    Instability of Massive Scalar Fields in Kerr-Newman Spacetime

    Full text link
    We investigate the instability of charged massive scalar fields in Kerr-Newman spacetime. Due to the super-radiant effect of the background geometry, the bound state of the scalar field is unstable, and its amplitude grows in time. By solving the Klein-Gordon equation of the scalar field as an eigenvalue problem, we numerically obtain the growth rate of the amplitude of the scalar field. Although the dependence of the scalar field mass and the scalar field charge on this growth rate agrees with the result of the analytic approximation, the maximum value of the growth rate is three times larger than that of the analytic approximation. We also discuss the effect of the electric charge on the instability of the scalar field.Comment: 15 pages, 10 figures. Accepted for publication in Prog.Theor.Phy

    Fate of Inhomogeneity in Schwarzschild-deSitter Space-time

    Full text link
    We investigate the global structure of the space time with a spherically symmetric inhomogeneity using a metric junction, and classify all possible types. We found that a motion with a negative gravitational mass is possible although the energy condition of the matter is not violated. Using the result, formation of black hole and worm hole during the inflationary era is discussed.Comment: 6page

    The separate universe and the back reaction of long wavelength fluctuations

    Full text link
    We investigate the backreaction of cosmological long wavelength perturbations on the evolution of the Universe. By applying the renormalization group method to a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe with long wavelength fluctuations, we demonstrate that the renormalized solution with the backreaction effect is equivalent to that of the separate universe. Then, using the effective Friedmann equation, we show that only non-adiabatic mode of long wavelength fluctuations affects the expansion law of the spatially averaged universe.Comment: 10 pages. to be published in Phys.

    Evolution of Cosmological Perturbation in Reheating Phase of the Universe

    Get PDF
    The evolution of the cosmological perturbation during the oscillatory stage of the scalar field is investigated. For the power law potential of the inflaton field, the evolution equation of the Mukhanov's gauge invariant variable is reduced to the Mathieu equation and the density perturbation grows by the parametric resonance.Comment: 10 pages, 1 figure
