On the effect of scalar fields on Hawking radiation and quasinormal modes of black holes

Abstract

The present thesis attempts to study the effect of scalar fields on Hawking radiation and quasinormal modes of black holes. We selected a static, spherically symmetric electrically charged black hole with an additional scalar 'hair' for our analysis. The scalar 'hair' is sourced by a scalar field, conformally coupled to the Einstein-Hilbert action. The scalar field can survive even in the absence of the black hole's electric charge and is characterized as a 'primary hair'. This scalar field changes the gravitational constant, and hence modifies the ADM (Arnowitt-Deser-Missner) mass of the black hole. The scalar field's strength is determined by a scalar 'charge' that manifests itself as an additive correction to the square of the electric charge in the standard Reissner-Nordström metric. This seemingly simple modification leads to nontrivial physical implications.
