Superradiance and Quasinormal Modes of Massive Scalar Fields around Kerr Black Holes in Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton-Axion Theory with Perfect Fluid Dark Matter

Published 15 Aug 2025 in gr-qc | (2508.18282v1)

Abstract: We investigate the dynamics of massive scalar fields around Kerr black holes in the Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton-Axion (EMDA) theory, incorporating the effects of perfect fluid dark matter (PFDM), characterized by the dilaton parameter $r_2$ and the PFDM parameter $\lambda$. These parameters modify both the ergosphere and the effective potential experienced by the scalar field. Using the asymptotic matching method, we compute superradiant amplification factors, while quasinormal mode (QNM) frequencies are obtained via the asymptotic iteration method (AIM). Our results reveal contrasting effects: increasing $r_2$ enhances superradiance and leads to higher QNM frequencies with greater damping, whereas increasing $\lambda$ suppresses superradiance and reduces QNM frequencies with weaker damping. In combined scenarios, the influence of $\lambda$ is found to be dominant. These findings extend the understanding of Kerr black holes in EMDA backgrounds and highlight the stabilizing role of PFDM in such systems.

Summary

  • The paper presents superradiance analysis using asymptotic matching, showing enhanced energy extraction with increased spin and dilaton parameters.
  • It applies the asymptotic iteration method to compute QNMs, detailing shifts in frequency and damping due to EMDA and PFDM effects.
  • The research reveals that while PFDM suppresses superradiance, dilaton effects boost energy extraction, confirming theoretical predictions.

Superradiance and Quasinormal Modes of Massive Scalar Fields around Kerr Black Holes in Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton-Axion Theory with Perfect Fluid Dark Matter

Introduction

The paper examines the dynamics of massive scalar fields in the vicinity of Kerr black holes under the framework of Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton-Axion (EMDA) theory with the incorporation of Perfect Fluid Dark Matter (PFDM). Key parameters, including the dilaton parameter r2r_2 and pfDM parameter λ\lambda, critically influence the black hole's ergosphere and the effective potential experienced by the scalar field. This exploration employs the asymptotic matching method to derive superradiance amplification factors and uses the asymptotic iteration method (AIM) for determining quasinormal modes (QNMs).

EMDA Theory with PFDM

The EMDA theory integrates gravity, electromagnetism, dilaton φ\varphi, and axion χ\chi, with the distinctive feature of coupling between these elements as detailed in the Lagrangian density:

$\mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{EMDA} = -2\, g^{\mu\nu} \partial_\mu \varphi\, \partial_\nu \varphi - \frac{1}{2} e^{4\varphi} g^{\mu\nu} \partial_\mu \chi\, \partial_\nu \chi - e^{-2\varphi} F_{\mu\nu} F^{\mu\nu} - \chi\, F_{\mu\nu} \tilde{F}^{\mu\nu}.$

For axisymmetric spacetime, the Newman-Janis algorithm is utilized to derive configurations extending the spherical EMDA solutions into rotating black holes, contributing to the Kerr-Sen metric. The presence of PFDM further alters the stress-energy tensor, represented primarily by λ\lambda contributing to gravitational backreaction.

Dynamics of Scalar Fields

Massive scalar fields propagate via the Klein-Gordon equation. Incorporating separability, the equation yields form separations for angular and radial components, revealing dynamics sensitive to variations in r2r_2 and λ\lambda.

Superradiance Analysis

The paper ingeniously applies the asymptotic matching method, focusing on the near-horizon and far-region scenarios to ascertain the superradiance amplification factor, ZlmZ_{lm}. Results show an increase in ZlmZ_{lm} with enhanced spin aa and dilaton parameter r2r_2, but a notable suppression with increased PFDM parameter λ\lambda. Figure 1

Energy extraction is further quantitatively analyzed, demonstrating proportional dependency on the spacetime configuration parameters, aligning with the suppression and enhancement trends observed in ZlmZ_{lm}.

Superradiant Instability and Quasi-Bound States

The addition of a PFDM term modifies potential wells, thereby impacting superradiant instabilities primarily through the alteration of the effective potential. Analytical developments extend current spectra calculations to incorporate effective mass shifts MeffM_{eff} due to the dilaton, confirming previously known spectra within boundary conditions for trapping modes.

Quasinormal Modes (QNMs) Implementation

Emphasizing computational methods, the AIM intricately maps the radial equation onto a form suitable for iterative resolution, facilitating spectral analysis. This research confirms the significant role of EMDA theory and PFDM in modifying QNM frequencies with distinct signature effects from r2r_2 and λ\lambda. Figure 3

Conclusion

The study provides critical insights into the contrasting effects of EMDA theory and PFDM on the dynamical instability and energy extraction processes of black holes. The entries into computational modeling, such as AIM and the underlying theoretical analysis, offer substantial contributions to current understanding, enabling refined predictions and potential observational matches to explore dark matter effects in astrological phenomena. Further explorations into full gravitational perturbations and time-dependent simulations are recommended to bridge observational gaps.
