A realistic model describing a black string-like object in an expanding Universe is analyzed inthe context of the McVittie’s solution of the Einstein field equations. The bulk metric near thebrane is provided analogously to previous solutions for black strings. In particular, we show that atleast when the Hubble parameter on the brane is positive, a black string-like object seems to play afundamental role in the braneworld scenario, generalizing the standard black strings in the contextof a dynamical brane.

The search for solutions engendering realistic blackholes on the brane, stable and presenting no naked singu-larity, is an object of current interest. Although an exactsolution is known for a (1+2)-brane in a 4D bulk [1], suchtask urges to be evinced in the 5D scenario with a singleextra dimension of infinite extent. Numerical simulationsof relativistic static stars on the brane and the exact anal-ysis of the collapse on the brane as well — based on theAdS/CFT correspondence [2] — appear as good effortsto address the issue [3, 4]. There are arguments indicat-ing that whichever the solutions are, they approach theSchwarzschild geometry at large distances [3].

On the other hand, black holes embedded in an ex-panding Universe can be described by McVittie’s so-lutions [5]. In this cosmological scenario, a more real-istic solution can be probed, providing an asymptoticSchwarzschild-de Sitter geometry on the brane.

In this Letter we are mainly concerned with the blackstring profile induced by the McVittie solution, by delv-ing into the Taylor expansion outside a McVittie blackhole metric on the brane along the extra dimension,where the corrections in the area of the associated 5Dblack string warped horizon arise. The issue induces in-teresting physical effects in the black string-like object,as we shall prove. The fine character of the expansionalong the extra dimension is crucial to analyze the gen-eralized black string associated to the McVittie’s solutionon the brane. The way how the dynamical content of thesolution on the brane affects the pathological propertiesregarding the black string [9] shall be deeply reported.

In a braneworld with a single extra dimension of in-finite extent, a vector field in the bulk decomposes intocomponents in the brane and orthogonal to the brane, as(xα, y). The bulk is endowed with a metric gABdx

AdxB =gµν(xα, y) dxµdxν + dy2. The brane metric componentsgµν and the bulk metric are related by gµν = gµν +nµnν ,where nσ are the components related to a time-like vec-tor field, splitting the bulk in normal coordinates, andg44 = 1 and gi4 = 0. In addition, κ24 = 1

Such expansion regards the metric on the bulk near thebrane, and was analyzed in [3, 12] only up to the secondorder. The fourth order expansion was derived in [3] fora particular case. In [13] the most complete fourth orderexpansion, also containing the additional terms comingfrom the variable brane tension, was accomplished. Dueto the awkward expression therein, we insert above theexpansion up to the third order. As a particular case, theblack hole horizon evolution along the extra dimension(the warped horizon [14]) may be examined, by exploringthe component gθθ(x

α, y) in (2). Indeed, any sphericallysymmetric metric associated to a black hole presents ra-dial coordinate given by

√gθθ(x, 0) = r. The black hole

solution, namely, the black string solution on the brane,is regarded when

√gθθ(x, 0) = R, where R denotes the

coordinate singularity. More precisely, the black stringhorizon for the Schwarzschild metric is defined whenr = 2GM

c2 , obtained when the coefficient(1− 2GM

c2r

)= grr

of the term dr2 goes to infinity [15]. It corresponds to theblack hole horizon on the brane. On the another hand, theradial coordinate r in spherical coordinates legitimatelyappears as the term gθθdθ

2 = r2dθ2 in the Schwarzschildmetric. Our analysis of the term gθθ(x

α, y) by Eq. (2)holds for any value r and provides the bulk metric. Inparticular, the term originally coined “black string” cor-responds to the Schwarzschild metric on the brane [14],defined by the black hole horizon evolution along theextra dimension into the bulk. Hence, the black stringregards solely the so called “warped horizon”, which isgθθ(x

α, y), for the particular case where r = R is a coor-dinate singularity.

Now we argue whether such interpretation regard-ing black strings holds for the McVittie’s solutions. Intheir simplest form they have zero spatial curvature inthe asymptotically FRW region, but can be generalized

[5, 16]. The spatial curvature of the FRW geometry is notexpected to appreciably alter the behavior of the metricnear a mass source as long as the gravitational radius ofthe mass M whichever larger, be smaller than the radiusof curvature. The metric is written in isotropic sphericalcoordinates [17] defined by r = r

(1 + GM

ds2 = −(1− µ

where a(t) is the asymptotic cosmological scale factor,µ = M

2a(t)r , and M is the mass parameter of the source.

Using spatial translations, r = 0 is chosen as the centerof spherical symmetry. Here the asymptotically spatiallyflat FRW metric is considered, suggesting a cosmic sce-nario compatible to current cosmological data [18, 19].It is an exact solution of the field equations for an arbi-trary mass M provided that a(t) solves the Friedmannequation and

ρ(t) =3a2

which describes the matter energy density, with H =aa being the Hubble parameter. The isotropic pressureassociated to the fluid can be written as [20]

having a homogeneous term proportional to H2 and aninhomogeneous term as well, containing H. The McVit-tie’s solution has a curvature singularity at µ = 1,since the Ricci scalar can be expressed in the form

R = 12H2 + 6H(

1+µ1−µ

); this singularity is interpreted

as a cosmological big bang singularity [6].

McVittie’s solution describes black holes embedded inexpanding FRW Universes, when the Hubble parameteris positive. Some results advocate spherically symmet-ric solutions in asymptotically FRW cosmologies [21].McVittie’s solution is one sample among the geometriesdescribing masses in FRW, where the mass parameter isa constant and the energy density is homogeneous. Theinhomogeneous pressure is hence necessary. The initialBig-Bang singularity is absent when H = 0, and in factthe geometries (3) reduce to either the Schwarzschild orSchwarzschild-de Sitter solutions. In the case a(t) = 1 theMcVittie’s solution reduces to a black hole in flat space,and the metric (3) provides the Schwarzschild solution inisotropic coordinates.

A black string-like object associated to the McVittie’s

solution is led into the Schwarzschild and FRW onesas limiting cases. Therefore, we adopt an effective ap-proach, studying the horizon variation Taylor expansion.The Weyl term on the brane is given by [3]

The brane metric gµν is regular everywhere on and out-side the black hole horizon and away from the big bang.The expansion including the term y4 was considered in[13], and here Eq.(7) is written up to the second orderin the extra dimension for the sake of conciseness. Whena(t) = 1, by transforming the spherical isotropic coor-dinates to the spherical standard ones, the bulk metriccomponent in (7) — which is the warped horizon of theblack string-like object when r is constant — is led to thebulk metric component

),

which, in particular, is the classical Schwarzschild blackstring warped horizon when r is constant. Therefore theresults in [9] — further generalized in [27] and discussedin, e. g., [3, 13, 14] — are obtained, in such limit.

Our aim is to analyze the possibility and the proper-ties of a black string-like object locally associated to theMcVittie’s solution, in the context of (2) and (7). In thecase of a pure FRW metric, the state parameter w = p

ρ is

defined and the Einstein field equations on the brane pro-vide ρ ∝ a−3(1+w)/β (where we define β := 1−µ

1+µ ) leading

together with the Friedmann equation to the time evolu-tion of the scale factor. When the mass M = 0 it implies

β = 1, and the scale factor takes the well known value forthe scale factor of a flat universe a(t) ∝ t2/3 (dominatedby non-relativistic matter, where w = 0) or a(t) ∝ t1/2

(dominated by the radiation or relativistic matter, wherew = 1

3 ). In the case of a cosmological constant (w = −1),we have a(t) ∝ exp(H0t), independently of β. The man-ifold µ = 1 (β = 0), corresponds to the event horizonin the Schwarzschild case. However, we should avoid thisvalue in order to circumvent the big bang singularity [6].In all cases below, the value β = 0.9 is used to illus-trate the results. Different values for β do not affect thephysical aspects underlying the results below.

We shall compare the black string-like object profilein the two eras of evolution of our Universe, without acosmological constant and, in addition, in the presenceof a cosmological constant. Let us first consider the casewhere the scale factor a(t) ∝ tβ/2, emulating a radiation-dominated brane. In the figures below the time parametert is considered in the scale [t] = 108 yr, corresponding toour choice Λ = 1 = κ5. The black string-like object hasthe warped horizon provided below, depicted in Fig. 1 fora fixed time t = 0.8 and different values of ` . Further,the graphic depicted in Fig. 2 evinces the warped horizonprofile according to the time evolution, along the extradimension.

Page 4: Black holes in realistic branes: black string-like objects?

Next, we consider the scale factor as a(t) ∝ t2β/3, mim-icking a non-relativistic matter-dominated brane. The re-sults are illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4. Also, in Figs. 5 and6 we depict the results for the scale factor in the forma(t) ∝ exp(H0t), which leads to a braneworld scenariodominated by a cosmological constant.

The question regarding a black string-like object, cor-respondent to the McVittie’s solution, can be more re-alistically answered, by considering the legitimate blackhole interpretation of the McVittie’s solution [6]. It oc-curs when the Hubble parameter is positive. In the graph-ics below, the value for the gθθ component is provided inunits of 2GM and Λ = 1 = κ5.

The original black string, corresponding to theSchwarzschild singularity, is obtained in the limit wherea(t) = 1. The formation of a galaxy with a central blackhole was investigated in [23]. The black hole may be ei-ther a collapsed object or a generalization of a wormhole[23]; the cases wherein such interpretations hold are de-picted in Figs. 1-4. The black string-like object warpedhorizon can be accomplished by the Eqs. (2, 7), given ablack hole in the brane and its associated singularity.

Figs. 1 and 3 evince the time-dependent profile that

mimics a radiation-dominated and a matter-dominatedscenario, respectively. They depict the graphics for thebulk metric gθθ(t, r, y) along the extra dimension, for dif-ferent values of the bulk curvature radius parameter `for a fixed time t = 0.8, in full compliance with the up-per limit of ` in the region ` . 0.2 mm [22]. Figs. 2 and4 clearly reinforces such profiles, which correspond re-spectively to Figs. 1 and 3, which are solely their sectionfor t = 0.8. It can be noticed that in a non-relativisticmatter-dominated brane (Fig. 2) the warped horizon ofthe black string-like object increases more abruptly thenin a radiation-dominated brane (Fig. 1). Fig. 5 shows thetime-dependent profile that describes a pure cosmologicalconstant scenario on the brane. The warped horizon evo-lutes along the extra dimension even more smoothly thenin the radiation-dominated era, due to the presence of acosmological constant. In all cases, the evolution drasti-cally contributes for the warped horizons alterations, asthe time elapses, along the extra dimension.

In Figs. 2 and 4, for each slice of constant time in therange considered in the graphics, there is a subtle andprominent difference between both the warped horizons,regarding the respective corresponding eras. In the Fig. 2,regarding a brane dominated by the radiation or relativis-tic matter (a(t) ∝ t2β/3), the warped horizon of the as-sociated black string-like object increases monotonically

along the extra dimension, irrespectively of the time. In-stead, in the Fig. 4, which concerns a brane dominated bynon-relativistic matter (a(t) ∝ tβ/2), as the time evolutesthe warped horizon of the associated black string-like ob-ject decreases along the extra dimension for any value fort < 0.54. For the time parameter greater than this value,the warped horizon of the black string-like object alwaysincreases, along the extra dimension.

The pure cosmological constant braneworld scenarioexhibited in Figs. 5 and 6 approaches a realisticblack string-like object in a global asymptotically FRWbraneworld, where locally the behavior of a solution isanalyzed. From the Einstein equations, by providing onthe brane a relation analogous to the Friedmann equa-tion, depending only on the geometry and matter con-tent of the brane, the solution on the brane is extendedto the bulk in [26], where exact solutions to the branecosmology are compatible with standard cosmology in aRandall–Sundrum–like braneworld scenario, with a singleextra dimension of infinite extent. Our results engendersuch achievements, without the necessity of taking intoaccount the extra dimensional dependence on the scalefactor nonetheless. As the metric at the bulk providescoefficients for the terms |y|k in Eqs. (2, 7), such extradimensional dependence in the scale factor does not addrelevant physical information to the current results.

In summary, as the McVittie solution is established to

present a legitimate interpretation as a black hole whenH0 > 0 [6], we have shown that there is indeed a real-istic black string-like object in this case. Moreover, ourmethod describes the metric in the bulk when the braneevinces radiation-dominated and matter-dominated sce-narios as well, suggesting the possibility for similar inter-pretations.

In order to reveal the physical nature of the blackstring-like object introduced above, one cannot rely ona non-invariant quantity such as the metric compo-nent to deduce conclusions on the topology of a space-time. Rather, the use of an invariant quantity would bea better choice, as the one analyzed in [6]. For com-pleteness, we have checked that when the scale factora(t) = 1, the associated Kretschmann scalars are ledto the Schwarzschild ones. In fact, when at late timesthe cosmology is dominated by a positive cosmologi-cal constant, the McVittie metric on the brane is reg-ular everywhere on and outside the black hole horizon,and it asymptotes in the future and near the horizonto the Schwarzschild-de Sitter geometry, which has ablack string-like object associated, already thoroughlyaccomplished and analyzed in [28]. It essentially holdsfor any slice of the extra dimension, in gaussian coordi-nates. In the Schwarzschild-de Sitter geometry, there canbe a point y1 along the extra dimension for which theKretschmann scalar (5)K = (5)Rµνρσ

(5)Rµνρσ divergesat r → 0, and also at y = y1, irrespective of the value forr, characterizing a singularity. Furthermore, for the casewhere the cosmological constant equals zero, our resultsare in full compliance with [9]. In fact, in such partic-

ular case the Kretschmann scalar (5)K ∝ 48G2M2

r6 e4|y|/`

diverges at the bulk horizon as well as at the black stringsingularity at r = 0 [9].

Here, when M = 0, the solution obtained reducesto a standard homogeneous and isotropic FRW cosmol-ogy on the brane, and for H(t) constant, it is led toa Schwarzschild (standard) black string [3, 9, 13] or deSitter-Schwarzschild (or Kottler) black string of mass M ,already investigated in [28]. All curvature invariants onthe null surface equal their values on the horizon of aSchwarzschild-de Sitter generalized black string of massM [28] and positive Hubble constant, and this null sur-face is a soft, null naked singularity in an FRW space-time if H(t) = 0 at late times. At least in the case whenH0 > 0 the McVittie metric on the brane induces a blackstring-like object.

Now we can further probe the bulk properties, as analternative radial coordinate is defined [21] as r = (1 +µ)2a(t)r. It makes the McVittie metric (3) to read

ds2 = −gdt2 − 2Hrf−1/2dr dt+ f−1dr2 + r2dΩ2,

where f = 1 − 2M/r. On the brane, a null apparenthorizon is placed at r−, the smaller positive root ofg(r) = 1−2M/r−H2r2 = 0. When H equals a constant,the metric above is the Schwarzschild-de Sitter metric incoordinates similar the Eddington-Finkelstein ones In the

case H0 > 0 [H0 = 0] it is a regular black hole event hori-zon [null singularity]. By using this scaling one sees that

the Ricci scalar R = 12H2 + 6Hf−1/2 is finite in thelimit r = 2M , but higher curvature invariants may benot finite. For instance, the invariant

ξ = (∇µ∇νRτψρσ)(∇µ∇νRτψρσ) (8)

contains a term H4H2f−5 which diverges at the horizonalong ingoing null geodesics [6]. When H0 > 0 the invari-ant (8) attains a maximum at a finite distance from thehorizon r = r− and then decreases to its Schwarzschild-de Sitter value. When H0 → 0, the horizon becomes anull, soft, and weak singularity [6]. The 4D and the 5D

Riemann tensors are related by the Gauss equation as

(5)Rτψρσ = Rτψρσ −KτρKψσ +KτσKψρ, (9)

and the 5D version of the invariant ξ in (8) reads

(5)ξ = (DaDb(5)Rτψρσ)(DaDb(5)Rτψρσ) (10)

where the indices a, b are effectively 4D spacetime in-dexes, since the decomposition of the 5D covariant deriva-tive can be expressed as Da = ∇µ, for a = 0, . . . , 3, andDa = ∇y, when a = 4. Therefore, the difference betweenthe invariants in (8) and (10) is given by

(5)ξ − ξ = 2(∇µ∇νKτρKψσ)(∇µ∇νKτρKψσ)−2(∇µ∇νKτσKψρ)(∇µ∇νKτρKψσ) + 2(∇µ∇νKτρKψσ)(∇µ∇νKτρKψσ)

− 2(∇µ∇νKτσKψρ)(∇µ∇νRτψρσ)− 4(∇y∇νKτρKψσ)(∇y∇νRτψρσ)− 2(∇y∇νKτρKψσ)(∇y∇νKτσKψρ)

+ 2(∇y∇νKτσKψρ)(∇y∇νRτψρσ) + (∇y∇νRτψρσ)(∇y∇νRτψρσ)− 4(∇µ∇yKτρKψσ)(∇µ∇yRτψρσ)

− 2(∇µ∇yKτρKψσ)(∇µ∇yKτσKψρ) + (∇µ∇yRτψρσ)(∇µ∇yRτψρσ) + 2(∇µ∇yKτσKψρ)(∇µ∇yKτσKψρ)

+ (∇2yRτψρσ)((∇y)2Rτψρσ)− 4(∇2

yKτρKψσ)((∇y)2Rτψρσ) + 2(∇2yKτσKψρ)((∇y)2KτσKψρ)

− 2(∇2yKτρKψσ)((∇y)2KτσKψρ) (11)

By considering the extrinsic curvature in (1), the termson the right hand side in (10) do not cancel the divergenceof the 4D invariant in (8), hence the black string invariant(5)ξ diverges at the black string warped horizon as wellas in the black string-like singularity, in full compliancewith its limiting case when a(t) = 1, which originates theclassical black string [9].

Our analysis goes beyond the existence of black string-like objects in realistic braneworlds, since Eqs. (2, 7) de-scribe the metric in the bulk. Wherever the radial coor-dinate on the brane describes a black hole horizon, hencethe black string-like warped horizon is obtained as a par-

ticular situation.
