We consider the response of an Unruh-DeWitt detector near an extremal charged black hole, modeling the near-horizon region of this extremal spacetime by the Bertotti-Robinson spacetime. The advantage of employing the Bertotti-Robinson limit is that the two-point functions for a massless scalar field are obtainable in closed form for the field in a number of quantum states of interest. We consider the detector coupled to a massless field in both the Boulware vacuum state and arbitrary thermal states, including the Hartle-Hawking state, and analyse the detector's response for a broad range of trajectories. Particular attention is paid to the thermalization of the detector, the anti-Unruh and anti-Hawking effect.

    gr-qc 2025-11 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    Near a Schwarzschild horizon, a quadrupolar quasinormal ringdown is claimed to modulate the detector detailed-balance exponent by a decaying sinusoid at the QNM frequency, at first order in the perturbation amplitude.
