Born-Infeld black holes coupled to a massive scalar field

摘要

Born-Infeld black holes in the scalar-tensor theories of gravity with massless scalar field have been recently obtained [I. Stefanov, S. Yazadjiev and M. Todorov, Phys. Rev. D 75 (2007) 084036; Mod. Phys. Lett. A. 23(34) (2008) 2915; Class. Quantum Gravity 26 (2009) 015006]. The aim of the current paper is to study the effect of the inclusion of a potential for the scalar field in the theory, through a combination of analytical techniques and numerical methods. The black holes coupled to a massive scalar field have richer causal structure in comparison to the massless scalar field case. In the former case, the black holes may have a second, inner horizon. The presence of potential for the scalar field allows the existence of extremal black holes for certain values of the mass of the scalar field and the magnetic (electric) charge of the black hole. The solutions are stable against spherically symmetric perturbations. Arguments in favor of the general stability of the solutions coming from the application of the "turning point" method are also presented.
