Bargmann-Wigner Formulation and Superradiance Problem of Bosons and Fermions in Kerr Space-time

Abstract

The superradiance phenomena of massive bosons and fermions in the Kerr spacetime are studied in the Bargmann-Wigner formulation. In case of bi-spinor, the four independent components spinors correspond to the four bosonic freedom: one scalar and three vectors uniquely. The consistent description of the Bargmann-Wigner equations between fermions and bosons shows that the superradiance of the type with positive energy $(0<\omega)$ and negative momentum near horizon $(p_{\rm H}<0)$ is shown not to occur. On the other hand, the superradiance of the type with negative energy $(\omega<0)$ and positive momentum near horizon $(0<p_{\rm H})$ is still possible for both scalar bosons and spinor fermions.
