Following the Regge-Wheeler algorithm, we derive a radial equation for the brane-localized graviton absorbed/emitted by the (4 + n)-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole. Making use of this equation the absorption and emission spectra of the brane-localized graviton are computed numerically.Existence of the extra dimensions generally suppresses the absorption rate and enhances the emission rate as other spin cases. The appearance of the potential well, however, when n > ℓ(ℓ + 1) − 2 − 1 in the effective potential makes the decreasing behavior of the total absorption with increasing n in the low-energy regime. The high-energy limit of the total absorption cross section seems to coincide with that of the brane-localized scalar cross section.The increasing rate of the graviton emission is very large compared to those of other brane-localized fields. This fact indicates that the graviton emission can be dominant one in the Hawking radiation of the higher-dimensional black holes when n is large.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
