Linear instability of charged massless scalar perturbation in regularized 4D charged Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet anti de-Sitter black holes *

We study the linear instability of the charged massless scalar perturbation in regularized 4D charged Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet-AdS black holes by exploring their quasinormal modes. We find that the linear instability is triggered by superradiance. The charged massless scalar perturbation becomes more unstable with increasing Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant or black hole charge. Decreasing the AdS radius, on the other hand, will make the charged massless scalar perturbation more stable. The stable region in parameter space (alpha, Q, ?) is given. Moreover, we find that the charged massless scalar perturbation is more unstable for larger scalar charge. The modes of multipoles are more stable than that of the monopole.

Automated summary

The linear instability of charged massless scalar perturbation in regularized 4D charged Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet-AdS black holes is studied by investigating their quasinormal modes. It is found that the instability is triggered by superradiance and becomes more pronounced with increasing Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant or black hole charge. Furthermore, decreasing the AdS radius leads to a more stable charged massless scalar perturbation.
