Semiclassical Backreaction of Massive Quantum Fields in the Spacetime of a Global Monopole

We study the leading semiclassical backreaction of massive scalar, spinor, and vector fields in the spacetime of a pointlike global monopole. Starting from the renormalized stress-energy tensors obtained in the Schwinger--DeWitt approximation, we derive the first-order semiclassical geometry generated by a general conserved diagonal source and then specialize it to fields of spin $0$, $1/2$, and $1$. The locally fixed quantum source falls as $r^{-6}$ and induces metric corrections of order $r^{-4}$. The scalar field generically produces distinct temporal and radial metric functions, whereas the spinor and vector fields lead to one-function geometries. We analyze the resulting curvature correction, the acceleration of static observers, geodesic motion, and the validity domain of the first-order solution. The quantum backreaction produces a local deformation of the monopole exterior but does not modify its asymptotic solid-angle deficit.

Quantization of massive spinor fields around global monopoles

The renormalized quantum stress energy tensor $\left _{ren}$ for a massive spinor field around global monopoles is constructed within the framework of Schwinger-DeWitt approximation, valid whenever the Compton length of the quantum field is much less than the characteristic radius of the curvature of the background geometry. The results obtained shows that the quantum massive spinor field in the global monopole spacetime violates all the pointwise energy conditions.

Quantum stress tensor of massive vector field in the space-time of a pointlike global monopole

The components of the renormalized quantum stress tensor for a massive vector field in the spacetime of a pointlike global monopole are determined analytically in the Schwinger-DeWitt approximation. The general results are employed to investigate the pointwise energy conditions for the quantized matter field, and it is shown that they are all violated by the massive vector field.

Vacuum polarization of the quantized massive scalar field in the global monopole spacetime II: the renormalized quantum stress energy tensor

This paper is devoted to the construction of the renormalized quantum stress energy tensor $\left _{ren}$ for a massive scalar field with arbitrary coupling to the gravitational field of a pointlike global monopole, using the Schwinger-DeWitt approximation, up to second order in the inverse mass $μ$ of the field. The given stress energy tensor is constructed by functional differentiation with respect to the metric tensor of the one-loop effective action of sufficiently massive scalar field, such that the Compton length of the quantum field is much less than the characteristic radius of the curvature of the background geometry. The results are obtained for a general curvature coupling parameter $ξ$, and specified to the more physical cases of minimal and conformal coupling, showing that in this specific cases, the quantum massive scalar field in the global monopole spacetime violates all the pointwise energy conditions.

Vacuum polarization of the quantized massive scalar field in the global monopole spacetime I: the field fluctuation

We study the vacuum polarization of a massive scalar field $ϕ$ with arbitrary coupling to gravity in pointlike global monopole spacetime. Using Schwinger-DeWitt proper time formalism, we calculate the vacuum expectation value $<ϕ^{2}>$, when the Compton length of the quantum field is much less than the characteristic radius of the curvature of the background geometry, and we can ignore nonlocal contributions. Explicit analytic expressions are obtained for a general curvature coupling parameter, and specified to the more physical cases of minimal and conformal coupling. Comparing the leading term of $<ϕ^{2}>$, proportional to the coincident limit of the Hadamard-DeWitt coeficcient $a_{2}$, with higher order terms, that include the coincident limits of coefficients up to $a_{5}$, we conclude that the next to next to next to leading approximation need to be used to give a more precise description of vacuum polarization effects in this structures. We also find the trace of the renormalized stress energy tensor for the quantized field in the leading approximation, using the existing relationship between this magnitude, the trace anomaly and the field fluctuation.

Fermion perturbations in string-theory black holes II: the higher dimensional case

In this paper we report the results of a detailed investigation of the complete time evolution of massless fermion fields propagating in spacetimes of higher dimensional stringy black hole solutions, obtained from intersecting branes in string/$M$ theory. We write the Dirac equation in $D$-dimensional spacetime in a form suitable to perform a numerical integration of it, and using a Prony fitting of the time domain data, we determine the quasinormal frequencies that characterize the test field evolution at intermediary times. We also present the results obtained for the quasinormal frequencies using a sixth order WKB approximation, that are in perfect agreement with the numerical results. The power law exponents that describe the field relaxation at very late times are also determined, and we show that they depends upon the dimensionality of space-time, and are identical to that associated with the relaxation of boson fields for odd dimensions. The dependance of the frequencies and damping factor of the spinor field with the charges of the stringy black hole are studied.

Scalar field propagation in higher dimensional black holes at a Lifshitz point

We study the complete time evolution of scalar fields propagating in space-times of higher dimensional Lifshitz Black Holes with dynamical critical exponent $z=2$, obtained from a theory including the most general quadratic curvature corrections to Einstein-Hilbert gravity in $D$ dimensions. We also computed the quasinormal spectrum after performing a numerical integration and solving exactly the Klein-Gordon equation obeyed by the massive scalar field. We found that quasinormal modes are purely imaginary for all dimensions.

Object picture, quasinormal modes and late time tails of fermion perturbations in stringy black hole with U(1) charges

The aim of the present report is to study massless fermion perturbations outside five-dimensional stringy black holes with U(1) charges. The Dirac equation was numerically solved to obtain the time profiles for the evolving fermion fields, and the quasinormal frequencies at intermediate times are computed by numerical Prony fitting and semianalytical WKB expansion at sixth order. We also computed numerically the late-time power law decay factors, showing that there are in correspondence with previously reported results for the case of boson fields in higher dimensional odd space-times. The dependence of quasinormal frequencies with U(1) compactification charges are studied, and the stability of this class of higher dimensional black holes under fermion perturbations is established.

Fermion perturbations in string-theory black holes

In this paper we study fermion perturbations in four dimensional black holes of string theory, obtained either from a non-extreme configuration of three intersecting five-branes with a boost along the common string or from a non-extreme intersecting system of two two-branes and two five-branes. The Dirac equation for the massless neutrino field, after conformal re-scaling of the metric, is written as a wave equation suitable to study the time evolution of the perturbation. With the aid of Prony fitting of time-domain profile we calculate the complex frequencies that dominate the quasinormal ringing stage, and also determine this quantities by the semi-analytical sixth order WKB method. We also find numerically the decay factor of fermion fields at very late times, and show that the falloff is identical to those appeared for massless fields in other four dimensional black hole spacetimes.

Quantum stress tensor for massive vector field in the space-time of a cylindrical black hole

The components of the renormalized quantum Energy-Momentum tensor for a massive vector field coupled to the gravitational field configuration of a static Black-String are analytically evaluated using the Schwinger-DeWitt approximation. The general results are employed to investigate the pointwise energy conditions for the quantized matter field, and it is shown that they are violated at some regions of the spacetime, in particular the horizon of the black hole.

Gravitino perturbations in Schwarzschild black holes

We consider the time evolution of massless gravitino perturbations in Schwarzschild black holes, and show that as in the case of fields of other values of spin, the evolution comes in three stages, after an initial outburst as a first stage, we observe the damped oscillations characteristic of the quasinormal ringing stage, followed by long time tails. Using the sixth order WKB method and Prony fitting of time domain data we determine the quasinormal frequencies. There is a good correspondence between the results obtained by the above two methods, and we obtain a considerable improvement with respect to the previously obtained third order WKB results. We also show that the response of a black hole depends crucially on the spin class of the perturbing field: the quality factor becomes a decreasing function of the spin for boson perturbations, whereas the opposite situation appears for fermion ones.
