Confined scalar fields, either by a mass term or by a mirror-like boundary condition, have unstable modes in the background of a Kerr black hole. Assuming a time dependence as $e^{-i\omega t}$, the growth time-scale of these unstable modes…

For any cosmological constant $\Lambda=-3/\ell^2<0$ and any $\alpha<9/4$, we find a Kerr-AdS spacetime $(\mathcal M,g_{\mathrm{KAdS}})$, in which the Klein-Gordon equation $\Box_{g_{\mathrm{KAdS}}}\psi+\alpha/\ell^2\psi=0$ has an…

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.…
