Abstract
In this thesis, we investigate the behavior of a Lorentz-violating vector field near an uncharged static black hole. We analyze the equilibrium configuration of the field and its linear perturbations. We show that the equilibrium solution and spherically symmetric perturbations are governed by a quadratic function whose properties determine their qualitative behavior. By imposing realness and convergence, we derive bounds on the allowed parameters and identify a critical case in which the monopole perturbations grow large. We further derive asymptotic expressions for multipole perturbations near the event horizon and spatial infinity
