Scalar, electromagnetic, and Dirac perturbations of regular black holes constituting primordial dark matter
Abstract
Abstract We study massless scalar, electromagnetic, and Dirac perturbations of the exact asymptotically flat regular black hole supported by a phantom Dirac-Born-Infeld scalar. Using the Padé-improved WKB method, with a time-domain Prony check for the scalar fundamental mode, we compute representative quasinormal frequencies and find that larger regularity shifts the spectrum toward smaller oscillation frequencies and damping rates, whereas the quality factor changes only weakly. The spectral shifts remain well above the estimated numerical uncertainty, demonstrating that the DBI regularity scale leaves a robust spin-dependent imprint on ringdown.
