Abstract
Talking about a black hole, one has in mind the process of unlimited self-compression of gravitating matter with a mass greater than critical. With a mass greater than the critical one, the elasticity of neutron matter cannot withstand gravitational compression. However, compression cannot be unlimited, because with increasing pressure, neutrons turn into some other “more elementary” particles. These can be bosons of the Standard Model of elementary particles. The wave function of the condensate of neutral bosons at zero temperature is a scalar field. If instead of the constraint det gik < 0 we use a weaker condition of regularity (all invariants of the metric tensor gik
are finite), then there is a regular static spherically symmetric solution to Klein-Gordon and Einstein equations, claiming to describe the state to which the gravitational collapse leads. With no restriction on total mass. In this solution, the metric component grr
changes its sign twice: g
rr (r) = 0 at r=rg
and r=rh > rg
. Between these two gravitational radii the signature of the metric tensor gik
is (+, +, -, -). Gravitational radius rg
inside the gravitating body ensures regularity in the center. Within the framework of the phenomenological model “λψ4
”, relying on the existence and uniqueness theorem, the main properties of a collapsed black hole are determined. At r = rg
a regular solution to Klein-Gordon and Einstein equations exists, but it is not a unique one. Gravitational radius rg
is the branch point at which, among all possible continuous solutions, we have to choose a proper one, corresponding to the problem under consideration. We are interested in solutions that correspond to a finite mass of a black hole. It turns out that the density value of bosons is constant at r < rg. It depends only on the elasticity of a condensate, and does not depend on the total mass. The energy-momentum tensor at r ⩽ rg corresponds to the ultra relativistic equation of state p = ɛ/3. In addition to the discrete spectrum of static solutions with a mass less than the critical one (where grr
< 0 does not change sign), there is a continuous spectrum of equilibrium states with grr(r) changing sign twice, and with no restriction on mass. Among the states of continuous spectrum, the maximum possible density of bosons depends on the mass of the condensate and on the rest mass of bosons. The rest energy of massive Standard Model bosons is about 100 GeV. In this case, for the black hole in the center of our Milky Way galaxy, the maximum possible density of particles should not exceed 3 × 1081 cm-3.
