Quasinormal frequencies of asymptotically flat two-dimensional black holes

TL;DR

This paper investigates the existence and properties of quasinormal modes for massless Klein-Gordon and Dirac fields in two-dimensional asymptotically flat black holes, providing exact calculations for specific cases.

Contribution

It offers the first detailed analysis of quasinormal modes for these fields in 2D black holes and computes exact frequencies for the Witten black hole.

Findings

Massless fields have well-defined quasinormal modes in these black holes.

Exact quasinormal frequencies are obtained for the Dirac field in the Witten black hole.

Comparison with previous results confirms the validity of the findings.

Abstract

We discuss whether the minimally coupled massless Klein-Gordon and Dirac fields have well defined quasinormal modes in single horizon, asymptotically flat two-dimensional black holes. To get the result we solve the equations of motion in the massless limit and we also calculate the effective potentials of Schrodinger type equations. Furthermore we calculate exactly the quasinormal frequencies of the Dirac field propagating in the two-dimensional uncharged Witten black hole. We compare our results on its quasinormal frequencies with other already published.
