Abstract
We study the dynamics of test particle and stability of circular geodesics in the gravitational field of a non-commutative geometry-inspired Schwarzschild black hole spacetime. The coordinate time Lyapunov exponent (\(\lambda _{c}\)) is crucial to investigate the stability of equatorial circular geodesics of massive and massless test particles. The stability or instability of circular orbits is discussed by analyzing the variation of Lyapunov exponent with radius of these orbits for different values of non-commutative parameter (\(\alpha \)). In the case of null circular orbits, the instability exponent is calculated and presented to discuss the instability of null circular orbits. Further, by relating parameters corresponding to null circular geodesics (i.e., angular frequency and Lyapunov exponent), the quasinormal modes for a massless scalar field perturbation in the eikonal approximation are evaluated and also visualized by relating the real and imaginary parts. The nature of scalar field potential, by varying the non-commutative parameter (\(\alpha \)) and angular momentum of perturbation (l), is also observed and discussed.

1 Introduction
The most celebrated theory of gravity so-called the general relativity theory (GR) has many successful predictions including the fascinating black holes (BHs), which are obtained as unique solutions of Einstein’s field equations [1]. Among the various observational phenomenona detected before, the first BH image by Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) also confirms Einstein’s theory of GR, which actually shows the shadow of the supermassive BH in the center of Messier 87 (M87), an elliptical galaxy about 55 million light years from earth [2]. The study of geodesic motion of test particles in the gravitational field of BH spacetimes is an exciting issue among astrophysicists in view of observing various physical properties of spacetime. In particular, the curvature of any BH spacetime is analyzed through geodesics around it to obtain a rich structure with conveying the characteristics of that particular spacetime geometry [1, 3, 4].
In the last few decades, several studies have been done concerning the non-commutative geometry in GR as an intrinsic property of spacetime, which does not depend on curvature of spacetime, and gained interest in the context of approaching gravity at quantum level [5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16]. Following the non-commutative Heisenberg algebra [17], the non-commutative inspired geometry in GR can be interpreted as an uncertainty in the spatial coordinates defined by the commutation relation \([x^{\mu },x^{\nu }]=i \alpha ^{\mu \nu }\), where \( \alpha ^{\mu \nu }\) being an antisymmetric matrix [10, 12, 18, 19]. It is a topic of keen interest due to the non-commutativity effect on spacetime as a consequence of which point-like matter structures are turned into smeared objects diffused throughout a region [9, 11]. More precisely, non-commutative geometries have been constructed as an approach to quantum gravity by eliminating the singularities that appear in GR. In view of non-commutativity, the quantum effect appears only in the matter source such that the mass of the particle will not be localized at the point, while the Einstein tensor remains the same. The position Dirac delta function of point-like mass density source is eliminated by Gaussian distribution having a minimal width of \(\sqrt{\alpha }\) representing smeared objects. The conventional mass density of a static, spherically symmetric, smeared particle-like gravitational source is defined in the form of Gaussian distribution as [9, 16]
where \(\alpha \) is called the commutative parameter representing the non-commutativity of spacetime and has a dimension of length squared.
The main objective of our study is to demonstrate how spatial non-commutativity effects the stability of circular orbits and the characteristics modes or QNMs in the gravitational field of NCSBH arises due to non-commutative structure of spacetime. These have interesting features due to the non-commutativity of spacetime. Null circular geodesics play a crucial role in describing the characteristic modes of a BH, popularly known as QNMs, which can be interpreted as non-massive particles trapped in the unstable circular orbits.
Several kinds of BH solutions inspired by a non-commutative geometry in GR have been studied by Nicolini et al. [6], which provide fascinating information about their behavior and properties. The motion of massive (i.e., timelike) and massless (i.e., null) test particles in the background of non-commutative black holes, especially Schwarzschild BH, was investigated by Rahaman et al. [9]. The Reissner–Nordström BH inspired by non-commutative geometry was analyzed by Alavi [12], and Modesto et al. [20] have done the same investigations for the charged rotating non-commutative BHs, viz. the Kerr non-commutative BH and Kerr–Newman non-commutative BH. So far, the solution of the coupled Einstein–Maxwell field equations with non-commutative geometry which describe charged, self-gravitating objects in diverse context, including extremal and non-extremal BHs, was investigated by Ansoldi et al. [5]. The geodesic motion of massless test particles, i.e., photons in the background of a non-commutative geometry-inspired Schwarzschild BH, has been studied by Kuniyal et al. [11].
The QNMs of massless scalar field perturbation in a SBH spacetime inspired by non-commutative geometry have been investigated by adopting the third-order Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin (WKB) approximation approach that indicates the significant effect of the non-commutative parameter in QNM frequencies [21]. Also, the spectrum of QNM frequencies of five-dimensional non-commutative BH spacetime for the perturbations of a massive scalar field using the sixth-order WKB approximation has been recently obtained by Grigoris et al. [22]. However, the massless scalar QNMs of the non-commutative D-dimensional Schwarzschild–Tangherlini BH spacetime have also recently been investigated employing the WKB approximation method, the asymptotic iterative method (AIM) and the inverted potential method (IPM) in a greater detail by Zening et al. [23].
Ćirić et al. [24] have performed a detailed study of QNM spectrum of the Reissner–Nordström BH in the presence of a deformed spacetime structure, which is obtained from a non-commutative deformation of a scalar field coupled with a commutative Reissner–Nordström spacetime. Thereafter, they have used a numerical method known as continued fraction method to obtain the QNM spectrum for a non-extremal Reissner–Nordström BH spacetime (see [25] for details) and compared the obtained results with their previous results as in [24]. However, Gupta et al. [26] have obtained an exact analytic expression for the QNMs of a non-commutative massless scalar field in the gravitational field of 2+1-dimensional BTZ BH spacetime up to the first order in the deformation parameter and quantization of BH entropy [27, 28]. Further, the fermionic QNMs of the BTZ BH spacetime in the view of spacetime non-commutativity, which leads a duality between a spinless and spinning BTZ BH case, are also analyzed in detail [29]. More recently, the non-commutativity and quantum corrections to the Hawking temperature and entropy of a BTZ BH spacetime are investigated in [30] by applying the Hamilton–Jacobi method using the WKB approximation, which indicates that the logarithmic correction to the entropy of the non-commutative BTZ BH is direct evidence of non-commutativity of spacetime.
Among the various methods and techniques for analyzing the stability of geodesics, the measurement of Lyapunov exponent has been extensively employed. The average rate of separation between two nearby trajectories in phase space is defined as Lyapunov exponent. The Lyapunov exponent should have a positive and negative value corresponding to divergence and convergence of two neighboring geodesics, respectively [31,32,33,34,35].
A simple set of unstable circular orbits exist in the extreme case of BH in GR and other alternative theories of gravity including the usual stable circular orbits. This set of unstable circular orbits in any gravitational field of BH is a direct consequence of the nonlinearity of GR, which is quantified by a positive value of Lyapunov exponent. The nonlinearity in GR leads to nonintegrability of the system, and chaos may develop in the unstable circular orbits [36,37,38,39]. However, the QNM is a complex quantity corresponding to unstable null circular geodesics, which can be evaluated by its correlation with Lyapunov exponent and angular frequency [40,41,42]. According to Cardoso et al., the real part of the QNM is interpreted as the angular frequency, while the imaginary part is interpreted as the instability timescale of the orbit (i.e., Lyapunov exponent) of the unstable null circular geodesics [31].
This paper is organized as follows: We first discuss the Lyapunov exponent and critical exponent in Sect. 1.1. The NCSBH spacetime geometry is then briefly discussed in Sect. 2, followed by the stability of geodesics of test particles around considered spacetime in Sect. 3. Further, the massless scalar field perturbation around NCSBH spacetime is discussed along with the computation of QNM frequencies in Sect. 4. Finally, the results obtained are summarized and concluded in Sect. 5. Throughout the course of this work, we have used rescaled units so that the gravitational constant and the speed of light are normalized (i.e., \( G = c = 1\)). The BH mass is, however, considered as \(M=1\), and the non-commutative parameter \(\alpha \) is chosen to be in range 0.1 to 0.3 while depicting the plots.
1.1 The Lyapunov exponent and critical exponent
The concept of Lyapunov exponent has regularly been implemented to study the behavior of dynamical systems especially to determine the unpredictable behavior of nonlinear dynamical systems. Basically, the Lyapunov exponent or Lyapunov characteristic exponent characterizes quantitatively the rate of separation of infinitesimally nearby trajectories or orbits say x(t) and \(x_{0}(t)\) in phase space of a dynamical system (see refs. [43, 44] for details).
One can thus define an observed trajectory or orbit x(t) representing the solution of a continuous-time smooth dynamical system in any arbitrary dimension with the differential equation [45],
So far, for a small perturbation \(\xi (t)\) on x(t) defined by
where \(x_{0}\) is a fixed point at \(t=0\).
According to Sano et al. [45], one can define the principal Lyapunov exponent as the mean exponential rate of expansion or contraction of the trajectory \(x_{0}\) in the direction of \(\xi (0)\) as
here \(\parallel ..\parallel \) represents a vector norm.
Starting from the necessary Lagrangian for the motion of a test particle around the BH spacetime, Cardoso et al. [31] derived a relationship between the second-order derivative of the radial effective potential (\({\dot{r}}^{2}\)) and the Lyapunov exponent (\(\lambda \)). For the motion of a non-spinning test particle in the gravitational field of any static, spherically symmetric spacetime, the proper-time Lyapunov exponent is defined as (see Appendix-A in [46] for details)
and the coordinate-time Lyapunov exponent is derived as:
Here and throughout, the works \((')\) and (.) represent differentiation w.r.t. radial coordinate r and affine parameter \(\tau \), respectively.
The unstable circular orbits can be found for the real values of Lyapunov exponents, while the stable circular orbits may be found for imaginary values and the marginally stable orbits are found for zero values of the Lyapunov exponent [31]. Moreover, the critical exponent (\(\gamma \)) is used to obtain the quantitative characterization of instability of circular orbits defined as the ratio of orbital timescale \(T_{\varOmega }=\frac{2\pi }{\varOmega }\) to the Lyapunov timescale \(T_{\lambda }=\frac{1}{\lambda }\) in the following form [31, 47],
where \(\varOmega \) represents angular frequency or orbital angular velocity.
2 The non-commutative Schwarzschild black hole (NCSBH)
The non-commutative geometry is an crucial approach to unify other fundamental forces with gravity revealing the quantum nature of gravity at very high energy regime. The non-commutative inspired BH spacetimes based on the mathematical framework of quantum gravity are one of the leading candidates of this theory [5, 6]. Considering a matter source having mass density described by Eq. (1) and solving the Einstein field equation, one can obtain SBH inspired by non-commutative geometry (i.e., NCSBH spacetime) defined by a line element in standard spherical coordinates (\(t,r,\theta ,\phi \)) given as [5, 9,10,11, 16]
where the metric function f(r) reads as [9, 12],
The mass function m(r), which is proportional to the mass M of BH, is related to the non-commutative parameter \(\alpha \), by a relation
Here, the lower incomplete gamma function is given by: [48]
The lower and upper incomplete gamma functions satisfy the following relation:
Hence, the metric function Eq. (9) can be rewritten in terms of the upper incomplete gamma function as
i.e., the third term represents the perturbation due to non-commutativity of spacetime.
However, the SBH spacetime can be recovered from NCSBH metric in the prescribed limit \(\alpha \rightarrow 0\) or \(r/\sqrt{\alpha } \rightarrow \infty \) as the gamma function \(\varGamma (\frac{3}{2},\frac{r^{2}}{4\alpha })\) vanishes in this limit.
The position of the horizon radius (\(r_{h}\)) at which the metric function f(r) vanishes is presented in Fig. 1. One can conclude that the non-commutative inspired SBH spacetime introduces two horizons for \(\alpha =0.1\), one horizon for \(\alpha =0.28\), no horizon for \(\alpha =0.3\). Contrary to NCSBH, the SBH has only one horizon at \(r=2M\).
3 Geodesic stability around NCSBH spacetime
In this section, we first investigate the affinely parametrized geodesics (timelike and null) by the Lagrangian approach, i.e., the Euler–Lagrange equations [1, 4]. For this purpose, we begin with the Lagrangian defined as below:
where \(g_{\mu \nu }\) represents the metric tensor and \(\dot{x^{\mu }}\) refers the derivative of spacetime coordinates w.r.t. affine parameter \(\tau \). Therefore, the Lagrangian for test particles motion in NCSBH background considering the motion in equatorial plane (i.e., \(\theta =\frac{\pi }{2}\)) can be written as:
Corresponding to the cyclic coordinates t and \(\phi \) in the above Lagrangian, the constants of motion E and angular momentum L are identified. Using the Euler–Lagrange equations of motion, the canonical momenta with respect to these cyclic coordinates are deduced as:
From Eqs. (16) and (17), the first integrals of the geodesic equations yield:
The constraint on the geodesics reads as:
i.e.,
where \(\epsilon \) = 0 and -1 corresponds to null (massless particles) and timelike (massive particles) geodesics, respectively.
The radial geodesic equation of test particles for NCSBH can be obtained by substituting \({\dot{t}}\) and \({\dot{\phi }}\) from Eq. (18) into constraint Eq. (20) as follows:
Now, by comparing Eq. (21) with \({\dot{r}}^{2}=E^{2}- V_\mathrm{eff}\), we found
which is called the effective potential for the NCSBH spacetime.
3.1 The timelike geodesics and Lyapunov exponent
From Eq. (21), when \(\epsilon =-1\) taken into account, the radial equation for massive test particles becomes
Thus, the effective potential of NCSBH for massive (timelike) test particles reads as
As shown in Fig. 2, the minima of the effective potential shifted towards higher values of radius as non-commutative parameter \(\alpha \) increases. It is also observed that potentials coincide with potential of SBH for radius greater than the horizon of SBH (i.e., \(\ge 2M\)). Thus, it can be concluded that the effect of non-commutativity is insignificant for radius \(r\ge 2M\).
Further, we consider circular geodesic motion of particles in specified NCSBH background by restricting radius of orbits to \(r = r_{0}= \mathrm{constant}\).
The condition for occurrence of circular orbits (i.e., \({\dot{r}}^{2}=({\dot{r}}^{2})'=0\)) and the radial equation expressed in Eq. (23) result in the energy and angular momentum describing a circular orbit of the massive particle, respectively, as given below,
where the term \(\varPsi \) associated with the above equations is represented as:
The circular orbits are possible for real and finite values of the energy and angular momentum, for which the quantity \(\varPsi \) must be negative, i.e., \(\varPsi <0\).
However, the angular frequency (\(\varOmega _{0}\)) for timelike circular orbits is deduced as:
In order to discuss the stability of circular orbits of massive particles around NCSBH, by calculating the second-order derivative of Eq. (23) with respect to radius (r), the coordinate-time Lyapunov exponent represented by Eq. (6) is evaluated as:
One can illustrate the stability or instability of the timelike circular orbits for NCSBH by Lyapunov exponent computed above. The orbits are stable for complex nature (i.e., imaginary) of \(\lambda _{c}\), and unstable orbits exist for real value of \(\lambda _{c}\). The nature of Lyapunov exponent \(\lambda _{c}\) with radius of circular orbits by varying non-commutative parameter \(\alpha \) is depicted in Fig. 3, which indicates the instability defined by \(\lambda _{c}\) decreases with increase in radius of circular orbits and coincide at higher values of radius.
3.2 The null geodesics and Lyapunov exponent
Substitute \(\epsilon =0\) into Eq. (21) in order to investigate null circular geodesics for NCSBH. The radial equation for photons (massless particles) reads as:
The effective potential for photons is then obtained as:
and the same is depicted in Fig. 2 with same observations as that for timelike case.
The null circular orbits are possible when \({\dot{r}}^{2}=0\) at constant radius \(r=r_{c}\), which yield the angular momentum to energy ratio (i.e., impact parameter) as follows
and \(({\dot{r}}^{2})'=0\) leads to an equation for the radius of unstable circular orbits as
The solution of the above equation provides the radius of the unstable null circular orbit or photon sphere given as:
Thus, the radius of unstable circular orbit of photons for NCSBH is smaller than that for SBH (i.e., \(<3M\)) due to the presence of non-commutative geometry in spacetime. Also, both the impact parameter (\(D_{c}\)) and \(r_{c}\) of null circular orbits for NCSBH are dependent on mass and non-commutative parameter.
The angular frequency at \(r=r_{c}\) comes out as
So, it is interesting to say that the angular frequency of null circular geodesics is equivalent to inverse the impact parameter.
Further, we derived the coordinate-time Lyapunov exponent for null circular orbits by using Eqs. (6) and (30) as given below:
The null circular orbits are unstable at the radius \(r_{c}\) for real values of Lyapunov exponent \(\lambda _{Null}\). The instability of unstable null circular orbits can be determined by a quantity known as instability exponent, which is defined as the ratio of Lyapunov exponent to angular frequency (\( \lambda _\mathrm{Null}/\varOmega _{c}\)) and comes out as follows
Figure 4a depicts the variation of instability exponent for null circular orbits with respect to radius \(r_{c}\). For various values of non-commutative parameter \(\alpha \), it can be observed that instability of increases sharply to the highest value and then decreases as radius of circular orbit increases. Also, the height of instability decreases as value of the parameter \(\alpha \) increases and shows the same behavior for values of radius (\(r_{c}>3M\)). Therefore, one can state that the null circular orbits in NCSBH spacetime are found unstable in nature. Furthermore, in Fig. 5b, we visualize the variation of instability of circular orbit of radius \(r_{c}=2.5\) with respect to \(\alpha \). It is observed that the instability of circular orbit first remains constant for smaller values of \(\alpha \) and then decreases gradually as values of \(\alpha \) increase.
Further, we deduced the critical exponent that measures the instability of null circular orbits quantitatively as
In the case of null geodesics, the Lyapunov exponent \(\lambda _\mathrm{Null}^\mathrm{Ele}\) has a real value at \(r=r_{c}\). Therefore, the Lyapunov timescale is less than orbital timescale (\(T_{\lambda }<T_{\varOmega }\)) of orbits, which implies the observational appearance of instability in the null circular orbits for NCSBH.
4 Massless scalar field perturbation around NCSBH spacetime
In this section, we analyze the behavior of NCSBH geometry in view of perturbations by a massless scalar field following S. Fernando [49,50,51]. The massless scalar field perturbation in eikonal approximation has been widely used to evaluate QNMs of various spacetime background due to its considerable accuracy.
The Klein–Gordon (K-G) equation describing the motion of a test particle in scalar field around any BH has the form:
As we consider massless scalar field perturbations so that \(\mu =0\), the K-G equation reduces to
The above K-G Eq. (40) leads to a scalar field with decomposition
where \(Y_{l,m}(\theta ,\phi )\) represents the spherical harmonics, l is angular quantum number and m the magnetic quantum number, whereas the frequency of the oscillations of the scalar field is represented by \(\omega \).
The radial component of Eq. (39) can be simplified to a Schrödinger-type equation as below:
where \(r_{*}\) is “tortoise” coordinate ranging from \(-\infty \) to \(+\infty \) and is defined as \(dr_{*}=\frac{dr}{f(r)}\).
The function \(V_{s}(r)\) is known as the scalar field potential for massless scalar field perturbation having the angular momentum of the perturbation l. In view of null circular orbit at \(r=r_{c}\) for eikonal limit \((l \rightarrow \infty )\), it is obtained as
Hence, the scalar field potential in case of NCSBH geometry is given by:
Thus, one can notice that the scalar field potential for this geometry depends on the mass of BH (M), non-commutative parameter (\(\alpha \)) and angular momentum of the perturbation (l). Figure 5a shows the effect of parameter (\(\alpha \)) on the nature of the scalar potential for fixed values of perturbation parameter (\(l=3\)) and BH mass \(M=1\). It is observed that the potential decreases to minimum value and then increases to positive region, whereas the depth of the potential increases as the value of \(\alpha \) decreases. However, the depth of scalar potential increases with an increase in angular momentum of perturbation l as shown in Fig. 5b for fixed values of parameters \(M=1\) and \(\alpha =0.1\). Consequently, the negative scalar field potential indicates the presence of unstable null circular orbits around NCSBH spacetime.
4.1 QNMs of NCSBH Spacetime
According to Cardoso et al. [31], the QNMs or “free” modes of vibration of any static, spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat BH spacetime can be interpreted by unstable null circular orbits corresponding to that spacetime background. In view of the eikonal approximation, i.e., for large limit (\(l>>1\)), the QNM frequency under massless scalar field perturbation is represented by a complex quantity, which can be determined by the parameters of null circular orbits. The product of angular frequency (\(\varOmega {c}\)) with “l” is defined as the real part, whereas the product of Lyapunov exponent (\(\lambda _\mathrm{Null}\)) with (n+1/2) is called imaginary part of QNMs, i.e.,
where n is the overtone number.
The above expression with Eqs. (35) and (36) will yield the QNMs valid in eikonal regime of NCSBH as follows:
Significantly, one can interpret the Lyapunov exponent appearing in QNMs as the decay rate of unstable null circular orbits. It is obvious that the real and imaginary parts of QNMs of NCSBH depend on the non-commutative parameter (\(\alpha \)); therefore, we intend to observe the effect of non-commutativity on QNM frequencies.
The complex list plot of QNMs, i.e., the relation between the real and imaginary parts of the QNMs, is visualized in Fig. 6a by varying angular momentum of perturbation l by fixing remaining parameters. The same is presented in Fig. 6b by varying overtone number n for fixed values of other parameters.
Further, we have evaluated the QNMs for the scalar field perturbation in the background of the NCSBH for different values of parameter \(\alpha \) by varying perturbation parameter l (listed in Table 1) and overtone number n (listed in Table 2) for fixed values of other parameters. Therefore, from Table 1, one can observe that for fixed l, the real part of QNM increases and absolute value of the imaginary part of decreases as the value of non-commutative parameter \(\alpha \) increases. Hence, the oscillations damped more rapidly with increasing non-commutativity of spacetime. Similarly, from Table 2, it is observed that for fixed n, the real part of QNMs increases and absolute value of imaginary part decreases with increasing value of \(\alpha \) which represents rapid damping in oscillations.
5 Summary and conclusions
The stability analysis of circular orbits of massive particles and photons around Schwarzschild BH with non-commutative geometry (NCSBH) has been investigated in detail. Also, the QNMs of NCSBH have been derived and evaluated by employing massless scalar field perturbation in the eikonal approximation. Some of the interesting results drawn from our study are summarized as follows:
-
The standard SBH spacetime in the context of non-commutative inspired geometry turns out to have either two horizons (for \(\alpha =0.1\)), one horizon (for \(\alpha =0.28\)) and no horizon for higher value (for \(\alpha =0.3\)). Contrary to NCSBH spacetime geometry, there is only one horizon present in the case of SBH.
-
The respective plots of effective potential for NCSBH spacetime have concluded that the effective potential of such non-commutative geometry differs from the Schwarzschild case within the horizon radius (\(r=2M\)) of SBH as a consequence of the non-commutativity in spacetime. Beyond this limit of radius, all potentials coincide with each other conveying insignificant effect of non-commutativity.
-
More specifically, we have derived the coordinate-time Lyapunov exponent \((\lambda _{c})\) in order to study the stability of timelike circular orbits on the equatorial plane of NCSBH spacetime. For different values of non-commutative parameter \(\alpha \), the \(\lambda _{c}\) decreases as radius of circular orbits increases, and it shows the same behavior for all values of \(\alpha \) beyond \(r_{0}=3M\).
-
In the case of null circular orbits, the radius of unstable circular orbits (\(r_{c}\)) is found to be less than that the SBH case and depends upon the non-commutative parameter (\(\alpha \)). So far, by deriving the instability exponent \(\lambda _{Null}/\varOmega _{c}\) for unstable circular orbits, it is observed that the instability increases to a highest value and then decreases rapidly for circular orbits of higher radius. However, as the non-commutative parameter (\(\alpha \)) increases, the height of instability decreases accordingly and shows the same behavior for radius \(r_{c}>3M\). The instability exponent versus \(\alpha \) for circular orbit of \(r_{c}=2.5\) shows that the instability of null circular orbits decreases gradually with parameter \(\alpha \).
-
Further, we have employed the massless scalar field perturbation around NCSBH spacetime having unstable null circular orbits to compute the QNMs. In the eikonal limit, i.e., for large l, the QNMs consist of a real part and an imaginary part depending upon orbital angular velocity \(\varOmega _{c}\) and the instability timescale of the orbit (i.e., Lyapunov exponent) for unstable null circular orbits, respectively. In case of NCSBH, both parts of QNMs (\(\omega _{QNM}\)) are non-commutative parameter (\(\alpha \)) dependent. Furthermore, we have also calculated QNMs and discussed the relationship between real and imaginary parts by varying parameters n and l with increasing non-commutative parameter \(\alpha \). It is concluded that the non-commutative parameter \(\alpha \) has a significant effect on damping in oscillations. The negative behavior of scalar field potential \(V_{s}\) by varying parameters \(\alpha \) and l indicates the instability of the null circular orbits of photons in NCSBH spacetime.
