Abstract

In this work we determine, using Quantum Field Theory in tree level, the scalar radiation emitted by a source in uniform circular motion in Minkowski spacetime, assuming Newtonian gravitation, and in the curved spacetime of a chargeless black hole with null angular momentum, assuming General Relativity. We perform this calculation analitically for the case of Minkowski spacetime and numerically for Schwarzschild spacetime. In the black hole case we obtain the analytic form and the normalization of the modes in the asymptotic regions. We verify, for stable circular orbits acording to general relativity, that the emitted power in Schwarzschild spacetime is lower than the one obtained in Minkowski spacetime assuming Newtonian gravitation. We obtain that only a little amount of the emitted radiation is absorbed by black hole. We also verify that the difference between the emitted powers in Schwarzschild and Minkowski cases decreases if the mass of ¯eld is increased. In Schwarzschild spacetime, the amount of radiation absorbed by the black hole increases for higher values of the mass of the scalar field.
