Extended rotating Hayward metric
This Jupyter/SageMath notebook is related to the article Lamy et al, arXiv:1802.01635.
The metric is that obtained by Bambi & Modesto, Phys. Lett. B 721, 329 (2013) by applying the Newman-Janis transformation to the (non-rotating) Hayward metric for regular black holes (Hayward, PRL 96, 031103 (2006)), extended to cover the region .
To speed up the computation of the Riemann tensor, we ask for parallel computations on 8 threads:
component
Lapse function
The lapse function is deduced from the standard formula :
component
Other metric components
Ricci tensor
We check that for , we are dealing with a solution of the vacuum Einstein equation:
The Ricci scalar:
Riemann tensor
Kretschmann scalar
The tensor , of components :
The tensor , of components :
The Kretschmann scalar :
The equatorial value of the Kretschmann scalar is
The limit :
We recover the same value as that given by Eq. (24) of Bambi & Modesto, Phys. Lett. B 721, 329 (2013) (note that the quantity used by Bambi & Modesto is related to our by ).
Non-rotating limit
Check: we recover Schwarzschild value when :
Chern-Pontryagin scalar
We start by getting the Levi-Civita 4-vector :
The dual Riemann tensor is computed as with as a first step:
The Chern-Pontryagin scalar is :
The Kerr value is obtained for :
The above value of the Chern-Pontryagin scalar coincides with as given by Eq. (32) with of Cherubini et al., IJMPD 11, 827 (2002).
Ricci squared
The Ricci squared is :
The Kerr value is obtained for ; we check that it is zero:
