Scalar field quasinormal modes of noncommutative high dimensional Schwarzschild-Tangherlini black hole spacetime with smeared matter sources

Abstract: We investigate the massless scalar quasinormal modes (QNMs) of the noncommutative $D$-dimensional Schwarzschild-Tangherlini black hole spacetime in this paper. By using the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) approximation method, the asymptotic iterative method (AIM) and the inverted potential method (IPM) method, we made a detail analysis of the massless scalar QNM frequencies by varying the general smeared matter distribution and the allowable characteristic parameters ($k$ and $\theta$) corresponding to different dimensions. It is found that the nonconvergence of the high order WKB approximation exists in the QNMs frequencies of scalar perturbation around the noncommutative $D$-dimensional Schwarzschild black holes. We conclude that the 3rd WKB result should be more reliable than those of the high order WKB method since our numerical results are also verified by the AIM method and the IPM method. In the dimensional range of $4\leq D \leq7$, the scalar QNMs as a function of the different papameters (the noncommutative parameter $\theta$, the smeared matter distribution parameter $k$, the multipole number $l$ and the main node number $n$) are obtained. Moreover, we study the dynamical evolution of a scalar field in the background of the noncommutative high dimensional Schwarzschild-Tangherlini black hole.
