Dirac Quasinormal Modes of New Type Black Holes in New Massive Gravity

We study new type black holes in three-dimensional New Massive Gravity and we calculate analytically the quasinormal modes for fermionic perturbations for some special cases. Then, we show that for these cases the new type black holes are stable under fermionic field perturbations.Comment: improved version. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1306.5974, arXiv:1404.317

Motion of particles on a Four-Dimensional Asymptotically AdS Black Hole with Scalar Hair

Motivated by black hole solutions with matter fields outside their horizon, we study the effect of these matter fields in the motion of massless and massive particles. We consider as background a four-dimensional asymptotically AdS black hole with scalar hair. The geodesics are studied numerically and we discuss about the differences in the motion of particles between the four-dimensional asymptotically AdS black holes with scalar hair and their no-hair limit, that is, Schwarzschild AdS black holes. Mainly, we found that there are bounded orbits like planetary orbits in this background. However, the periods associated to circular orbits are modified by the presence of the scalar hair. Besides, we found that some classical tests such as perihelion precession, deflection of light and gravitational time delay have the standard value of general relativity plus a correction term coming from the cosmological constant and the scalar hair. Finally, we found a specific value of the parameter associated to the scalar hair, in order to explain the discrepancy between the theory and the observations, for the perihelion precession of Mercury and light deflection.Comment: 20 pages and 9 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1309.216

Dirac quasinormal modes of two-dimensional charged Dilatonic Black Holes

We study charged fermionic perturbations in the background of two-dimensional charged Dilatonic black holes, and we present the exact Dirac quasinormal modes. Also, we study the stability of these black holes under charged fermionic perturbations.Comment: version accepted for publication in EPJC. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1404.5371, arXiv:1404.602

Compact extra dimensions in cosmologies with f(T) structure

The presence of compact extra dimensions in cosmological scenarios in the context of f(T)-like gravities is discussed. For the case of toroidal compactifications, the analysis is performed in an arbitrary number of extra dimensions. Spherical topologies for the extra dimensions are then carefully studied in six and seven spacetime dimensions, where the proper vielbein fields responsible for the parallelization process are found.Comment: 11 pages, one figure (added).
