Spontaneous Vectorization in the Einstein-Maxwell-Vector Model

Abstract

We investigate spontaneous vectorization in the Einstein-Maxwell-Vector (EMV) model, introducing a novel mechanism driven by the interplay between electromagnetic and vector fields. A key innovation in our work is the resolution of an apparent divergence in the vector field near the event horizon, achieved by employing a generalized coordinate transformation. This not only extends the domain of existence for vectorized Reissner-Nordström black holes (VRNBHs), but also refines the theoretical understanding of such solutions. We introduce a new concept of combined charge $\sqrt{{\tilde{Q}}^2+{\tilde{P}}^2}$, which better captures the underlying physics of these black holes and provides a unified framework for analyzing thermodynamics and observable phenomena such as light ring structures. Our findings suggest that VRNBHs exhibit enhanced thermodynamic preference and distinctive light ring properties compared to Reissner-Nordström solutions. Moreover, we demonstrate how this combined charge approach reveals connections to two-charge black hole solutions, offering promising avenues for observational verification within the context of effective field theories.
