We consider a massless quantum scalar field on a two-dimensional space-time describing a thin shell of matter collapsing to form a Schwarzschild-anti-de Sitter black hole. At early times, before the shell starts to collapse, the quantum…
We consider quantum real massive scalar field in the de Sitter-Schwarzschild space-time backround. To have an analytic head way we study in detail the two-dimensional case, assuming that the situation in four dimensions will not be much…
We study a massless scalar field propagating in the background of a five-dimensional rotating black hole. We showed that in the Myers-Perry metric describing such a black hole the massless field equation allows the separation of variables.…

This thesis presents recent studies on test scalar and vector fields around black holes. It is separated in two parts according to the asymptotic properties of the spacetime under study. In the first part, we investigate scalar and Proca…
We study the stress-energy tensor of a massless, conformally coupled, quantum scalar field in a rigidly-rotating thermal state on three- and four-dimensional anti-de Sitter space-time. We first find the stress-energy tensor using…
We investigate the decay of a scalar field outside a Schwarzschild anti de Sitter black hole. This is determined by computing the complex frequencies associated with quasinormal modes. There are qualitative differences from the…
In asymptotically flat space a rotating black hole cannot be in thermodynamic equilibrium because the thermal radiation would have to be co-rotating faster than light far from the black hole. However in asymptotically anti-de Sitter space…
We study the spontaneous scalarization of spherically symmetric, static and asymptotically Anti-de Sitter (aAdS) black holes in a scalar-tensor gravity model with non-mininal coupling of the form $\phi^2\left(\alpha{\cal R} + \gamma {\cal…
We consider a five-dimensional constant curvature black hole, which is constructed by identifying some points along a Killing vector in a five-dimensional AdS space. The black hole has the topology M_4 times S^1, its exterior is…
The behavior of a quantum scalar field is studied in the metric ground state of the (2+1)-dimensional black hole of Ba\~nados, Teitelboim and Zanelli which contains a naked singularity. The one-loop BTZ partition function and the associate…
In four dimensional general relativity, the fact that a Killing vector in a vacuum spacetime serves as a vector potential for a test Maxwell field provides one with an elegant way of describing the behaviour of electromagnetic fields near a…
Analytic approximations for the stress-energy of quantized fields in the Hartle-Hawking state in static black hole spacetimes predict divergences on the event horizon of the black hole for a number of important cases. Such divergences, if…
The pure quadratic term of New Massive Gravity in three dimensions admits asymptotically locally flat, rotating black holes. These black holes are characterized by their mass and angular momentum, as well as by a hair of gravitational…
We continue our work on the study of spherically symmetric loop quantum gravity coupled to two spherically symmetric scalar fields, one that acts as a clock. As a consequence of the presence of the latter, we can define a true Hamiltonian…
