    New classes of black hole spacetime in 2+1 gravity
    (2015-03-01) Bose, Sukanta; Dadhich, Naresh; Kar, Syan
    New multi-parameter families of black holes in three-dimensional (3D) gravity are obtained. We apply the electrogravity transformation (which implies an exchange of the Ricci and Einstein tensors) to the 3D field equations to obtain these solutions. Several properties of these geometries, including the nature of the matter that threads them, are discussed. Some of these properties are found to be strikingly different from known black holes in (2+1) dimensions.

    Detection of gravitational waves using a network of detectors
    (2015-03-01) Bose, Sukanta; Dhurandhar, S.V.; Pai, Archana
    We formulate the data analysis problem for the detection of the Newtonian coalescing-binary signal by a network of laser interferometric gravitational wave detectors that have arbitrary orientations, but are located at the same site. We use the maximum likelihood method for optimizing the detection problem. We show that for networks comprising of up to three detectors, the optimal statistic is just the matched network-filter. Alternatively, it is simply a linear combination of the signal-to-noise ratios of the individual detectors. This statistic, therefore, can be interpreted as the signal-to-noise ratio of the network. The overall sensitivity of the network is shown to increase roughly as the square-root of the number of detectors in the network. We further show that these results continue to hold even for the restricted post Newtonian filters. Finally, our formalism is general enough to be extended, in a straightforward way, to address the problem of detection of such waves from other sources by some other types of detectors, eg., bars or spheres, or even by networks of spatially well-separated detectors.

    On the electrogravity-dual solution to stringy charged black holes
    (2015-03-01) Bose, Sukanta; Dadhich, Naresh
    By resolving the Riemann curvature tensor relative to a timelike unit vector into electric and magnetic parts, electrogravity-duality transformation is defined. Such a transformation interchanges the "active" and "passive" electric parts of this tensor and can be used to obtain spacetime metrics dual to known solutions of any geometric theory of gravity, such as Einstein gravity. The vacuum field equations of general relativity are invariant under such a transformation. It is possible to break this symmetry by introducing matter terms in such a way that the characteristic vacuum solution is still obtained as a special case of that matter distribution. Such a possibility exists for all stationary black hole solutions. Interestingly, solutions exist even for the dual equations with the matter terms. Here, we extend this formalism to study the static, charged black hole solutions of a four-dimensional low-energy effective action of heterotic string theory. We show that analogous to general relativity, the dual solution is itself a similar black hole spacetime, endowed with a global monopole charge.
