Dynamics of scalar fields in the background of rotating black holes.

چکیده
A numerical study of the evolution of a massless scalar field in the background of rotating black holes is presented. First, solutions to the wave equation are obtained for slowly rotating black holes. In this approximation, the background geometry is treated as a perturbed Schwarzschild spacetime with the angular momentum per unit mass playing the role of a perturbative parameter. To first order in the angular momentum of the black hole, the scalar wave equation yields two coupled one-dimensional evolution equations for a function representing the scalar field in the Schwarzschild background and a second field that accounts for the rotation. Solutions to the wave equation are also obtained for rapidly rotating black holes. In this case, the wave equation does not admit complete separation of variables and yields a two-dimensional evolution equation. The study shows that, for rotating black holes, the late time dynamics of a massless scalar field exhibit the same power-law behavior as in the case of a Schwarzschild background independently of the angular momentum of the black hole. 04.30.Nk Typeset using REVTEX

The absorption and emission spectra for the minimally-coupled brane and bulk scalar fields are numerically computed when the spacetime is a 5d rotating black hole carrying the two different angular momentum parameters a and b. The effect of the superradiant scattering in the spectra is carefully examined. It is shown that the low-energy limit of the total absorption cross section always equal t...
متن کاملConformal Invariance and Near-Extreme Rotating AdS Black Holes
We obtain retarded Green’s functions for massless scalar fields in the background of near-extreme, nearhorizon rotating charged black holes of five-dimensional minimal gauged supergravity. The radial part of the (separable) massless Klein-Gordon equation in such general black hole backgrounds is Heun’s equation, due to the singularity structure associated with the three black hole horizons. On ...
متن کاملLate-Time Dynamics of Scalar Fields on Rotating Black Hole Backgrounds
The purpose of the studies presented in this paper is to point out the need for further work towards a definitive answer to the following question: How do perturbations of a rotating black hole get radiated away? Using the Teukolsky formalism [1], we can search for an answer to that question by studying the evolution of a complex spin-weighted wavefunction that is defined in terms of curvature ...
متن کاملMass of Rotating Black Holes in Gauged Supergravities
The masses of several recently-constructed rotating black holes in gauged supergravities, including the general such solution in minimal gauged supergravity in five dimensions, have until now been calculated only by integrating the first law of thermodynamics. In some respects it is more satisfactory to have a calculation of the mass that is based directly upon the integration of a conserved qu...
متن کاملScale Invariant Hairy Black Holes
Scalar fields coupled to three-dimensional gravity are considered. We uncover a scaling symmetry present in the black hole reduced action, and use it to prove a Smarr formula valid for any potential. We also prove that non-rotating hairy black holes exists only for positive total energy. The extension to higher dimensions is also considered.
