Energy Extraction via Magnetic Reconnection from a Rotating Dyonic Black Hole in N = 2, \ U(1)2 Gauged Supergravity

Abstract

We study energy extraction via magnetic reconnection from a rotating dyonic black hole in four-dimensional N=2, U(1)2 gauged supergravity. Using the Comisso-Asenjo mechanism in the ZAMO frame, we derive the asymptotic hydrodynamic energy per unit enthalpy ε∞ and determine when reconnection outflows attained negative energy at infinity. By varying the spin a, electric and magnetic charges, NUT parameter Ng, and gauge coupling g, we compute the cutoff magnetization σ0 cutoff and map the region of parameter space that admits ε∞-<0. We find that σ0 cutoff and the very existence of Comisso-Asenjo extraction are tightly controlled by g and the dyonic charges: increasing g or pushing the charges toward extremality raises σ0 cutoff and shrinks the CA-active part of the ergoregion. Unlike Kerr, the spin enters through the normalization factor Ξ, and the quartic horizon function Δg, so geometric effects from the AdS/NUT deformation dominate the usual frame-dragging enhancement. As a result, the extracted power and efficiency are non-monotonic in a and peak at intermediate spin (a0.8); near-extremal rotation is not required for high efficiency, provided g is small and Q is moderate. Efficient extraction further demands extreme magnetization and nearly radial outflows, confining the active reconnection layer to a thin shell, just outside the horizon.
