我们提出一种时空，它可作为无视界的极端黑洞模拟体。与此前研究的非简并视界黑洞模拟体不同，后者的几何为虫洞型，由两个通过极长喉道连接的渐近平坦区域构成；而极端黑洞模拟体在一端拥有单个渐近平坦区域，另一端则为无限长喉道。在喉道区域，该时空趋近于直积几何$M_{1,1} \times S^2$，其中$M_{1,1}$是二维闵可夫斯基时空，$S^2$是二维球面。我们研究标量场动力学及阿雷塔基斯不稳定性的演化。尽管在喉道的局域分析中会出现类阿雷塔基斯模式，但它们不会导致模拟体发生物理不稳定性。初始局域在喉道中的标量扰动，在后期会产生一系列具有特征间隔$t_{\rm delay}\sim 1/\lambda$的信号，其中$\lambda\ll 1$为形变参数。该时间尺度在参数上大于非极端黑洞模拟体特有的回波时间$t_{\rm echo}\sim \ln(1/\lambda)$。我们将该序列称为“长延迟信号序列”。从几何上看，长延迟信号的周期性与$S^2$上的周期测地线相关。随后我们将该构造推广至极端克尔情形。此时，喉道区域趋近于包含$M_{1,1}$和二维曲面$\Sigma_2$的广义积几何。相应的信号有望形成准周期信号序列，反映$\Sigma_2$上的准周期测地线运动。我们还讨论了将其推广至非极端黑洞的虫洞模拟体的情况，以及这些结果对AdS/CFT对应框架下幺正性的意义。
英文摘要
We present a spacetime that serves as a horizonless mimicker of extremal black holes. Unlike previously studied mimickers of black holes with non-degenerate horizons, whose geometries are of the wormhole type and consist of two asymptotically flat regions connected by a very long throat, the mimicker of an extremal black hole possesses a single asymptotically flat region at one end and an infinitely long throat at the other. In the throat region, the spacetime approaches the direct-product geometry $M_{1,1} \times S^2$, where $M_{1,1}$ is two-dimensional Minkowski spacetime and $S^2$ is the two-sphere. We investigate scalar-field dynamics and the fate of the Aretakis instability. Although Aretakis-like modes arise in a local analysis of the throat, they do not lead to a physical instability of the mimicker. A scalar perturbation initially localized in the throat gives rise, at late times, to a sequence of signals with a characteristic separation $t_{\rm delay}\sim 1/λ$, where $λ\ll 1$ is a deformation parameter. This timescale is parametrically larger than the echo time $t_{\rm echo}\sim \ln(1/λ)$ characteristic of non-extremal black-hole mimickers. We refer to this sequence as a {\it long-delay signal train}. Geometrically, the periodicity of the long-delay signals is associated with periodic geodesics on $S^2$. We then extend the construction to extremal Kerr. In this case, the throat region approaches a generalized product geometry involving $M_{1,1}$ and a two-dimensional surface $Σ_2$. The corresponding signals are expected to form a quasi-periodic signal train, reflecting the quasi-periodic geodesic motion on $Σ_2$. We also comment on the generalization to wormhole mimickers of non-extremal black holes and on the implications of these results for unitarity in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence.
