Late-time decay of perturbations outside extremal charged black hole

Abstract

We analyze the late-time decay of scalar perturbations in extremal Reissner-Nordstrom spacetime. We consider individual spherical-harmonic modes $l$ of a test massless scalar field, restricting our attention to initial data of compact support, with generic regular behavior across the horizon. We obtain a decay rate $\propto t^{-(2l+3)}$ (just like in Schwarzschild) for incident waves scattered by the black hole. However, for waves originating at the horizon's neighborhood we obtain a slightly slower decay, $\propto t^{-(2l+2)}$. We discuss relations to previous works.
