Scalar-channel quasinormal modes of the planar AdS5 black brane are captured across all wave numbers by exact WKB quantisation, transseries resummation, and Seiberg–Witten analytic continuation, with resummed large-q predictions matching independent numerics to ten to thirty decimal places.

abstract
We use the Lorentzian AdS/CFT prescription to find the poles of the retarded thermal Green's functions of ${\cal N=4}$ SU(N) SYM theory in the limit of large N and large 't Hooft coupling. In the process, we propose a natural definition for quasinormal modes in an asymptotically AdS spacetime, with boundary conditions dictated by the AdS/CFT correspondence. The corresponding frequencies determine the dispersion laws for the quasiparticle excitations in the dual finite-temperature gauge theory. Correlation functions of operators dual to massive scalar, vector and gravitational perturbations in a five-dimensional AdS-Schwarzschild background are considered. We find asymptotic formulas for quasinormal frequencies in the massive scalar and tensor cases, and an exact expression for vector perturbations. In the long-distance, low-frequency limit we recover results of the hydrodynamic approximation to thermal Yang-Mills theory.

Retarded correlators of bulk scalars and Wilson-line displacement operators exhibit bouncing singularities at t_c=β/2(1+i) with matching WKB and asymptotic OPE data, implying a universal high-frequency factorization.
Non-conformal deformation via Einstein-dilaton gravity increases the radius of convergence of the derivative expansion for gapped quasinormal modes of a scalar operator in the holographic dual.
Quasinormal modes are eigenmodes of dissipative gravitational systems whose spectra encode near-equilibrium transport coefficients in dual quantum field theories and enable tests of general relativity through gravitational wave observations.
