Black holes in massive gravity: Quasinormal modes of Dirac field perturbations

Abstract

We have studied quasinormal modes (QNMs) of spinor-[Formula: see text], massless Dirac field perturbations of a black hole in massive gravity. The parameters of the theory, such as the mass of the black hole, the scalar charge of the black hole, mode number and the multipole number are varied to observe how the corresponding quasinormal frequencies change. We have also used the Pöschl–Teller approximation to reach analytical values for the frequencies of quasinormal modes for comparison with the numerically obtained values. Comparisons are done with the frequencies of the Schwarzschild black hole.
