abstract

From information theory and thermodynamic considerations a universal bound on the relaxation time $\tau$ of a perturbed system is inferred, $\tau \geq \hbar/\pi T$, where $T$ is the system's temperature. We prove that black holes comply with the bound; in fact they actually {\it saturate} it. Thus, when judged by their relaxation properties, black holes are the most extreme objects in nature, having the maximum relaxation rate which is allowed by quantum theory.

Echoes of a hairy black hole from gravitational decoupling

gr-qc · 2026-04-02 · conditional · novelty 5.0

Axial perturbations of a gravitationally decoupled hairy black hole develop a double-peak potential that dynamically generates echo-like late-time waveforms in a suitable (α, β) region.
