Black holes on the brane
Abstract
We consider exact solutions for static black holes localized on a three-brane in five-dimensional gravity in the Randall-Sundrum scenario. We show that the Reissner-Nordstrom metric is an exact solution of the effective Einstein equations on the brane, re-interpreted as a black hole without electric charge, but with instead a tidal 'charge' arising via gravitational effects from the fifth dimension. The tidal correction to the Schwarzschild potential can be negative, which is impossible in general relativity, and in this case only one horizon is admitted, located outside the Schwarzschild horizon. Current observations do not strongly constrain the tidal charge, and significant tidal corrections could arise in the strong-gravity regime and for primordial black holes.Keywords
