NUS) A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE 2013 Dedicated to my wife, Jou Yann Ting for her immense moral support and tolerance to my numerous shortcomings, and our son, Alpha Hong Yik Hang for his shares on taking care of his another two much younger siblings, our daughter, Beta Hong Yik Tong our son, Gamma Hong Yik Zhe for the painstaking but joyful experiences they have brought on us, and (planned but yet-to-be-born) our daughter (??), Zeta Hong Yik Yan for the painstaking but joyful experiences you will bring on us although you not have chance to be with us when this work is being carried out. Declaration I hereby declare that this thesis is my original work and it has been written by me in its entirety. I have duly acknowledged all the sources of information which have been used in the thesis. This thesis has also not been submitted for any degree in any university previously. Kenneth Hong Chong Ming 14 August 2013 i Acknowledgments First and foremost, I am particularly indebted to my supervisor, A/P Edward Teo Ho Khoon, for the incredible opportunity to be his student since I was an undergraduate student in 1999. Under his patient supervision and guidance over the years, I have completed various research projects including two UROPS projects (1999–2001), Honours year project (2001–2002), Master degree project (2002–2006), and lastly PhD degree project (2007–2013). It is not an exaggeration that the totality of my knowledge on general relativity, black holes, Maple, LATEX, etc, are all credited to him. Being also my academic supervisor during my initial stage (2002–2005) as a teaching staff here, his advice and help are much indispensable. I have been greatly influenced by his attitudes and dedication in both research and teaching. I am also thankful to Chen Yu. I benefited a lot from him on inverse scattering method and rod structure in our endless conversations and stimulating discussions. Our collaborations have produced two publications which essentially form the main content of this thesis. Special thanks also to department for granting me the flexibility in my work so that research work can be carried out. Certainly, encouragement and help from other colleagues and friends are much appreciated too. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to my family members in Malaysia. Last but not least, I am deeply grateful to my wife, Jou Yann Ting, for her valuable cooperation in my life and for sharing a major part of the responsibility on family affairs, so that I can spend my time on research work. This thesis is also dedicated to my dearest children, Yik Hang (Alpha), Yik Tong (Beta) and Yik Ze (Gamma). I hope that one day in the future, they will also learn to appreciate the beauty of physics as what I had. iii Contents Declaration i Acknowledgments iii Summary vii List of Figures viii Introduction 1.1 Motivations of higher-dimensional gravity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.2 Overview . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.3 Organization of the thesis . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Four-dimensional Kaluza–Klein C-metric in Fig. 7.10. The explicit solution is given below: µ1 µ5 ρ µ3 µ2 µ4 , , , µ3 µ2 µ4 µ1 µ5 µ1 µ5 R12 R13 R14 R23 R25 R34 R35 R45 = k2 . 2 µ3 R15 R24 R11 R22 R33 R44 R55 G0 = diag − 2γ0 e (7.8) Using the inverse scattering method, we then perform the following 3-soliton transformation on this seed: (1) 1. Remove a soliton at each of z1 , z2 and z4 , with trivial BZ vectors m0 = (0, 0, 1), (2) (3) m0 = (0, 1, 0) and m0 = (0, 1, 0), respectively; (1) 2. Add back a soliton at each of z1 , z2 , and z4 , with non-trivial BZ vectors m ˜0 = (2) (3) (C1 , 0, 1), m ˜ = (0, 1, C2 ) and m ˜ = (0, 1, C4 ), respectively. Here, C1 , C2 and C4 are the BZ parameters. We note that if C2 = C4 = 0, we recover the ISM procedure of the static electric Kaluza– Klein C-metric above. On the other hand, if C1 = C2 = and z1 = z2 , we effectively recover the ISM procedure of the static magnetic Kaluza–Klein C-metric above. We need to fix some choices on the values of BZ parameters so that the desired solution can be obtained. Counting the rods from the left, we need to join up Rods and 2, as well as, Rods and 5, by requiring that Rod has the same normalised direction as Rod 2, and Rod has the same normalised direction as Rod 5. These two conditions will fix the values of the BZ parameters C1 and C4 . We also need to impose a condition on the BZ parameter C2 so that the normalised direction of Rod does not have a time component. Some preliminary analyses have been carried on the resulting solution and it does seem to have the interpretation as the four-dimensional static dyonic Kaluza–Klein C-metric. t φ w z1 z2 z3 z4 Figure 7.11: The rod sources of the seed solution for rotating electric Kaluza–Klein C-metric when lifted to five dimensions. 126 § 7.3. Four-dimensional Kaluza–Klein C-metric We also expect that it is possible to generate a four-dimensional rotating electric Kaluza–Klein C-metric from a singular diagonal seed given by the rod structure given in Fig. 7.11. The explicit solution is given in (7.6). Using the inverse scattering method, we then perform the following 3-soliton transformation on this seed: (1) 1. Remove a soliton at each of z1 , z2 and z3 , with trivial BZ vectors m0 = (0, 0, 1), (3) (2) m0 = (0, 1, 0) and m0 = (1, 0, 0), respectively; (1) 2. Add back a soliton at each of z1 , z2 , and z3 , with non-trivial BZ vectors m ˜0 = (2) (3) (C1 , 0, 1), m ˜ = (0, 1, C2 ) and m ˜ = (1, C3 , 0), respectively. Here, C1 , C2 and C3 are the BZ parameters. We note that if C2 = C3 = 0, we recover the ISM procedure of the static electric Kaluza–Klein C-metric above. The construction above is also very similar to the case of unbalanced Pomeransky–Sen’kov doubly rotating black ring discussed in Chapter 5. Again, the BZ parameters C1 , C2 and C3 are to be fixed at some specific values so that the resulting solution can be interpreted as the four-dimensional rotating electric Kalaza–Klein C-metric upon dimensional reduction along the w-direction. t φ w z1 z2 z3 z4 Figure 7.12: The rod sources of the seed solution for rotating magnetic Kaluza-Klein C-metric when lifted to five dimensions. A four-dimensional rotating magnetic Kaluza–Klein C-metric is expected to be generated from a similar ISM procedure from a diagonal seed given by the rod structure given in Fig. 7.12. The explicit solution is given in (7.7). Using the inverse scattering method, we then perform the following 3-soliton transformation on this seed: (1) 1. Remove a soliton at each of z1 , z2 and z3 , with trivial BZ vectors m0 = (0, 1, 0), (2) (3) m0 = (1, 0, 0) and m0 = (0, 1, 0), respectively; (1) 2. Add back a soliton at each of z1 , z2 , and z3 , with non-trivial BZ vectors m ˜0 = (2) (3) (C1 , 1, 0), m ˜ = (1, C2 , 0) and m ˜ = (0, 1, C3 ), respectively. Here, C1 , C2 and C3 are the BZ parameters. 127 § 7.3. Four-dimensional Kaluza–Klein C-metric We note that if C1 = C2 = 0, we recover the ISM procedure of the static magnetic Kaluza–Klein C-metric above. Again, the BZ parameters C1 , C2 and C3 are to be fixed at some specific values so that the resulting solution can be interpreted as the four-dimensional rotating magnetic Kalaza–Klein C-metric upon dimensional reduction along the w-direction. t φ w z1 z2 z3 z4 z5 Figure 7.13: The rod sources of the seed solution for rotating dyonic Kaluza–Klein C-metric when lifted to five dimensions. The most general four-dimensional Kaluza–Klein C-metric is the rotating dyonic solution. We conjecture that such a solution can be generated from a singular diagonal seed in five dimensions (7.8) with the rod structure given in Fig. 7.13. Using the inverse scattering method, we then perform the following 4-soliton transformation on this seed: (1) 1. Remove a soliton at each of z1 , z2 , z3 and z4 , with trivial BZ vectors m0 = (0, 0, 1), (4) (3) (2) m0 = (0, 1, 0), m0 = (1, 0, 0) and m0 = (0, 1, 0), respectively; (1) 2. Add back a soliton at each of z1 , z2 , z3 and z4 , with non-trivial BZ vectors m ˜0 = (2) (3) (4) (C1 , 0, 1), m ˜ = (0, 1, C2 ), m ˜ = (1, C3 , 0) and m ˜ = (0, 1, C4 ), respectively. Here, C1 , C2 , C3 and C4 are the BZ parameters. Again, the BZ parameters C1 , C2 , C3 and C4 are to be fixed at some specific values so that the resulting solution can be interpreted as the four-dimensional rotating dyonic Kalaza–Klein C-metric upon dimensional reduction along the w-direction. The ISM construction of the rotating dyonic solution above has made apparent the role played by each solitonic transformation. The solitonic transformations at z = z1 and z = z4 are to generate the electric and magnetic charges respectively. Roughly speaking, the solitonic transformations at z = z2 and z = z3 are to turn on the rotation and provide an additional parameter which can be tuned to eliminate undesired physical properties, for instance, Dirac–Misner singularities, from the resulting solution. 128 § 7.3. Four-dimensional Kaluza–Klein C-metric To the best of our knowledge, the above class of four-dimensional Kaluza–Klein Cmetric solutions (except for the static electric and static magnetic cases) are not known in the current literature. Furthermore, the ISM constructions of the static electric and static magnetic Kaluza–Klein C-metric have not been reported anywhere in the literature. Thus, it is definitely worth to study these problems. Some works are in progress along this direction which we hope to report it elsewhere in the future.
