| Thick domain walls around a black hole (2002) | |||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||
| We discuss the gravitationally interacting system of a thick domain wall and a black hole. We numerically solve the scalar field equation in the Schwarzschild spacetime and obtain a sequence of static axi-symmetric solutions representing thick domain walls. We find that, for the walls near the horizon, the Nambu--Goto approximation is no longer valid.. Comment: 18 pages, 11 figures, one reference added | |||||||||
