Spherical black hole perturbations in EFT of scalar-tensor gravity with timelike scalar profile
read the original abstract
We study linear even-parity perturbations of static and spherically symmetric black holes with a timelike scalar profile by use of the effective field theory (EFT) approach. For illustrative purposes, we consider a simple subclass of the EFT that accommodates ghost condensate, namely the k-essence model along with the so-called scordatura term, and focus on the spherical (monopole) perturbations about an approximately stealth Schwarzschild solution. The scordatura effect is introduced to avoid the strong coupling problem that typically happens in the scalar sector around stealth solutions with a timelike scalar profile. We argue that the scalar perturbation is decoupled from the metric perturbations at the leading order in the scordatura effect under a particular gauge choice. We stress that this is an important step in understanding the dynamics of even-parity perturbations, paving the way towards deriving a set of master equations -- the generalized Zerilli and the scalar-field equations -- for generic multipoles.
