Abstract

We study the dynamical evolution of a scalar field coupling to Einstein's tensor in the background of Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black hole. Our results show that the the coupling constant η\eta imprints in the wave dynamics of a scalar perturbation. In the weak coupling, we find that with the increase of the coupling constant η\eta the real parts of the fundamental quasinormal frequencies decrease and the absolute values of imaginary parts increase for fixed charge qq and multipole number ll. In the strong coupling, we find that for l0l\neq0 the instability occurs when η\eta is larger than a certain threshold value ηc\eta_c which deceases with the multipole number ll and charge qq. However, for the lowest l=0l=0, we find that there does not exist such a threshold value and the scalar field always decays for arbitrary coupling constant.
