    Gravitational quasinormal radiation of higher-dimensional black holes

    Full text link
    We find the gravitational resonance (quasinormal) modes of the higher dimensional Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordstrem black holes. The effect on the quasinormal behavior due to the presence of the λ\lambda term is investigated. The QN spectrum is totally different for different signs of λ\lambda. In more than four dimensions there excited three types of gravitational modes: scalar, vector, and tensor. They produce three different quasinormal spectra, thus the isospectrality between scalar and vector perturbations, which takes place for D=4 Schwarzschild and Schwarzschild-de-Sitter black holes, is broken in higher dimensions. That is the scalar-type gravitational perturbations, connected with deformations of the black hole horizon, which damp most slowly and therefore dominate during late time of the black hole ringing.Comment: 13 pages, 2 figures, several references are adde

    Nonlinear Gravitational Waves: Their Form and Effects

    Full text link
    A gravitational wave must be nonlinear to be able to transport its own source, that is, energy and momentum. A physical gravitational wave, therefore, cannot be represented by a solution to a linear wave equation. Relying on this property, the second-order solution describing such physical waves is obtained. The effects they produce on free particles are found to consist of nonlinear oscillations along the direction of propagation.Comment: 15 pages, no figures. v2: presentation changes aiming at clarifying the text; matches published versio

    Quasinormal modes of black holes immersed in a strong magnetic field

    Full text link
    We found quasinormal modes, both in time and frequency domains, of the Ernst black holes, that is neutral black holes immersed in an external magnetic field. The Ernst solution reduces to the Schwarzschild solution, when the magnetic field vanishes. It is found that the quasinormal spectrum for massless scalar field in the vicinity of the magnetized black holes acquires an effective "mass" μ=2Bm\mu = 2 B m, where m is the azimuthal number and B is parameter describing the magnetic field. We shall show that in the presence of a magnetic field quasinormal modes are longer lived and have larger oscillation frequencies. The perturbations of higher dimensional magnetized black holes by Ortaggio and of magnetized dilaton black holes by Radu are considered.Comment: 5 pages, RevTe

    Quasinormal behavior of the D-dimensional Schwarzshild black hole and higher order WKB approach

    Full text link
    We study characteristic (quasinormal) modes of a DD-dimensional Schwarzshild black hole. It proves out that the real parts of the complex quasinormal modes, representing the real oscillation frequencies, are proportional to the product of the number of dimensions and inverse horizon radius Dr01\sim D r_{0}^{-1}. The asymptotic formula for large multipole number ll and arbitrary DD is derived. In addition the WKB formula for computing QN modes, developed to the 3rd order beyond the eikonal approximation, is extended to the 6th order here. This gives us an accurate and economic way to compute quasinormal frequencies.Comment: 15 pages, 6 figures, the 6th order WKB formula for computing QNMs in Mathematica is available from https://goo.gl/nykYG

    Quasinormal modes of a Schwarzschild black hole surrounded by free static spherically symmetric quintessence: Electromagnetic perturbations

    Full text link
    In this paper, we evaluated the quasinormal modes of electromagnetic perturbation in a Schwarzschild black hole surrounded by the static spherically symmetric quintessence by using the third-order WKB approximation when the quintessential state parameter wq w_{q} in the range of 1/3<wq<0-1/3<w_{q}<0. Due to the presence of quintessence, Maxwell field damps more slowly. And when at 1<wq<1/3-1<w_{q}<-1/3, it is similar to the black hole solution in the ds/Ads spacetime. The appropriate boundary conditions need to be modified.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure

    Holographic conductivity of zero temperature superconductors

    Using the recently found by G. Horowitz and M. Roberts (arXiv:0908.3677) numerical model of the ground state of holographic superconductors (at zero temperature), we calculate the conductivity for such models. The universal relation connecting conductivity with the reflection coefficient was used for finding the conductivity by the WKB approach. The dependence of the conductivity on the frequency and charge density is discussed. Numerical calculations confirm the general arguments of (arXiv:0908.3677) in favor of non-zero conductivity even at zero temperature. In addition to the Horowitz-Roberts solution we have found (probably infinite) set of extra solutions which are normalizable and reach the same correct RN-AdS asymptotic at spatial infinity. These extra solutions (which correspond to larger values of the grand canonical potential) lead to effective potentials that also vanish at the horizon and thus correspond to a non-zero conductivity at zero temperature.Comment: 9 pages, 10 figure

    Gravitational spectrum of black holes in the Einstein-Aether theory

    Get PDF
    Evolution of gravitational perturbations, both in time and frequency domains, is considered for a spherically symmetric black hole in the non-reduced Einstein-Aether theory. It is shown that real oscillation frequency and damping rate are larger for the Einstein-Aether black hole than for the Schwarzschild black hole. This may provide an opportunity to observe aether in the forthcoming experiments with new generation of gravitational antennas.Comment: 4 pages, RevTex, to be published in Phys. Lett.

    A note on quasinormal modes: A tale of two treatments

    Full text link
    There is an apparent discrepancy in the literature with regard to the quasinormal mode frequencies of Schwarzschild-de Sitter black holes in the degenerate-horizon limit. On the one hand, a Poschl-Teller-inspired method predicts that the real part of the frequencies will depend strongly on the orbital angular momentum of the perturbation field whereas, on the other hand, the degenerate limit of a monodromy-based calculation suggests there should be no such dependence (at least, for the highly damped modes). In the current paper, we provide a possible resolution by critically re-assessing the limiting procedure used in the monodromy analysis.Comment: 11 pages, Revtex format; (v2) new addendum in response to reader comments, also references, footnote and acknowledgments adde

    Perturbations and quasi-normal modes of black holes in Einstein-Aether theory

    Full text link
    We develop a new method for calculation of quasi-normal modes of black holes, when the effective potential, which governs black hole perturbations, is known only numerically in some region near the black hole. This method can be applied to perturbations of a wide class of numerical black hole solutions. We apply it to the black holes in the Einstein-Aether theory, a theory where general relativity is coupled to a unit time-like vector field, in order to observe local Lorentz symmetry violation. We found that in the non-reduced Einstein-Aether theory, real oscillation frequency and damping rate of quasi-normal modes are larger than those of Schwarzschild black holes in the Einstein theory.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, RevTex, to be published in Phys. Lett.
