Abstract/Contents

Abstract: In the study of black holes, there exists a remarkable set of theorems known as no-hair theorems. These theorems state that under certain general conditions, black holes can be described completely by just three parameters: their mass, charge, and angular momentum. In particular, when an electric charge falls into a black hole, if the photon is massive, the profile of the electric field outside of the black hole rapidly approaches the source-free limit, so that one cannot know the fate of the charge at late times. Here, we consider black hole discharge for a massive vector field. We postulate the discharge rate for charged black holes in massive electrodynamics and numerically confirm the rate of discharge in the limit of small photon mass.
