چکیده
We compute the gravitational self-force (or “radiation reaction” force) acting on a particle falling radially into a Schwarzschild black hole. Our calculation is based on the “mode-sum” method, in which one first calculates the individual l-multipole contributions to the self-force (by numerically integrating the decoupled perturbation equations) and then regularizes the sum over modes by applying a certain analytic procedure. We demonstrate the equivalence of this method with the ζ−function scheme. The convergence rate of the mode-sum series is considerably improved here (thus reducing computational requirements) by employing an analytic approximation at large l.

We study the gravitational collapse of a self-gravitating charged scalar-field. Starting with a regular spacetime, we follow the evolution through the formation of an apparent horizon, a Cauchy horizon and a final central singularity. We find a null, weak, mass-inflation singularity along the Cauchy horizon, which is a precursor of a strong, spacelike singularity along the r = 0 hypersurface. T...

Recently, it has been shown that the wave equation for a scalar field on the exterior part of the Schwarzschild manifold satisfies local decay estimates useful for scattering theory and global existence [2]. The extension for the linearized Einstein equation is considered here. In 1957, Regge and Wheeler investigated spin 2 tensor fields on the Schwarzschild manifold [4]. They classified such f...

We consider the critical behavior at the threshold of black hole formation for the five dimensional vacuum Einstein equations satisfying the cohomogeneity-two triaxial Bianchi IX ansatz. Exploiting a discrete symmetry present in this model we predict the existence of a codimension-two attractor. This prediction is confirmed numerically and the codimension-two attractor is identified as a discre...

We present the quasinormal frequencies of the massive scalar field in the background of a Schwarzchild black hole surrounded by quintessence with the third-order WKB method. The mass of the scalar field u plays an important role in studying the quasinormal frequencies, the real part of the frequencies increases linearly as mass u increases, while the imaginary part in absolute value decreases l...
