Description: 5D Kerr-AdS spacetime with a Nambu-Goto string (case a=b)

5D Kerr-AdS spacetime with a Nambu-Goto string

Case a = b

This SageMath notebook is relative to the article Holographic drag force in 5d Kerr-AdS black hole by Irina Ya. Aref'eva, Anastasia A. Golubtsova and Eric Gourgoulhon, arXiv:2004.12984.

The involved differential geometry computations are based on tools developed through the SageManifolds project.

NB: a version of SageMath at least equal to 8.2 is required to run this notebook:

In [1]:

version()

'SageMath version 9.0, Release Date: 2020-01-01'

First we set up the notebook to display mathematical objects using LaTeX rendering:

In [2]:

%display latex

Since some computations are quite long, we ask for running them in parallel on 8 cores:

Spacetime manifold

We declare the Kerr-AdS spacetime as a 5-dimensional Lorentzian manifold:

In [4]:

M = Manifold(5, 'M', r'\mathcal{M}', structure='Lorentzian', metric_name='G')
print(M)

5-dimensional Lorentzian manifold M

Let us define Boyer-Lindquist-type coordinates (rational polynomial version) on $\mathcal{M}$ , via the method chart(), the argument of which is a string expressing the coordinates names, their ranges (the default is $(-\infty,+\infty)$ ) and their LaTeX symbols:

In [5]:

BL.<t,r,mu,ph,ps> = M.chart(r't r:(0,+oo) mu:(0,1):\mu ph:(0,2*pi):\phi ps:(0,2*pi):\psi')
BL

\left(\mathcal{M},(t, r, {\mu}, {\phi}, {\psi})\right)

The coordinate $\mu$ is related to the standard Boyer-Lindquist coordinate $\theta$ by $\mu = \cos\theta$

The coordinate ranges are

In [6]:

BL.coord_range()

t :\ \left( -\infty, +\infty \right) ;\quad r :\ \left( 0 , +\infty \right) ;\quad {\mu} :\ \left( 0 , 1 \right) ;\quad {\phi} :\ \left( 0 , 2 \, \pi \right) ;\quad {\psi} :\ \left( 0 , 2 \, \pi \right)

Note that contrary to the 4-dimensional case, the range of $\mu$ is $(0,1)$ only (cf. Sec. 1.2 of R.C. Myers, arXiv:1111.1903 or Sec. 2 of G.W. Gibbons, H. Lüb, Don N. Page, C.N. Pope, J. Geom. Phys. 53, 49 (2005)). In other words, the range of $\theta$ is $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ only.

Metric tensor

The 4 parameters $m$ , $a$ , $b$ and $\ell$ of the Kerr-AdS spacetime are declared as symbolic variables, $a$ and $b$ being the two angular momentum parameters and $\ell$ being related to the cosmological constant by $\Lambda = - 6 \ell^2$ :

In [7]:

var('m a b', domain='real')

\left(m, a, b\right)

In [8]:

var('l', domain='real', latex_name=r'\ell')

{\ell}

# Particular cases
# m = 0
# a = 0
# b = 0

Some auxiliary functions:

In [10]:

keep_Delta = False  # change to False to provide explicit expression for Delta_r, Xi_a, etc...

In [11]:

sig = (1 + r^2*l^2)/r^2
costh2 = mu^2
sinth2 = 1 - mu^2
rho2 = r^2 + a^2*mu^2 + b^2*sinth2
if keep_Delta:
    Delta_r = var('Delta_r', latex_name=r'\Delta_r', domain='real')
    Delta_th = var('Delta_th', latex_name=r'\Delta_\theta', domain='real')
    if a == b:
        Xi_a = var('Xi', latex_name=r'\Xi', domain='real')
        Xi_b = Xi_a
    else:
        Xi_a = var('Xi_a', latex_name=r'\Xi_a', domain='real')
        Xi_b = var('Xi_b', latex_name=r'\Xi_b', domain='real')
    #Delta_th = 1 - a^2*l^2*mu^2 - b^2*l^2*sinth2
    Xi_a = 1 - a^2*l^2
    Xi_b = 1 - b^2*l^2
else:
    Delta_r = (r^2+a^2)*(r^2+b^2)*sig - 2*m
    Delta_th = 1 - a^2*l^2*mu^2 - b^2*l^2*sinth2
    Xi_a = 1 - a^2*l^2
    Xi_b = 1 - b^2*l^2

The metric is set by its components in the coordinate frame associated with the Boyer-Lindquist-type coordinates, which is the current manifold's default frame. These components can be deduced from Eq. (5.22) of the article S.W. Hawking, C.J. Hunter & M.M. Taylor-Robinson, Phys. Rev. D 59, 064005 (1999) (the check of agreement with this equation is performed below):

def euler_lagrange(lagr, qs, var):
    r"""
    Derive the Euler-Lagrange equations from a given Lagrangian.

    INPUT:

    - ``lagr`` -- symbolic expression representing the Lagrangian density
    - ``qs`` -- either a single symbolic function or a list/tuple of
      symbolic functions, representing the `q`'s; these functions must
      appear in ``lagr`` up to at most their first derivatives
    - ``var`` -- either a single variable, typically `t` (1-dimensional
      problem) or a list/tuple of symbolic variables

    OUTPUT:

    - list of Euler-Lagrange equations; if only one function is involved, the
      single Euler-Lagrannge equation is returned instead.
