Charged, rotating black holes in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory
Abstract
The asymptotically flat, electrically charged, rotating black holes (BHs) in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton (EMd) theory are known in closed form for \textit{only} two particular values of the dilaton coupling constant : the Einstein-Maxwell coupling (), corresponding to the Kerr-Newman (KN) solution, and the Kaluza-Klein coupling (). Rotating solutions with arbitrary are known only in the slow-rotation or weakly charged limits. In this work, we numerically construct such EMd BHs with arbitrary . We present an overview of the parameter space of the solutions for illustrative values of together with a study of their basic properties. The solutions are in general KN-like; there are however, new features. The data suggest that the spinning solutions with possess a zero temperature limit, which, albeit regular in terms of curvature invariants, exhibits a -singularity. A different limiting behaviour is found for , in which case, moreover, we have found hints of BH non-uniqueness for the same global charges.
