Black holes in the presence of dark energy

Babichev, E. O., Dokuchaev, V. I., Eroshenko, Yu. N.

Understand

The new, rapidly developing field of theoretical research --- studies of dark energy interacting with black holes (and, in particular, accreting onto black holes) --- is reviewed.

  • The term `dark energy' is meant to cover a wide range of field theory models, as well as perfect fluids with various equations of state, including cosmological dark energy.
  • Various accretion models are analyzed in terms of the simplest test field approximation or by allowing back reaction on the black-hole metric.
  • The behavior of various types of dark energy in the vicinity of Schwarzschild and electrically charged black holes is examined.
