One-loop determinant in the extremal black hole from quasinormal modes
摘要
In this paper, we evaluate the one-loop partition function of a scalar field in the near-horizon geometry of the extremal Reissner Nordström black hole from an infinite product over quasinormal modes using the Denef-Hartnoll-Sachdev (DHS) formula. We show that the logarithmic divergent term of the one-loop partition function computed using the DHS formula agrees with the heat kernel method. Using the same formula, we also evaluate the one-loop partition function of a scalar field in the near-extremal Kerr-Newman black hole and observe that it reduces to the same in the near-horizon AdS2 × S2 geometry of the extremal Reissner Nordström black hole when the angular velocity at the horizon is tuned to 2πTBH value. We observe that, for higher spin fields, the mode functions are not smooth at the horizon for certain quasinormal frequencies; therefore, we remove them to obtain the one-loop determinant.
