Massless Scalar Field around BH • Klein-Gordon product From the field equation the KG product defined by is independent of the choice of the Cauchy surface in DOC. • Scattering problem No incoming wave from the black hole
• Asymptotic behaviour – At infinity – At horizon where *= – m h , .
Superradiance • Flux conservation • Superradiance condition This condition is equivalent to Cf. Penrose process in the ergo region [Penrose 1969]
Black Hole Bombs • Black hole in a mirror box [Zel’dovich 1971; Press, Teukolsky 1972; Cardoso, Dias, Lemos, Yoshida 2004] • Massive bosonic fields around a black hole [Damour, Deruelle, Ruffini 1976; ] For light axions around an astrophysical black hole, an instability occurs. Its growth rate is [Zouros, Eardley 1979; Detweiler 1980] Numerical calculations show that the maximum instability is : [Furuhashi, Nambu 2004; Dolan 2007], Here note that Cf. Ad.

Axionic Instability of BHs • Due to the superradiance instability, black holes with a specific mass lose angular momentum resonantly.
Axionic Siren • If the angular-momentum supply by accretion is rapid enough, the system becomes a strong source of GW above the LISA bound as well as radiation if there exist strong magnetic fields. Here ² appears due to the GW emission loss and is of order 10 -7.
