abstract
We study the stability of static black holes in Lovelock theory which is a natural higher dimensional generalization of Einstein theory. We show that Lovelock black holes are stable under vector perturbations in all dimensions. However, we prove that small Lovelock black holes are unstable under tensor perturbations in even-dimensions and under scalar perturbations in odd-dimensions. Therefore, we can conclude that small Lovelock black holes are unstable in any dimensions. The instability is stronger on small scales and hence catastrophic in the sense that there is no smooth descendant.

Positive tidal charge in this brane-world black hole lowers the effective potential barrier, pushes massive scalar quasinormal modes toward arbitrarily long lifetimes, and increases transmission and absorption.
Applies sixth-order WKB to compute grey-body factors for test fields on generalized Proca black holes with effective de Sitter scale, finding that scalar mass and couplings raise barriers, suppress low-frequency transmission, and affect thermodynamics.
Larger DBI regularity in this regular black hole model reduces quasinormal frequencies and damping rates for scalar, electromagnetic, and Dirac perturbations while the quality factor stays nearly constant, producing a robust spin-dependent ringdown signature.
Raising the regularity parameter in this regular black-hole spacetime lowers the single-barrier potentials for all three fields, shifts transmission to lower frequencies, increases absorption cross sections, and produces grey-body factors that agree with lowest-mode QNM reconstructions to roughly 10
Massive scalar quasinormal modes in this DBI-supported regular black hole show higher oscillation frequencies and lower damping as field mass increases, with larger regularity scales producing softer and longer-lived ringing.
