Abstract We describe a unitary scattering process, as observed from spatial infinity, of massless scalar particles on an asymptotically flat Schwarzschild black hole background. In order to do so, we split the problem in two different regimes governing the dynamics of the scattering process. The first describes the evolution of the modes in the region away from the horizon and can be analysed in terms of the effective Regge-Wheeler potential. In the near horizon region, where the Regge-Wheeler potential becomes insignificant, the WKB geometric optics approximation of Hawking’s is replaced by the near-horizon gravitational scattering matrix that captures non-perturbative soft graviton exchanges near the horizon. We perform an appropriate matching for the scattering solutions of these two dynamical problems and compute the resulting Bogoliubov relations, that combines both dynamics. This allows us to formulate an S-matrix for the scattering process that is manifestly unitary. We discuss the analogue of the (quasi)-normal modes in this setup and the emergence of gravitational echoes that follow an original burst of radiation as the excited black hole relaxes to equilibrium.

We study the massless scalar wave propagation in the time-dependent Schwarzschild black hole background. We find that the Kruskal coordinate is an appropriate framework to investigate the time-dependent spacetime. A time-dependent scattering potential is derived by considering dynamical black hole with parameters changing with time. It is shown that in the quasinormal ringing both the decay time-scale and oscillation are modified in the time-dependent background.

Recently, some approaches to quantum gravity indicate that a minimal measurable length [Formula: see text] should be considered, a direct implication of the minimal measurable length is the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP). Taking the effect of GUP into account, Hawking radiation of massless scalar particles from a Schwarzschild black hole is investigated by the use of Damour–Ruffini’s method. The original Klein–Gordon equation is modified. It is obtained that the corrected Hawking temperature is related to the energy of emitting particles. Some discussions appear in the last section.

We study analytically the evolution of massless Dirac fields in the background of the Schwarzschild black hole. It is shown that although the quasinormal frequencies are the same for opposite chirality with the same |k|, we can differentiate neutrinos from anti-neutrinos in evolution of the massless Dirac fields provided we know both stages for the quasinormal modes and the power-law tail behavior since the decay rate of the neutrinos is described by t-(2|k|+1) while anti-neutrinos is t-(2|k|+3).

In this paper, we have studied a black hole in de Sitter space which has a conformally coupled scalar field in the background. This black hole is also known as the MTZ black hole. We have obtained exact values for the quasi-normal mode (QNM) frequencies under massless scalar field perturbations. We have demonstrated that when the black hole is near-extremal, that the wave equation for the massless scalar field simplifies to a Schrödinger type equation with the well-known Pöschl–Teller potential. We have also used sixth-order WKB approximation to compute QNM frequencies to compare with exact values obtained via the Pöschl–Teller method for comparison. As an application, we have obtained the area spectrum using modified Hods approach and show that it is equally spaced.

We studied the quasi-normal modes (QNM) of electromagnetic and gravitational perturbations of a Schwarzschild black hole in an asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime, extending previous works1,2 on the subject. Some of the electromagnetic modes do not oscillate, they only decay, since they have pure imaginary frequencies. The gravitational modes show peculiar features: the odd and even gravitational perturbations no longer have the same characteristic quasinormal frequencies. There is a special mode for odd perturbations whose behavior differs completely from the usual one in scalar1 and electromagnetic perturbation in an AdS spacetime, but has a similar behavior to the Schwarzschild black hole3 in an asymptotically flat spacetime: the imaginary part of the frequency goes as [Formula: see text], where r+ is the horizon radius. We also investigated the small black hole limit showing that the imaginary part of the frequency goes as [Formula: see text]. These results are important to the AdS/CFT4 conjecture since according to it the QNMs describe the approach to equilibrium in the conformal field theory. For other geometries see5,6.

We derive proper time Lyapunov exponent [Formula: see text] and coordinate time Lyapunov exponent [Formula: see text] for a regular Hayward class of black hole. The proper time corresponds to [Formula: see text] and the coordinate time corresponds to [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is measured by the asymptotic observers both for Hayward black hole and for special case of Schwarzschild black hole. We compute their ratio as [Formula: see text] for time-like geodesics. In the limit of [Formula: see text] that means for Schwarzschild black hole this ratio reduces to [Formula: see text]. Using Lyapunov exponent, we investigate the stability and instability of equatorial circular geodesics. By evaluating the Lyapunov exponent, which is the inverse of the instability time scale, we show that, in the eikonal limit, the real and imaginary parts of quasi-normal modes (QNMs) is specified by the frequency and instability time scale of the null circular geodesics. Furthermore, we discuss the unstable photon sphere and radius of shadow for this class of black hole.

Recently, via adiabatic invariance, Majhi and Vagenas quantized the horizon area of the general class of a static spherically symmetric space–time. Very recently, applying the period of the gravity system with respect to the Euclidean time, Zeng and Liu derived area spectra of a Schwarzschild black hole and a Kerr black hole. It is noteworthy that the preceding methods are not useful for the quasi-normal modes. In this paper, based on those works, and as a further study, adopting near horizon approximation, applying the laws of black hole thermodynamics, we would like to investigate the black hole spectroscopy from a class of Plebański and Demiański space–times by using two different methods. The result shows that the area spectrum of the black hole is [Formula: see text], which confirms the initial proposal of Bekenstein, and the result is consistent with that already obtained by Maggiore with quasi-normal modes.

AbstractWe 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 of the field u increases, while the imaginary part in absolute value decreases linearly which leads to damping more slowly than the massless scalar field. The frequencies have a limited value, so it is easier to detect the quasinormal modes. Moreover, owing to the presence of the quintessence, the massive scalar field damps more slowly.
