Entropy and mass bounds of Kerr-de Sitter spacetimes
- Department of Physics, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, N2L 3G1 (Canada)
We consider Kerr-de Sitter spacetimes and evaluate their mass, angular momentum, and entropy according to the boundary counterterm prescription. We provide a physical interpretation for angular velocity and angular momentum at future/past infinity. We show that the entropy of the four-dimensional Kerr-de Sitter spacetimes is less than of pure de Sitter (dS) spacetime in agreement with the entropic N bound. Moreover, we show that maximal mass conjecture which states 'any asymptotically de Sitter spacetime with mass greater than de Sitter has a cosmological singularity' is respected by asymptotically de Sitter spacetimes with rotation. We furthermore consider the possibility of strengthening the conjecture to state that 'any asymptotically dS spacetime will have mass greater than dS if and only if it has a cosmological singularity' and find that Kerr-de Sitter spacetimes do not respect this stronger statement. We investigate the behavior of the c function for the Kerr-de Sitter spacetimes and show that it is no longer isotropic. However an average of the c function over the angular variables yields a renormalization group flow in agreement with the expansion of spacetime at future infinity.
