Dynamical evolution of a scalar field coupling to Einstein's tensor in the Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black hole spacetime
We study the dynamical evolution of a scalar field coupling to Einstein's
tensor in the background of Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black hole. Our results show
that the the coupling constant imprints in the wave dynamics of a scalar
perturbation. In the weak coupling, we find that with the increase of the
coupling constant the real parts of the fundamental quasinormal
frequencies decrease and the absolute values of imaginary parts increase for
fixed charge and multipole number . In the strong coupling, we find that
for the instability occurs when is larger than a certain
threshold value which deceases with the multipole number and
charge . However, for the lowest , we find that there does not exist
such a threshold value and the scalar field always decays for arbitrary
coupling constant.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figures, accepted for publication in Phys Rev
Quasinormal modes of black holes localized on the Randall-Sundrum 2-brane
We investigate conformal scalar, electromagnetic, and massless Dirac
quasinormal modes of a brane-localized black hole. The background solution is
the four-dimensional black hole on a 2-brane that has been constructed by
Emparan, Horowitz, and Myers in the context of a lower dimensional version of
the Randall-Sundrum model. The conformally transformed metric admits a Killing
tensor, allowing us to obtain separable field equations. We find that the
radial equations take the same form as in the four-dimensional "braneless"
Schwarzschild black hole. The angular equations are, however, different from
the standard ones, leading to a different prediction for quasinormal
frequencies.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures; references added, version to appear in PR
Quasinormal modes of the charged black hole in Gauss-Bonnet gravity
The d-dimensional string generated gravity models lead to Einstein-Maxwell
equations with quadratic order correction term called the Gauss-Bonnet term. We
calculate the quasinormal modes for the d-dimensional charged black hole in the
framework of this model. The quasinormal spectrum essentially depends upon the
Gauss-Bonnet coupling parameter which is related to the string scale,
and is totally different from that for black holes derived from Einstein
action. In particular, at large the quasinormal modes are proportional
to , while as goes to zero the qusinormal modes approach their
Schwarzschild values. In contrary to Einstein theory black hole behavior, the
damping rate of the charged GB black hole as a function of charge does not
contain a chracteristic maximum, but instead the monotonic falling down is
observed. In addition, there have been obtained an asymptotic formula for large
multipole numbers.Comment: 16 pages, 4 figures, 3 tables; misprints correcte
High overtones of Dirac perturbations of a Schwarzschild black hole
Using the Frobenius method, we find high overtones of the Dirac quasinormal
spectrum for the Schwarzschild black hole. At high overtones, the spacing for
imaginary part of is equidistant and equals to
, ( is the black hole mass), which
is twice less than that for fields of integer spin. At high overtones, the real
part of goes to zero. This supports the suggestion that the
expected correspondence between quasinormal modes and Barbero-Immirzi parameter
in Loop Quantum Gravity is just a numerical coincidence.Comment: 5 pages, Latex, 3 figures, Physical Review D.,at pres
Continuous area spectrum in regular black hole
We investigate highly damped quasinormal modes of regular black hole coupled
to nonlinear electrodynamics. Using the WKB approximation combined with
complex-integration technique, we show that the real part of the frequency
disappears in the highly damped limit. If we use the Bohr's correspondence
principle, the area spectrum of this black hole is continuous. We discuss its
implication in the loop quantum gravity.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure
Scalar field evolution in Gauss-Bonnet black holes
It is presented a thorough analysis of scalar perturbations in the background
of Gauss-Bonnet, Gauss-Bonnet-de Sitter and Gauss-Bonnet-anti-de Sitter black
hole spacetimes. The perturbations are considered both in frequency and time
domain. The dependence of the scalar field evolution on the values of the
cosmological constant and the Gauss-Bonnet coupling is
investigated. For Gauss-Bonnet and Gauss-Bonnet-de Sitter black holes, at
asymptotically late times either power-law or exponential tails dominate, while
for Gauss-Bonnet-anti-de Sitter black hole, the quasinormal modes govern the
scalar field decay at all times. The power-law tails at asymptotically late
times for odd-dimensional Gauss-Bonnet black holes does not depend on ,
even though the black hole metric contains as a new parameter. The
corrections to quasinormal spectrum due to Gauss-Bonnet coupling is not small
and should not be neglected. For the limit of near extremal value of the
(positive) cosmological constant and pure de Sitter and anti-de Sitter modes in
Gauss-Bonnet gravity we have found analytical expressions.Comment: 10 pages, to be published in Phys. Rev.
Non-Quasinormal Modes and Black Hole Physics
The near-horizon geometry of a large class of extremal and near-extremal
black holes in string and M theory contains three-dimensional asymptotically
anti-de Sitter space. Motivated by this structure, we are led naturally to a
discrete set of complex frequencies defined in terms of the monodromy at the
inner and outer horizons of the black hole. We show that the correspondence
principle, whereby the real part of these ``non-quasinormal frequencies'' is
identified with certain fundamental quanta, leads directly to the correct
quantum behavior of the near-horizon Virasoro algebra, and thus the black hole
entropy. Remarkably, for the rotating black hole in five dimensions we also
reproduce the fractionization of conformal weights predicted in string theory.Comment: 4 pages, revtex4; v2: reference added; v3: more references, minor

Massive scalar field quasi-normal modes of higher dimensional black holes
We study quasinormal spectrum of massive scalar field in the -dimensional
black hole background. We found the qualitatively different dependence on the
field mass of the fundamental modes for . The behaviour of higher modes
is qualitatively the same for all . Thus for some particular values of mass
(of the field and of the black hole) the spectrum has two dominating
oscillations with a very long lifetime. Also we show that the asymptotically
high overtones do not depend on the field mass. In addition, we present the
generalisation of the Nollert improvement of the continued fraction technique
for the numerical calculation of quasi-normal frequencies of -dimensional
black holes.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, misprints corrected, version to appear in Phys.

The Mystery of the Asymptotic Quasinormal Modes of Gauss-Bonnet Black Holes
We analyze the quasinormal modes of -dimensional Schwarzschild black holes
with the Gauss-Bonnet correction in the large damping limit and show that
standard analytic techniques cannot be applied in a straightforward manner to
the case of infinite damping. However, by using a combination of analytic and
numeric techniques we are able to calculate the quasinormal mode frequencies in
a range where the damping is large but finite. We show that for this damping
region the famous appears in the real part of the quasinormal mode
frequency. In our calculations, the Gauss-Bonnet coupling, , is taken
to be much smaller than the parameter , which is related to the black hole
mass.Comment: 12 pages and 5 figure
Resonant excitations of the 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole
The spherically symmetric magnetic monopole in an SU(2) gauge theory coupled
to a massless Higgs field is shown to possess an infinite number of resonances
or quasinormal modes. These modes are eigenfunctions of the isospin 1
perturbation equations with complex eigenvalues, ,
satisfying the outgoing radiation condition. For , their
frequencies approach the mass of the vector boson, , while
their lifetimes tend to infinity. The response of the monopole to
an arbitrary initial perturbation is largely determined by these resonant
modes, whose collective effect leads to the formation of a long living
breather-like excitation characterized by pulsations with a frequency
approaching and with an amplitude decaying at late times as .Comment: 4 page
