Vortex Effects in Merging Black Holes and Saturons
Abstract: Vorticity has recently been suggested to be a property of highly-spinning black holes. The connection between vorticity and limiting spin represents a universal feature shared by objects of maximal microstate entropy, so-called saturons. Using -ball-like saturons as a laboratory for black holes, we study the collision of two such objects and find that vorticity can have a large impact on the emitted radiation as well as on the charge and angular momentum of the final configuration. As black holes belong to the class of saturons, we expect that the formation of vortices can cause similar effects in black hole mergers, leading to macroscopic deviations in gravitational radiation. This could leave unique signatures detectable with upcoming gravitational-wave searches, which can thereby serve as a portal to macroscopic quantum effects in black holes.

- We postpone a detailed analysis and characterization of the scattering dynamics for future work Dvali et al. .
- This provides further support of the claim of Ref. Dvali et al. (2022a) that Q𝑄Qitalic_Q-ball-type saturons with vorticity cannot deplete their constituents due to the topological quantized nature of the vortex’ winding. This is in stark contrast to their non-rotating counterparts.
