Hiding Charge in a Wormhole

Abstract

Existence of wormholes can lead to a host of new effects like Misner-Wheeler "charge without charge" effect, where without being generated by any source an electric flux arrives from one "universe" and flows into the other "universe". Here we show the existence of an intriguing opposite possibility. Namely, a charged object (a charged lightlike brane in our case) sitting at the wormhole "throat" expels all the flux it produces into just one of the "universes", which turns out to be of compactified ("tube-like") nature. An outside observer in the non-compact "universe" detects, therefore, a neutral object. This charge-hiding effect takes place in a gravity/gauge-field system self-consistently interacting with a charged lightlike brane as a matter source, where the gauge field subsystem is of a special non-linear form containing a square-root of the Maxwell term and which previously has been shown to produce a QCD-like confining gauge field dynamics in flat space-time.PACS: 11.25.-w 04.70.-s 04.50.+h.

Fully explorable horned particles hiding charge

“…In previous publications it has been shown that this phenomenon takes place in a gravity/gauge-field system self-consistently coupled to a charged lightlike brane as a matter source, where the gauge field subsystem is of a special non-linear form containing a square-root of the Maxwell term [1]. The latter has been previously shown [16]- [20] to produce a QCDlike confining ("Cornell" [23]- [25]) potential in flat space-time.…”

“…In contrast to the Misner and Wheeler effect, the charge-hiding effect by a horned particle means a genuinely charged matter source of gravity and electromagnetism may appear electrically neutral to an external observer. In previous publications, it has been shown that this phenomenon takes place in a gravity/gauge-field system self-consistently coupled to a charged LLB as a matter source, where the gauge-field subsystem is of a special nonlinear form containing a square root of the Maxwell term [1]. The latter has been previously shown [16][17][18][19][20] to produce a QCD-like confining ('Cornell' [23][24][25]) potential in flat spacetime.…”

“…In the particular case where Λ = 0, studied in [1], we arrive at the following three distinct types of Levi-Civita-Bertotti-Robinson solutions for gravity coupled to the non-Maxwell gauge field system (4):…”

“…The charge-hiding effect by a horned particle, which are spaces containing a space where asymptotically r → ∞ connected to a space where r = constant and this is called a "horned" region because there is another cordinate there (that replaces r which is constant and cannot be used as a coordinate therefore) which runs along an infinite range 1 , which was studied for the case where gravity/gauge-field system is self-consistently interacting with a charged lightlike brane (LLB) as a matter source [1], is now studied for the case of a time like brane, where we demand that no surfaces of infinite coordinate time redshift 2 appear in the problem, leading therefore to a completely explorable horned particle space, according to not only the traveller that goes through the horned particle space (as was the case for the LLB), but also to a static external observer. This requires negative surface energy density for the shell sitting at the throat of the horned particle.…”

Fractional Effective Charges and Misner-Wheeler Charge without Charge Effect in Metamaterials

“…Studying such metamaterial space configurations also appears interesting in light of recent demonstrations that two colored quasiparticles (quarks) in maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory entangled in a color singlet EPR pair are connected by a wormhole [15,16], and that the physical vacuum appears to exhibit hyperbolic metamaterial properties when subjected to a very strong magnetic field [17]. In addition, such effects as Misner-Wheeler "charge without charge" [18] and the recently proposed charge-hiding effect [19] may be replicated in the metamaterial system. Indeed, as obvious from Fig.3, coupling of some of the L=0 mode power into the wormhole leads to appearance of opposite effective charges of the wormhole openings due to non-zero S 3 near the openings.…”
