Dynamic elektromagnetic fields in the Kerr spacetime
Skoupý, Viktor ; Ledvinka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kofroň, David (referee)
In this thesis we study a test electromagnetic field in the vicinity of Kerr black hole and with methods of extraction of its rotational energy. We are investigating a process in which a particle moves in an electromagnetic resonator around Kerr black hole. The energy of the particle is transferred to the electromagnetic field and the particle falls into the black hole with negative energy. We begin with the derivation of Maxwell's and Teukolsky equations and their numerical solutions. We derive a boundary condition for an electromagnetic field on a spherical mirror around the black hole, find the field that satisfies this condition, and describe the procedure for numerical calculation. Next, we calculate the trajectories of charged test particles in such a field and find particles that fall into the black hole with negative energy. We have found that it is possible for the particle to fall into the black hole with the energy of −124% of its rest mass, and the parameters of the electromagnetic field and trajectory of the particle need to be carefully selected.
Electromagnetic rotational superradiance
Bára, Václav ; Ledvinka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kofroň, David (referee)
We show the scattering of electromagnetic radiation on a rotating cylinder and a rotating sphere using formalism of the vector spherical harmonics in this thesis. If a specific condition is satisfied then we can observe the rotational superradiance, phenomena originally discovered by Y. B. Zel'dovich in 1970s saying that the radiation can gain power by scattering on a rotating body. In this particular case there is an underlying principle of the rotational superradiance, the energy dissipation in the form of Joule heating created due to the induction of surface currents on the conductor. Superradiance can occur in the radiation scattering on the rotating black hole background, although there is no dissipation present. We summarize the results of scattering on the Kerr black hole from the literature, including an application called Black hole bomb, when the black hole is enclosed into a perfectly reflecting mirror. We show that for the lowest modes of the radiation at specific intervals the general relativity results can be approximated by scattering on the flat spacetime.
