Electromagnetic radiation from circular orbits in Schwarzschild--de Sitter spacetime

João P. B. Brito, Rafael P. Bernar, Luís C. B. Crispino

We investigate the electromagnetic radiation emitted by a charged particle orbiting a four-dimensional Schwarzschild--de Sitter black hole using a semiclassical approach. We calcul…

Relativistic tidal divergences in circular orbits and the dynamics of light rings

Victor F. C. Vieira, Rafael P. Bernar, Caio F. B. Macedo

Tidal forces acting on orbiting bodies arise from inhomogeneities in the gravitational field, generating stresses that can deform or even disrupt these objects. In this work, we an…

Nonminimally coupled scalar field in Schwarzschild--de Sitter spacetime: Geodesic synchrotron radiation

João P. B. Brito, Rafael P. Bernar, Luís C. B. Crispino

We analyze the scalar radiation emitted by a source interacting with a nonminimally coupled scalar field in four-dimensional Schwarzschild--de Sitter spacetime. We obtain the emiss…

Semiclassical bremsstrahlung from a charge radially falling into a Schwarzschild black hole

João P. B. Brito, Rafael P. Bernar, Atsushi Higuchi +1

A semiclassical investigation of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by a charged particle in a radially freely falling motion in Schwarzschild spacetime is carried out. We use q…

Superradiance and quantum states on black hole space-times

Visakan Balakumar, Rafael Bernar, Elizabeth Winstanley

We consider the definition of the Boulware and Hartle-Hawking states for quantum fields on black hole space-times. The properties of these states on a Schwarzschild black hole have…

Quantization of a charged scalar field on a charged black hole background

Visakan Balakumar, Rafael P. Bernar, Elizabeth Winstanley

We study the canonical quantization of a massless charged scalar field on a Reissner-Nordstrom black hole background. Our aim is to construct analogues of the standard Boulware, Un…

Radiation emitted by a source orbiting a Schwarzschild--anti--de Sitter black hole

J. P. B. Brito, R. P. Bernar, L. C. B. Crispino

We study the scalar radiation emitted by a source orbiting a Schwarzschild--anti--de Sitter black hole in circular geodesics. We obtain the emitted power using quantum field theory…

Quantum superradiance on static black hole space-times

Visakan Balakumar, Rafael P. Bernar, Luis C. B. Crispino +1

We study the quantum analogue of the classical process of superradiance for a massless charged scalar field on a static charged black hole space-time. We show that an "in" vacuum s…

Infrared-finite graviton two-point function in static de Sitter space

Rafael P. Bernar, Luís C. B. Crispino, Atsushi Higuchi

We study quantum gravitational perturbations in the static patch of de Sitter space. In particular, we determine the symplectic inner product of these perturbations and use it to w…
