I.Aref’eva BH/WH at LHC, Dubna, Sept.2008 3-rd lecture Wormholes • Lorentzian Wormhole is a region in spacetime in which 3-dim space-like sections have non-trivial topology. • By non-trivial topology we mean that these sections arenot simply connected • In the simplest case a WH has two mouths which join different regions of the space-time. • We can also imagine that there is a thin handle, or a throat connected these mouths. • Sometimes people refer to this topology as a 'shortcut' through out spacetime
Wormholes • The term WH was introduced by J. Wheeler in 1957 • Already in 1921 by H. Weyl (mass in terms of EM) • The name WH comes from the following obvious picture. The worm could take a shortcut to the opposite side of the apple's skin by burrowing through its center, instead of traveling the entire distance around.
The traveler just as a worm could take a shortcut to the opposite side of the universe through a topologically nontrivial tunnel.
I.Aref’eva BH/WH at LHC, Dubna, Sept.2008 3-rd lecture Wormholes • The first WH solution was found by Einstein and Rosen in 1935 (so-called E-R bridge) • There are many wormhole solutions in GR. • A great variety of them! With static throat, dynamic throat, spinning, not spinning, etc • Schwarzschild WHs (E-R bridges) • The Morris-Thorne WH • The Visser WH • Higher-dimensional WH • Brane WH
I.Aref’eva BH/WH at LHC, Dubna, Sept.2008 3-rd lecture TraversableWormholes Morris, Thorne, Yurtsever, Visser,.. The embedding condition together with the requirement of finiteness of the redshift function lead to the NEC violation on the WH throat
I.Aref’eva BH/WH at LHC, Dubna, Sept.2008 3-rd lecture Time Machine. Definition • Spacetime: (M,g), M – manifold, g – metric. • Einstein equations for g. • Time machine is a region of space-time (M,g) that has a closed timelike curve (CTC). • CTC suggests the possibility of time travel with its well known paradoxes • Example: time is circle.
I.Aref’eva BH/WH at LHC, Dubna, Sept.2008 3-rd lecture Time Machine • TM is impossible in special relativity. • Indeed, to make a loop, a curve must somewhere leave the null cone as shown in this picture. • A particle with such a world line would exceed the speed of light that is impossible in SR.
I.Aref’eva BH/WH at LHC, Dubna, Sept.2008 3-rd lecture Time Machine • In general relativity the situation is much less trivial. • According to GR, our spacetime must be a smooth Lorentzian manifold small regions is “approximately Minkowskian”, at large scale could be any geometry and topology (holes, handles, almost whatever one wants).
I.Aref’eva BH/WH at LHC, Dubna, Sept.2008 3-rd lecture Solutionsof Einstein eqs. with Closed Timelike Curves (CTC) / Time Machine. • Godel's solution [1949] • van Stockum-Tipler cylinder [1937, 1974]; • Kerr solutions;2 axially symmetric, stationary Kerrs • Gott's time machine; • Wheeler wormholes; • Morris-Thorne-Yurtsever's TM • Ori's dust asymptotically-flat space-time Violation of normal chronology is such an objectionable occurrence that any of such solutions could be rejected as nonphysical.
I.Aref’eva BH/WH at LHC, Dubna, Sept.2008 3-rd lecture Summation over topologies Theorem (Geroch, Tipler): Topology-changing spacetimes must have CTC (closed timelike curve) Theorem (Gammon) : If asymptotically flat spacetimes has a Cauchy surface with a nontrivial topology, then spacetime is geodesically incomplete (under assumption of NEC)
I.Aref’eva BH/WH at LHC, Dubna, Sept.2008 3-rd lecture Mathematical solution of Grandfather paradox Recent overcoming of the grandfather paradox: There are spacetimes having CTC for which smooth, unique solutions to the scalar wave eq. exist for all data on generalized Cauchy surface I.A., I.

I.Aref’eva BH/WH at LHC, Dubna, Sept.2008 3-rd lecture Example: 2 dim scalar wave equation Theorem: Under assumption of minimal singularity the Cauchy problem for t<b has a unique solution The Cauchy problem for t>b is not well posed
I.Aref’eva BH/WH at LHC, Dubna, Sept.2008 3-rd lecture BH in Collisions • A possibility of production in ultra-relativistic particle collisions of some objects related to a non-trivial space-time structure is one of long-standing theoretical questions • In 1978 collision of two classical ultra relativistic particles was considered by D'Eath and Payne and the mass of the assumed final BH also has been estimated • In 1987 Amati, Ciafaloni, Veneziano and 't Hooft conjectured that in string theory and in QG at energies much higher than the Planck mass BH emerges. • Aichelburg-Sexl shock waves to describe particles, Shock Waves ------ > BH • Collidingplane gravitation waves to describe particles Plane Gr Waves ----- > BHI.A., Viswanathan, I.Volovich, 1995
I.Aref’eva BH/WH at LHC, Dubna, Sept.2008 3-rd lecture BLACK HOLE PRODUCTION • Collision of two fast point particles of energy E. • BH forms if the impact parameter b is comparable to the Schwarzschild radius rsof a BH of mass E. • The Thorn's hoop conjecture gives a rough estimate for classicalgeometrical cross-section
I.Aref’eva BH/WH at LHC, Dubna, Sept.2008 3-rd lecture BLACK HOLE PRODUCTION • To deal with BH creation in particles collisions we have to deal with trans-Planckian scales. • Trans-Planckian collisions in standard QG have inaccessible energy scale and cannot be realized in usual conditions. • TeV Gravity to produce BH at Labs (1999) Banks, Fischler, hep-th/9906038 I.A., hep-th/9910269, Giuduce, Rattazzi, Wells, hep-ph/0112161 Giddings, hep-ph/0106219 Dimopolos, Landsberg, hep-ph/0106295
I.Aref’eva BH/WH at LHC, Dubna, Sept.2008 3-rd lecture Conclusion • TeV Gravity opens new channels – BH, WH, TM Wheeler foam at TeV scale. • WH/TM production at LHC is of the same order of magnitude as BH production (under assumption of geometrical crossection) • The important question on possible experimental signatures of spacetime nontrivial objects deserves further explorations.
