Kerr/Fluid Duality and Singularity of Solutions to the Fluid Equation

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

An equation for a viscous incompressible fluid on a spheroidal surface which is dual to the perturbation around the near-near horizon extreme Kerr (n-NHEK) black hole is derived. It is also shown that an expansion scalar θθ of a congruence of null geodesics on the null horizon of the perturbed n-NHEK spacetime, which is dual to a viscous incompressible fluid, is not positive semi-definite, even if initial conditions on the velocity are smooth. Unless initial conditions are elaborated, caustics of null congruence will occur on the horizon in the future. A similar result is obtained for a perturbed Schwarzschild black hole spacetime which is dual to a viscous incompressible fluid on S2S^2. An initial condition that θθ be positive semi-definite at any point on S2S^2 is a necessary condition for the existence of smooth solutions to incompressible Navier-Stokes (NS) equation on S2S^2.
