Abstract

In this paper we consider quasi-normal modes of test scalar and electromagnetic fields in the background of a non-Schwarzschild black hole in the Einstein–Weyl gravity. We find the dependence of the modes on the new parameter p, which is related to the coupling constant alpha , for different values of the angular parameter l and show that when l is increasing, the frequencies tend to linear dependence on p. We have also examined the case of a massive scalar field for which we have shown that the arbitrarily long lived modes (called quasi-resonances) exist in the spectrum.

Highlights

  • As is known, the general theory of relativity leaves open some fundamental questions, such as: the singularity problem, construction of non-contradictory quantum gravity, the problems of dark matter and dark energy

  • If no other matter fields are included for four-dimensional space-time D = 4, the most general theory up the second order in curvature is described by the following Lagrangian: L

  • In this paper we investigate the quasinormal spectrum of a scalar and a electromagnetic test fields and find the analytic expressions for the quas-normal modes for different values of the multipole number l

Summary

Introduction

The general theory of relativity leaves open some fundamental questions, such as: the singularity problem, construction of non-contradictory quantum gravity, the problems of dark matter and dark energy. Perturbations of black holes in theories with higher curvature corrections have been recently studied in a number of papers when considering higher dimensional black holes in the context of gauge/gravity duality and higher dimensional gravity [12,13,14,15,16,17,18], in the four-dimensional Einstein-dilaton– Gauss–Bonnet theory [19,20,21], in the Chern–Simons gravity [22] and in the quadratic gravity [4,23,24,25] None of the these alternative theories of gravity is discarded by the LIGO and VIRGO observations because of the above mentioned uncertainty in measured mass and angular momentum. We have shown the existence of a quasi-resonance for the massive scalar field in the background of the non-Schwarzschild solution in the quadratic gravity.
