Quasi-bound states and late-time evolution of a massive fermion around a Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black hole

A massive fermion around a charged black hole provides a gravitational analogue of atomic bound states and their relaxation. In this work, we study this system by formulating the radial equation as a coupled matrix system and constructing the Green's function with ingoing boundary conditions at the horizon and decaying boundary conditions at infinity. In the weak-coupling scenario $|qQ|\sim mM<1$, a matrix matching scheme gives an improved analytic expression of quasi-bound-state spectrum, including fine-structure corrections and more accurate decay widths. The extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m case ($|Q|=M$) is treated separately and shown to be the smooth limiting result of the non-extremal spectrum. We further analyze the branch-cut contribution to the time-domain Green's function in the late-time limit. We confirm an oscillatory power-law behavior in intermediate late-time regime $1/m < t < 1/m^3M^2$. In the far late-time regime $t>1/m^3M^2$, the activation of the quasi-bound states produces an $t^{-5/6}\exp(-\eta t^{1/3})$ suppression with a chirping phase before the asymptotic $t^{-5/6}$ tail previously found in the limit $t\to\infty$. Direct time-domain simulations support this distinction and show how the quasi-bound contribution coexists with the familiar power-law component.

Revisiting the fermionic quasi-bound states around Schwarzschild black holes with improved analytic spectrum

Black holes have long served as a testing ground for probing theories of gravity and quantum mechanics. Notably, fundamental fields in the neighborhood of black holes exhibit rich phenomena that could yield astrophysical observable signatures. However, exploring these structures typically requires computationally intensive numerical calculations. In this work, the dynamics of a massive Dirac field outside a Schwarzschild black hole is revisited. We propose a novel matching scheme that enables the analytical solution of the coupled first-order Dirac equation, as opposed to the conventional second-order approach. This method yields a compact and unified analytical expression for the energy spectrum, which shows improved agreement with numerical results. The improvement is due to high-order correction of angular parameter that has been ignored previously.
