In this study, we investigate the pseudospectrum and spectrum (in)stability
of a quantum corrected black hole. Methodologically, we use the hyperboloidal
framework to cast the QNM problem into an eigenvalue problem associated with a
non-selfadjoint operator, and exploit the invariant subspace method to improve
the computational efficiency for pseudospectrum. The investigation of the
spectrum (in)stability have two aspects. On the one hand, we calculate the
spectra of the quantum corrected black hole, then the impact of the quantum
correction effect on the Schwarzschild black hole has been studied through
migration ratios. The results indicate that the so-called “migration ratio
instability” will occur for small black holes with small angular momentum
number l. In the eikonal limit, the migration ratios remain the same for each
overtone. On the other hand, we study the spectrum (in)stability of the quantum
corrected black hole by directly adding some particular perturbations into the
effective potential, where perturbations are located at the event horizon and
null infinity, respectively. There are two interesting observations under the
same perturbation energy norm. First, perturbations at infinity are more
capable of generating spectrum instability than those at the event horizon.
Second, we find that the peak distribution can lead to the instability of QNM
spectrum more efficiently than the average distribution.
In this study, the authors investigate the pseudospectrum and spectrum instability of a quantum corrected black hole. They use the hyperboloidal framework and the invariant subspace method to analyze the problem. The investigation of the spectrum instability has two aspects.
First Aspect: Quantum Correction Effect
The authors calculate the spectra of the quantum corrected black hole and study the impact of the quantum correction effect on the Schwarzschild black hole through migration ratios. The results show that “migration ratio instability” occurs for small black holes with small angular momentum. In the eikonal limit, the migration ratios remain the same for each overtone.
Second Aspect: Perturbations
The authors study the spectrum instability of the quantum corrected black hole by adding particular perturbations into the effective potential. These perturbations are located at the event horizon and null infinity. Two interesting observations are made:
- Perturbations at infinity are more capable of generating spectrum instability compared to those at the event horizon.
- The peak distribution of perturbations can lead to the instability of QNM spectrum more efficiently than the average distribution.
