Rotating systems, universal features in dragging and anti-dragging effects, and bounds onto angular momentum
Abstract
We consider stationary, axially symmetric toroids rotating around spinless black holes, assuming the general-relativistic Keplerian rotation law, in the first post-Newtonian approximation. Numerical investigation shows that the angular momentum accumulates almost exclusively within toroids. It appears that various types of dragging (anti-dragging) effects are positively correlated with the ratio ( is the mass of a toroid and is the mass of the black hole) - moreover, their maxima are proportional to . The horizontal sizes of investigated toroids range from c. 50 to c. 450 of Schwarzschild radii of the central black hole; their mass and the radial size of the system is c. 500 . We found that the relative strength of various dragging (anti-dragging) effects does not change with the mass ratio, but it depends on the size of toroids. Several isoperimetric inequalities involving angular momentum are shown to hold true.
