Abstract

We investigate the influence of vacuum polarization of quantum massive fields on the scalar sector of quasinormal modes in spherically symmetric black holes. We consider the evolution of a massless scalar field on the spacetime corresponding to a charged semiclassical black hole, consisting of the quantum corrected geometry of a Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole dressed by a quantum massive scalar field in the large mass limit. Using a sixth order WKB approach we find the shift in the quasinormal mode frequencies due to vacuum polarization .
