abstract

We show that in the limit where the number of spacetime dimensions D grows to infinity a very large class of black holes (including non-extremal, static, asymptotically flat ones, with any number of gauge-field charges, possibly coupled to dilatons) possess a universal set of quasinormal modes whose complex frequencies depend only on the horizon radius and no other black hole parameters. The damping ratio of these modes vanishes like $D^{-2/3}$, so they are almost normal modes, or 'quasi-particle' excitations of the black hole. The structure responsible for the existence of these modes at large D is also present very generally in other black holes.

Total absorption of tailored incoming signals by black holes

gr-qc · 2025-09-23 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Tailored temporal modulation of incoming signals enables complete absorption by black holes via excitation of complex-plane resonances, storing energy for later release through virtual absorption modes.

Quasinormal Modes of pp-Wave Spacetimes and Zero Temperature Dissipation

gr-qc · 2026-04-15 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Scalar quasinormal modes on pp-wave spacetimes show zero-temperature dissipation for d >= 3 via an irregular singular point acting as absorber, with exact non-dissipative spectrum for d=2 and gapped modes proven by reduction to Bessel equation.

A fluid dual to charged large D membrane paradigm

hep-th · 2026-05-15 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

The leading-order dynamics of charged large D membranes dual to asymptotically flat black holes correspond to a relativistic charged fluid localized on the membrane, with transport coefficients extracted in Eckart and Landau frames showing negative thermal conductivity and heat capacity for enforced
