Abstract:In this paper, we consider a charged black hole in three dimensions with a scalar charge and discuss energy loss of a heavy particle moving near the black hole horizon. This analysis is useful when anti-de Sitter space – conformal field theory correspondence is applied. We find that an electric charge of a black hole increases the drag force but a scalar charge decreases it.
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.
