Abstract

We investigate superradiant scattering off a rotating regular black hole described by a black-bounce metric which generalizes the Kerr spacetime of mass M and specific angular momentum a through a regularization parameter p and two deformation exponents (k,n). Focusing on massless (ℓ,m)=(1,1) scalar modes, we explore the parameter space and compute amplification factors by numerically integrating the separated radial Klein–Gordon equation. We track the peak amplification and the corresponding frequency across the (a/M,p/M) parameter space for several combinations of k and n. We find that increasing n systematically enhances superradiance, whereas increasing k tends to suppress it. In particular, certain configurations can lead to amplification factors that significantly exceed the maximum amplification found for standard Kerr black holes.
