Massive bosonic fields in the background of a Kerr black hole can either trigger superradiant instabilities (black-hole bombs) or form equilibrium configurations corresponding to pure bound states, known as stationary scalar clouds. Here,…

The Klein-Gordon equation in the Rindler space-time is studied carefully. It is shown that the stable properties depend on using what time coordinate to define the initial time. If we use the Rindler time, the scalar field is stable.…
