“Quasinormal Modes of Nonsingular Black Holes with Holonomy Corrections”
arXiv:2404.04447v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We calculate the quasinormal modes of a nonsingular spherically symmetric black hole effective model with holonomy corrections. The model is based on quantum corrections inspired by loop quantum gravity. It is covariant and results in a spacetime that is regular everywhere with a parameter-dependent black bounce.
Perturbations of these black holes due to massless scalar and electromagnetic fields have been previously calculated and some intriguing results were observed. For some modes, the frequency versus minimum-radius parameter trajectories were found to spiral and self-intersect in the complex plane. In addition, the spectrum of overtones has real frequencies that oscillate with increasing overtone number, and may even vanishing for some overtones.
We have calculated the quasinormal modes for all massless spin perturbations, including spin-1/2, and axial- and polar-gravitational. We find that the trajectory-spirals are restricted to scalar perturbations and observe some interesting overtone behaviour for gravitational perturbations. The amount of isospectrality violation in the gravitational quasinormal mode spectra is also examined.
Conclusions
The authors of the article have calculated the quasinormal modes of a nonsingular spherically symmetric black hole effective model with holonomy corrections. They have found some intriguing results for the perturbations of these black holes, including spiral and self-intersecting trajectories in the complex plane for some modes, oscillating frequencies for overtones, and isospectrality violation in the gravitational quasinormal mode spectra.
Future Roadmap
Challenges
- Further investigation is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms that lead to the observed trajectory-spirals and self-intersections in the complex plane. This may involve exploring the role of quantum corrections inspired by loop quantum gravity in shaping the behavior of the quasinormal modes.
- Understanding the physical implications and significance of the oscillating frequencies for overtones is another challenge that requires careful analysis. It is important to determine whether this behavior is a generic feature of the model or specific to certain perturbations.
- The examination of isospectrality violation in the gravitational quasinormal mode spectra requires more in-depth study. It is crucial to understand the implications of this violation and its potential consequences for black hole physics.
Opportunities
- The observed trajectory-spirals and self-intersections in the complex plane for scalar perturbations open up new avenues for research. Investigating the implications of these unique features can provide insights into the behavior of black holes with holonomy corrections.
- The oscillating frequencies for overtones present an opportunity to better understand the nature of these black holes and their response to perturbations. Exploring the connection between overtone behavior and the model parameters can shed light on the underlying physics.
- Studying the isospectrality violation in the gravitational quasinormal mode spectra can provide valuable information about the limits and constraints of the model. This violation may indicate deviations from conventional black hole behavior and could potentially lead to new theoretical frameworks.
