Quasinormal modes for the scattering on a naked Reissner-Nordstrom
singularity
   [PDF]

Cecilia Chirenti, Alberto Saa, Jozef Skakala
What should be the quasinormal modes associated with a spacetime that contains a naked singularity instead of a black hole? In the present work we address this problem by studying the scattering of scalar fields on a curved background described by a Reissner-Nordstr\"om spacetime with $q > m$. We show that there is a qualitative difference between cases with $1 < q^2/m^2 \lesssim 9/8$ and cases with $q^2/m^2 \gtrsim 9/8$. We discuss the necessary conditions for the well-posedness of the problem, and present results for the low $l$ and large $l$ limit.
