We study the spectrum of quasinormal mode frequencies for a Proca field on a rotating black hole spacetime. First, we review how the introduction of field mass modifies the spectrum in the scalar-field case, leading to evanescent modes and…

We unify the dynamics of massive vector (Proca) fields in Schwarzschild spacetime with supersymmetric gauge theories through the Seiberg-Witten/quasinormal mode (SW/QNM) duality. By mapping Proca perturbations-specifically monopole and…

We consider Proca field perturbations in a five-dimensional Schwarzschild-anti-de Sitter (Schwarzschild-AdS$_{5}$) black hole geometry. Using the vector spherical harmonic (VSH) method, we show that the Proca field decomposes into…

We consider the perturbations of the massive vector field around Schwarzschild black hole, (generally, with non-vanishing $\Lambda$ - term). The monopole massive vector perturbation equations can be reduced to a single wave-like equation.…

We discuss a new perturbation method to study the dynamics of massive vector fields on (near-)extremal static black hole spacetimes. We start with, as our background, a rather generic class of warped product metrics, and classify the field…
