respectively. Dark matter affects and accounts for the evolution of our universe, the formation of large-scale structure, and galaxy rotation curves [
32]. Especially, there is a great deal of dark matter in each galaxy. As the case of dark energy, we have also many candidates for dark matter, such as weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), super WIMPs, light gravitinos, sterile neutrinos, hidden dark matter, axions, and primordial black holes [
33,
34,
35,
36]. In this paper, inspired by the work [
30], we would like to investigate the effect of the
fluid on the Hawking radiation and dark information of the black hole. The
fluid theory was proposed in [
37] to give a unified description of dark matter and dark energy. This field theory contains two scalar fields, but has only one single degree of freedom. In this theory, the fluid velocity is always tangent to geodesics and hence it can mimic “dust". However, unlike a standard cold dark matter fluid, the
fluid carries pressure parallel to its fluid velocity. We will consider such
fluid and find the solution of an uncharged spherically symmetric black hole. Then, we will study the Hawking radiation and dark information for the black hole with the
fluid.
This paper is organized as follows. In
Section 2, we review the the
fluid theory briefly and derive the Einstein equations for a spherically symmetric metric. In
Section 3, we look for an analytical black hole solution in an asymptotic flat spacetime and analyze its properties. In
Section 4, we calculate the black hole mass, temperature and entropy. Then, the radiation spectrum and dark information of the black hole with the
fluid are calculated in
Section 5 and
Section 6, respectively. In the end, conclusions and discussions are given in
Section 7.
2. Einstein Equations in the Fluid Theory
In this section, we will give a brief introduction to the
fluid theory and derive the Einstein equations for a spherically symmetric spacetime. We consider the following action
where the Lagrangian
for the scalar fields is described by the
fluid theory [
37]:
Here,
X is a standard kinetic term for the scalar field
,
,
is a “Lagrange multiplier” having no kinetic term,
K is a function of
and
X, and
is a function of
. It can be seen that the perssure is identically vanishing without the term
K. The Lagrange multiplier
enforces a constraint between the value of the scalar field
and the norm of its derivative. Thus, the dynamics of the
fluid is determined by two first-order ordinary differential equations and there are no propagating wave-like degrees of freedom [
37].
It is worth noting that the mimetic gravity proposed in [
38] is in fact a special case of the above
fluid theory. The action for the mimetic gravity is given by
which can be obtained from (
1) and (
2) by taking
and
. In this theory, the conformal degree of freedom of the metric is isolated in a covariant way. This is done by rewriting the physical metric
in terms of an auxiliary metric
and a scalar field
[
38]. The explicit relation between them is given by
As a consequence, the scalar field satisfies the following constraint
It is shown that, under the conformal transformation of the auxiliary metric:
with
a function of the spacetime coordinates, the physical metric is invariant. For a review on the mimetic gravity, see [
39].
In this paper, we consider the simple case of
since the kinetic term
X is constained to be
by the Lagrange multiplier. Thus, the Lagrangian (
2) can be rewritten as
The equations of motion (EoMs) are obtained by varying the above action (
1) with respect to
,
and
, respectively:
Here the notation is defined as and the d’Alembert operator is given by .
We consider the following spherically symmetric metric
where
. With this metric assumption, Equations (
7)–(
9) read
where the primes denote the derivatives with respect to the coordinate
r. Equations (
11) and (
15) give, respectively, the solutions of the scalar potentials
and
as functions of
r after the metric function
and the scalar filed
are known:
Substituting the above solution (
16) into Equations (
12) and (
13), we get the solution of the Lagrange multiplier
and the relationship between
and
:
Then, considering
,
and substituting Equations (
16)–(
19) into Equation (
15), one can easily show that the equation of motion of the scalar field
(
15) is satisfied automatically. Therefore, there are only four independent field equations, e.g., Equations (
16)–(
19). Usually, by giving the expressions of the scalar potential
and
, we can solve all of the field equations. However, it is very hard to obtain an analytic solution via this method. Note that the field equation for the function
is of the second order, once
and
are given, we could get the analytic solution for
,
,
and
.
3. Solutions
In this section, we look for an analytical solution with asymptotic flat spacetime for the case of a constant Lagrange multiplier. Our solution is given by
where
,
s is a positive scalar parameter, and
Here,
is the Euler gamma function and
the incomplete gamma function. Note that the Lagrange multiplier
does not affect the metric functions directly in the above solution. The shapes of the metric functions
and
are shown in
Figure 1. Other static spherically symmetric black hole or wormhole solutions with
can be found in [
40].
For a small scalar reduced parameter
, we have
which show that the above black hole solution will become the Schwarzschild one when the scalar parameter vanishes. The relation of the parameter
M (the mass of the black hole, see the discussion later) and the horizon radius of the black hole is given by
which can be approximated as
for the small
. Note that, since
in the lowest order of
, we can replace
in the above expression with
. Hereinafter, we omit the term
. From the above expression (
30), we can get the approximate solution of the horizon radius
For simplicity, we define a new dimensionless parameter
and rewrite the horizon radius as
The relation between the horizon radius
and the scalar parameter
s is shown in
Figure 2, from which it can be seen that the expression (
33) is accurate for
. Especially, the horizon radius will decrease slowly first and then rapidly with the increasing of the scalar parameter. Our result shows that the
fluid will decrease the horizon radius of the black hole. This could be understood as the attractive effect of the
fluid, which is opposite to the repulsive effect of dark energy driving the expansion of the universe [
30].
The asymptotic behaviors at spatial infinity
and at origin
are, respectively,
and
From the last two expressions, one can see that
and
for
, which is confirmed from
Figure 1. Therefore, for a given mass
M, the condition for having an event horizon is
The left figure in
Figure 2 shows that the horizon radius approaches its maximum
and minimum
when the scalar parameter approaches its minimum
and its maximum
, respectively. On the other hand, for a fixed scalar parameter
s, the condition (
38) becomes
which is different from the case of the Schwarzschild solution for nonvanishing
s. The right figure in
Figure 2 shows that the horizon radius decreases linearly with the decrease of the mass
M for large
M, i.e.,
. However, when the mass approaches to its minimum given in (
39), the horizon radius drops quickly to zero.
The invariant of the combinations of the Riemann curvature, the Kretschman scalar, for the small
is
where the first term on the right-hand side is the result of the Schwarzschild solution. However, note that the singularity behavior of the above invariant at
is very different from that of the Schwarzschild black hole
It is clear that there is another singularity factor
in (
41) besides
. The shapes of the scalar curvature
R and
are shown in
Figure 3.
Next, we analyze the spacetime structure of the black hole solution. For convenience, we let
where
In order to analyze the causal structure of the black hole, we calculate the metric in Kruskal–Szekeres coordinates. First, we define the tortoise coordinate
:
where
. In order to integrate the above equation, we expand the function
around the horizon to the first order:
Here, we have used the fact
. Note that the parameter
is a function of
M and
s. Therefore, when
, the relation between
and
r has the following form:
which shows that the surface at the horizon has been pushed to infinity in the tortoise coordinate. For the case of
, we have
. When
, the relation becomes
With the coordinate translation (
45), the metric (
10) is given by
It is clear that the causal structure outside the horizon, which is described by
, is almost the same as the Schwarzshild black hole for the case of
. The tortoise coordinate is only sensibly related to the coordinate
r when
. Therefore, we introduce coordinates
u and
v:
It can be seen that
constant and
v = constant denote outgoing and ingoing radial null geodesics, respectively. In terms of Eddington–Finkelstein coordinates (
50) and (
51), the metric (
49) is further rewritten as
or
The radial null curves are given by
or
In the (v, r) coordinates, one can cross the event horizon on future-directed curves, while in the (u, r) coordinates, one can pass though the event horizon along past-directed ones. In fact, spacetime has been extended in two different directions, the future and the past.
In the (
u,
v) coordinates, the metric reads
and the horizon
is infinitely far away and it is at either
or
. We can pull them into finite positions by the following transformation:
Now the metric becomes
where
Next, we transform the null coordinates
and
to one timelike coordinate
and one spacelike coordinate
:
Then, the metric in Kruskal–Szekeres coordinates becomes
where
r is defined from
It is clear that the function
is smooth for
and
. We need to know whether it is also smooth at
. To this end, we consider Equations (
46) and (
47) and expand
around
:
which shows that
is smooth at
. Therefore,
is a smooth function of
r for
. When
,
and hence
.
At last, with the following transformation
we obtain the following metric
Note that the range of the coordinates
and
is
,
, and
. From the metric (
68), we draw the Penrose–Carter diagram (also called conformal diagram) in the
coordinates for the black hole solution in
Figure 4, which is similar to the Schwarzschild case.
4. Black Hole Mass, Temperature and Entropy
In this section, we calculate the black hole mass, temperature, and entropy. With the above asymptotic behaviors (
34) and (
35) of the metric functions
k and
f, we can calculate the Komar integral associated with the timelike Killing vector
, i.e., the total energy of the corresponding static spacetime,
Therefore, the parameter
M is the mass of the black hole. The relation of the black hole mass and the horizon radius is given in Equations (
30) and (
31).
Next, we calculate the Hawking temperature of the black hole. From the formula
where
is a Killing vector on the Killing horizon
, we can calculate the Hawking temperature with the existence of the
fluid
where
For small scalar parameter
s, it becomes
The above result shows that, compared with the Schwarzschild case , the fluid increases the Hawking temperature of the black hole.
At last, we calculate the black hole entropy. The scalar parameter
s should be treated as a new thermodynamic variable. Then, the black hole first law reads
where
is a thermodynamic quantity conjugated to
s. For fixed
s, the entropy can be calculated with
To the second order of
, the entropy is given by
or
It is obvious that the relation of the Schwarzschild black hole has been modified by the fluid.
5. Black Hole Radiation Spectrum with the Fluid
It is known that nothing can escape from the horizon of a black hole in classical general relativity. However, by considering the effect of quantum field theory, Hawking found that a positive energy particle from a pair created virtually around the black hole horizon can escape from the horizon through tunneling, and this process results in the famous Hawking radiation. It was shown that the black hole radiation spectrum obeys the thermal distribution [
41,
42]. This will result in the black hole information paradox since the entropy will increase through the Hawking process.
In [
27], the authors showed that the black hole radiation spectrum is not perfectly thermal but nonthermal if the constraint of energy conservation is introduced, and the problem of the information paradox can be solved. In fact, there were other different schemes for this problem, see [
16,
26,
43,
44,
45,
46,
47,
48] for examples.
In this section, we use the statistical mechanical method introduced in [
29,
30] to calculate the nonthermal black hole radiation spectrum, which describes the statistical distribution of the radiated particles’s energy. This method is based on canonical typicality [
29,
49,
50,
51]. We first give a brief review of this method.
The density matrix of a black hole B with mass
M, charge
Q and angular momentum
J is given by
where
and
are the
ith eigenstate and the number of microstates of the black hole, respectively. Now, we consider Hawking radiation. When particles are radiated from the black hole, the black hole system can be viewed as two parts, the radiation field R with mass
, charge
q, and angular momentum
j, and the remaining black hole
with mass
, charge
, and angular momentum
. By considering the conservation of black hole “hairs” and tracing over all the degree of freedom of
, one can obtain the density matrix of R [
29,
30]:
where
is the eigenstate of the radiation field, and the distribution probability of the radiation is turned out to be [
29,
30]
with the entropy difference between B and
given by
We can calculate the radiation spectrum of a black hole with the above expressions (
80)–(
82).
The corrected radiation spectrum of a Schwarzschild black hole is a function of the black mass or the horizon radius:
which is in accord with the result derived through the quantum tunneling method [
26]. The corrected term
comes from the higher order of the energy
.
For the black hole with the
fluid considered in this paper, the radiation spectrum can be calculated with
where
. Considering the expressions of the entropy (
76), temperature (
71), and mass (
29) and keeping to the second order of
, we have
where
To the second order of
,
The radiation spectrum as a function of the black hole
M is plotted in
Figure 5 for different values of the scalar parameter
s and
. The black hole mass will decrease with the Hawking radiation. It can be seen that the Hawking radiation will be accelerated rapidly at its late stage when the black hole mass approaches to its minimum
, which is given by (
39) and takes the values of
for
, respectively.
Next, we investigate the evaporation process of the black hole with the
fluid based on the radiation spectrum. We mainly calculate the lifetime of the black hole and discuss the effect of the scalar parameter on it. The result (
74) shows that the
fluid increases the Hawking temperature of the black hole, and hence makes the Hawking radiation hotter. The result is opposite to the dark energy case, which is coincident with the fact that the horizon radius of the black hole is reduced by the
fluid, but enlarged by the dark energy. For the case of black hole with the
fluid (dark energy), decreasing (enlarging) of the black hole horizon
will lead to enlarging (decreasing) of the black hole surface gravity
, and hence the Hawking temperature
will become hotter (lower).
In [
52], Sendouda investigated the Hawking radiation of five-dimensional small primordial black holes in the Randall–Sundrum braneworld. It was found that the Hawking temperature of a black hole will be reduced by the large extra dimension and the spectra of emitted particles via Hawking radiation are drastically changed. In [
53], Dai considered the nonrotating black hole in braneworld model and showed that, for the brane with nonzero tension, the horizon radius of the black hole increases with brane tension and hence the brane tension lowers the Hawking temperature of the black hole and the average energy of the emitted particles. These effects are also opposite to our case with the
fluid.
With the expression (
74) of the Hawking temperature, we can calculate the lifetime of the black hole. By following the Stefan–Boltzmann power law, we can write the radiation power of the black hole as a function of the Hawking temperature
where
is the Stefan constant,
is the area of the horizon, and
X and
Y are given by Equations (
72) and (
73), respectively. The radiation power (
90) as a function of the black hole mass
M for different values of the scalar parameter
s is plotted in
Figure 6, which shows that the radiation power will be increased rapidly at the late stage of the Hawking radiation. This is in accordance with the result given in
Figure 5. By considering the energy conservation law for the black hole, we have
which can be written as
where we have used the results of (
33) and (
74). Thus, the lifetime of the black hole evaporating its mass from
M to
can be calculated by integrating the following equation:
Note that the upper limit is
rather than 0, since after the black hole evaporates its mass from
M to
, it is not a black hole anymore. The result is
Consider the expressions (
39) and (
32), we have
where
Note that the corrected term is positive. Therefore, the fluid with small scalar parameter () will speed up the Hawking radiation process, and hence will reduce the lifetime of the black hole.
6. Dark Information Reduced by the Fluid
It has been proved that the nonthermal radiation is the origin of the information correlation between the emissions radiated out from the black hole’s horizon [
27]. Different from the Hawking radiation, this information correlation can not be measured locally. Such information stored in correlation is called dark information, which was proposed to resolve the problem of the black hole information paradox [
27,
28,
29], since the total information of the black hole system is conserved by considering the dark information caused by the noncanonical statistic behavior of the Hawking radiation.
Let us consider two radiated particles a and b that escape from the black hole horizon. Their energy distributions are not independent of each other because of the nonthermal radiation spectrum. Therefore, there are correlation between the two particles. Now, if we use two detectors to detect the two particles separately, then the correlation is hidden and cannot be probed locally. This correlation information can be detected only through the coincidence measurement of the two detectors. Therefore, the information is dark.
In this section, we study the effect of the fluid on this correlation.
The correlation between the two nonindependent events
a and
b can be described with the mutual information [
54]
Here, () is the probability for the event a(b), and the joint probability of a and b. For two independent events, one has and so , i.e., the mutual information vanishes. If the radiation spectrum of a black hole is perfectly thermal, just as the one found by Hawking, then the mutual information among radiations vanishes and so there is no dark information.
Now, we consider two events of the radiation process of particles
a and
b with energy
and
, respectively. According to (
85), the probability for each particle and the joint probability are given by
where
and
are given by Equations (
86) and (
87), respectively. Substituting the above expressions (
98)–(
100) into (
97), we have
By considering the relation
and doing the replacement
, we can rewrite Equation (
101) as
where
and
are, respectively, the internal energy of particles
a and
b:
For the radiation process of the black hole with the
fluid, the explicit form of the dark information is given by
It can be seen that the
fluid will increase the dark information of the Hawking radiation
, which is similar to the case of dark energy found in [
30]. The change of the dark information due to the
fluid can be defined as
which increases with the scalar parameter
s. With the evaporation of the black hole due to the Hawking radiation, the black hole mass decreases and so the additional dark information resulted from the
fluid increases for fixed
,
and
s. This is opposite to the case of dark energy [
30], where the result is
. When the black hole mass reduces to its minimum
given by (
39), the additional dark information reaches its maximum:
Note that this is just an approximate estimate since it is not a small quantity anymore compared with
.
7. Conclusions and Discussion
In this paper, we have investigated the spacetime structure, Hawking radiation spectrum, and dark information of a spherically symmetric black hole in the background of the fluid.
Firstly, with the Langrangian of the
fluid (
6), we obtained a spherically symmetric hair black hole solution with a positive scalar parameter
s and mass
M. This solution has the same asymptotic behavior at spatial infinity as the Schwarzschild black hole except for a high-order correction from the
fluid, but has different behavior near the origin. However, the structure of its Penrose–Carter diagram is similar to the Schwarzschild case. For a fixed scalar parameter
s, the black hole mass has a minimum (
39). The total energy of the black hole is
M. The temperature and entropy of the black hole entropy were calculated. It was found that the entropy is not equal to one quarter of the area of the horizon.
Secondly, we used the statistical mechanical method based on canonical typicality [
29,
30] to calculate the nonthermal black hole radiation spectrum. This spectrum describes the statistical distribution of particle’s energy after the particles cross the horizon through the Hawking process. The analytic result was given by (
85)–(
89) for general and small scalar parameter
s. The exact numerical result was shown in
Figure 5. It was found that, during the Hawking radiation, the distribution probability of the radiation will increase slowly at a very long stage, and then the radiation will be accelerated rapidly at the late stage of the radiation. At last, the black hole mass is reduced to its minimum, but the radius is reduced to zero. The behavior of the radiation at the last stage is very different from the Schwarzschild black hole. It was also shown that the
fluid will speed up the Hawking radiation process and so reduce the lifetime of the black hole.
Lastly, we calculated the dark information reduced by the
fluid by considering the information correlation between the radiated particles. Such information correlation originates from the nonthermal radiation of the black hole and can not be measured locally. The result shows that, similar to the case of dark energy [
30], the dark information of the Hawking radiation is also increased by the
fluid. However, opposite to the case of dark energy, the dark information added by the
fluid increases during the evaporation of the black hole.
Note that, in our analyses, we did not consider the change of the scalar parameter
s. If we consider the reduction of the parameter
s and the mass
M simultaneously, then we know from
Figure 2 and Equation (
30) that the horizon radius, the mass, and the scalar parameter can vanish at the last stage of the black hole. However, for a fixed scalar parameter, when the radius of the black hole shrinks to zero, the mass does not. This can also be seen from
Figure 2. This is very different from the case of the Schwarzschild black hole. According to Equation (
78), the remnant state of the black hole carries non-vanishing entropy. According to Equation (
42) and
Figure 3, it can be seen that the remnant state without a horizon is in fact a naked singularity. If the weak cosmic censorship conjecture is true, then the naked singularity should be hidden behind the event horizon, and thus the horizon radius should be stopped to shrink to zero by some mechanisms such as quantum gravity.
