Dynamical evolution of electromagnetic perturbation in the background of a scalar hairy black hole in Horndeski theory

Abstract

We have investigated dynamical evolution of electromagnetic perturbation in a scalar hairy black hole spacetime, which belongs to solutions in Horndeski theory with a logarithmic cubic term. Our results show that the parameter $\alpha$ affects the existence of event horizon and modifies the asymptotical structure of spacetime at spatial infinity, which imprints on the quasinormal frequency of electromagnetic perturbation. Moreover, we find that the late-time tail of electromagnetic perturbation in this background depends also on the parameter $\alpha$ due to the existence of solid angle deficit. The presence of the parameter $\alpha$ makes the perturbation field decay more rapidly. These imply that the spacetime properties arising from the logarithmic cubic term in the action play important roles in the dynamical evolutions of the electromagnetic perturbation in the background of a scalar hairy black hole.
