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.

The Nariai black hole, whose two horizons are lying close to each other, is an extreme and important case in the research of black hole. In this paper we study the evolution of a massless scalar field scattered around in 5D Schwarzschild–de Sitter black string space. Using the method shown by Brevik and Simonsen (2001) we solve the scalar field equation as a boundary value problem, where real boundary condition is employed. Then with convenient replacement of the 5D continuous potential by square barrier, the reflection and transmission coefficients (R, T) are obtained. At last, we also compare the coefficients with the usual 4D counterpart.

Frequently in Physics, insights and conclusions can be drawn from simple, idealized models. The discovery of critical behavior in the gravitational collapse of a massless scalar field leads to the simulation of binary black holes, from its coalescence to merging and ringdown. We refined a toy model to explore black hole formation as these events unfold to revisit the instability of a gravitational kink. We confirmed a conjecture related to a mass gap for critical behavior at the threshold of black hole formation. We find a critical exponent twice the standard value. Surprisingly, this larger critical exponent is also present in the multiple critical behavior for the black hole formation from a massless scalar field in asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes. What is the meaning of this mass gap? Does it have physical relevance?

The purpose of this paper is to study quasinormal modes (QNMs) of a regular black hole with a cosmological constant due to scalar perturbations. A detailed study of QNMs frequencies for the massless scalar field was done by varying the parameters of the theory such as mass, magnetic charge, cosmological constant and the spherical harmonic index. We have employed the sixth-order WKB approximation to compute the QNMs frequencies. We have also proved analytically that the [Formula: see text] mode for the massless field reaches a constant value at late times. We have approximated the near-extreme regular-de Sitter (dS) black hole potential with the Pöschl–Teller potential to obtain exact frequencies. The null geodesics of the regular-de Sitter black hole is employed to describe the QNMs frequencies at the eikonal limit ([Formula: see text]).

In this paper, we examine massless scalar field by using unimodular [Formula: see text] theory. It is taken into account unimodular and cylindrically symmetric spacetime which provides convenience in researching black hole. The field equations in unimodular [Formula: see text] theory for given spacetime with massless scalar field and additional Bianchi identities are solved. Cylindrically symmetric anti-de Sitter (AdS)–Schwarzschild-like and AdS–Reissner–Nordström-like black hole spacetimes are achieved. Equations of motion are derived by using Hamiltonian. Orbits of massless test particles are depicted. Obtained line element asymptotically converges to dS/AdS spacetime. Weak and strong energy conditions of the massless scalar field are obtained with Raychaudhuri equations in unimodular [Formula: see text] theory. Also, stiff fluid interpretation of scalar field is reviewed.

We study the time evolution of the Misner-Sharp mass and the apparent horizon for gravitational collapse of a massless scalar field in the [Formula: see text] spacetime for both cases of narrow and broad waves by numerically solving the Einstein’s equations coupled to a massless scalar field. This is done by relying on the full dynamics of the collapse including the concept of the dynamical horizon. It turns out that the Misner-Sharp mass is everywhere constant except for a rapid change across a thin shell defined by the density profile of the collapsing wave. By studying the evolution of the apparent horizon, indicating the formation of a black hole at different times we see how asymptotically an event horizon forms. The dependence of the thermalization time on the radius of the initial black hole event horizon is also studied.

Several physical natures of charged brane-world black holes are investigated. Firstly, the timelike and null geodesics of the charged brane-world black holes are presented. We also analyze all the possible motions by plotting the effective potentials for various parameters for circular and radial geodesics. Secondly, we investigate the motion of test particles in the gravitational field of the charged brane-world black holes using the Hamilton–Jacobi formalism. We consider charged and uncharged test particles and examine their behavior in both static and nonstatic cases. Thirdly, the thermodynamics of the charged brane-world black holes are studied. Finally, it is shown that there is no phenomenon of superradiance for an incident massless scalar field for such a black hole.
