Abstract

We use the Fock–Ivanenko formalism to obtain the Dirac equation which describes the interaction of a massless 1/2-spin neutral fermion with a gravitational field around a Schwarzschild black hole (BH). We obtain approximated analytical solutions for the eigenvalues of the energy (quasi-normal frequencies) and their corresponding eigenstates (quasi-normal states). The interesting result is that all the asymptotic states [and their supersymmetric (SUSY) partners] have a purely imaginary frequency, which can be expressed in terms of the Hawking temperature T H: \(E^{(\uparrow\downarrow)}_{n}=-2\pi i n T_{\mathrm{H}}\). Furthermore, as one expects for SUSY Hamiltonians, the isolated bottom state has a real null energy eigenvalue.
