Quasi-normal modes and stability of Einstein–Born–Infeld black holes in de Sitter space
Abstract We study gravitational perturbations of electrically charged black holes in (3+1)-dimensional Einstein–Born–Infeld gravity with a positive cosmological constant. For the axial perturbations, we obtain a set of decoupled Schrödinger-type equations, whose formal expressions, in terms of metri...
