Black Hole Horizons from the Double Copy
arXiv:2306.02417 · doi:10.1088/1361-6382/acfe57
Abstract
We describe a procedure for locating black hole horizons in Kerr-Schild spacetimes in the double copy paradigm. Using only single- and zeroth-copy data on flat spacetime, our procedure predicts the existence of trapped surfaces in the double-copy gravitational solution. We show explicitly how this procedure locates the horizon of the Schwarzschild black hole and the general Myers-Perry black hole.
