Quasinormal ringing of black holes in Einstein aether theory

Understand

The gravitational consequence of local Lorentz violation (LV) should show itself in derivation of the characteristic quasinormal ringing of black hole mergers from their general relativity case.

• In this paper, we study quasinormal modes (QNMs) of the scalar and electromagnetic field perturbations to Einstein aether black holes.
• We find that quasinormal ringing of the first kind aether black hole is similar to that of another Lorentz violation model---the QED-extension limit of standard model extension.
• These similarities between completely different backgrounds may imply that LV in gravity sector and LV in matter sector have some connections between themself: damping quasinormal ringing of black holes more rapidly and prolonging its oscillation period.
