Rainbow Black Hole From Quantum Gravitational Collapse

Abstract

Quantum fields propagating on quantum spacetime of a collapsing homogeneous dust ball explore a (semiclassical) dressed geometry. When the backreaction of the field is discarded, the classical singularity is resolved due to quantum gravity effects and is replaced by a quantum bounce on the dressed collapse background. In the presence of the backreaction, the emergent (interior) dressed geometry becomes mode-dependent which scales as radiation. Semiclassical dynamics of this so-called rainbow, dressed background is analyzed. It turns out that the backreaction effects speeds up the occurrence of the bounce in comparison to the case where only a dust fluid is present. By matching the interior and exterior regions at the boundary of dust, a mode-dependent black hole geometry emerges as the exterior spacetime. Properties of such rainbow black hole are discussed. That mode dependence causes, in particular, a chromatic aberration in gravitational lensing process of which maximal magnitude is estimated via calculation of the so-called Einstein angle.
