Abstract

We investigate the late-time behavior of the massive vector field in the background of the Schwarzschild and Schwarzschild-de Sitter black holes. For Schwarzschild black hole, at intermediately late times the massive vector field is represented by three functions with different decay law Ψ0t(+3/2)sinmt\Psi_{0} \sim t^{-(\ell + 3/2)} \sin{m t}, Ψ1t(+5/2)sinmt\Psi_{1} \sim t^{-(\ell + 5/2)} \sin{m t}, Ψ2t(+1/2)sinmt\Psi_{2} \sim t^{-(\ell + 1/2)} \sin{m t}, while at asymptotically late times the decay law Ψt5/6sin(mt)\Psi \sim t^{-5/6} \sin{(m t)} is universal, and does not depend on the multipole number \ell. Together with previous study of massive scalar and Dirac fields where the same asymptotically late-time decay law was found, it means, that the asymptotically late-time decay law t5/6sin(mt)\sim t^{-5/6} \sin{(m t)} \emph{does not depend} also \emph{on the spin} of the field under consideration. For Schwarzschild-de Sitter black holes it is observed two different regimes in the late-time decay of perturbations: non-oscillatory exponential damping for small values of mm and oscillatory quasinormal mode decay for high enough mm. Numerical and analytical results are found for these quasinormal frequencies.
