abstract
We study quasinormal modes and scattering properties via calculation of the $S$-matrix for scalar and electromagnetic fields propagating in the background of spherically and axially symmetric, traversable Lorentzian wormholes of a generic shape. Such wormholes are described by the Morris-Thorne ansatz and its axially symmetric generalization. The properties of quasinormal ringing and scattering are shown to be determined by the behavior of the wormhole's shape function $b(r)$ and shift factor $\Phi(r)$ near the throat. In particular, wormholes with the shape function $b(r)$, such that $b'(r) \approx 1$, have very long-lived quasinormal modes in the spectrum. We have proved that the axially symmetric traversable Lorentzian wormholes, unlike black holes and other compact rotating objects, do not allow for superradiance. As a by product we have shown that the 6th order WKB formula used for scattering problems of black or wormholes provides high accuracy and thus can be used for quite accurate calculations of the Hawking radiation processes around various black holes.

Rotation enhances Breit-Wigner resonances in scalar wave transmission through Teo wormholes by trapping modes in the throat potential well.
Numerical greybody factors for the Dymnikova black hole show temperature-driven luminosity suppression near the extremal remnant, with increasing fermion dominance in the residual massless flux.
Numerical scattering calculations for neutral scalar and Dirac fields on Einstein-Euler-Heisenberg-de Sitter black holes show that Euler-Heisenberg coupling raises barriers and shifts transmission frequencies upward while cosmological constant lowers thresholds, with luminosity highly sensitive to t
This review surveys calculations and interpretations of quasinormal modes for black holes in astrophysics, higher dimensions, and holographic duals without presenting new results.
