Scalar Fields in Black Hole Spacetimes
arXiv:1705.04949 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.96.024020
Abstract
The time-evolution of matter fields in black hole exterior spacetimes is a well-studied subject, spanning several decades of research. However, the behavior of fields in the black hole interior spacetime, has only relatively recently begun receiving some attention from the research community. In this paper, we numerically study the late-time evolution of scalar fields in both Schwarzschild and Kerr spacetimes, including the black hole interior. We recover the expected late-time power-law "tails" on the exterior (null infinity, time-like infinity and the horizon). In the interior region, we find an interesting oscillatory behavior that is characterized by the multipole index of the scalar field. In addition, we also study the extremal Kerr case and find strong indications of an instability developing at the horizon.
