Researchers developed an analytical method to reconstruct black hole properties at the horizon using pole-skipping points. This approach simplifies gravitational field equations and reveals universal constraints on black hole geometry.
Area of Science:
- Theoretical Physics
- Black Hole Physics
- Gravitational Theory
Background:
- Static, planar-symmetric black holes present complex gravitational field equations.
- Reconstructing black hole properties near the horizon is crucial for understanding their behavior.
- Pole-skipping phenomena in boundary Green's functions offer potential insights.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an analytical method for reconstructing black hole metrics and derivatives at the horizon.
- To utilize pole-skipping points for this reconstruction.
- To reinterpret gravitational field equations using pole-skipping data.
Main Methods:
- An infinite set of discrete pole-skipping points in momentum space is used.
- The boundary Green's function's ambiguity at these points is exploited.
- The method involves solving linear equations analytically.
Main Results:
- The metric and its arbitrary-order derivatives at the horizon can be reconstructed.
- The reconstruction extends to singularities in the complex radial plane.
- Pole-skipping points are found to be redundant, with universal polynomial constraints.
Conclusions:
- A fully analytical and efficient method for black hole horizon reconstruction is established.
- Gravitational field equations can be reinterpreted through pole-skipping data.
- Universal constraints on black hole geometry are revealed, independent of specific bulk details.
