abstract

We provide a complete classification of asymptotic quasinormal frequencies for static, spherically symmetric black hole spacetimes in d dimensions. This includes all possible types of gravitational perturbations (tensor, vector and scalar type) as described by the Ishibashi-Kodama master equations. The frequencies for Schwarzschild are dimension independent, while for RN are dimension dependent (the extremal RN case must be considered separately from the non-extremal case). For Schwarzschild dS, there is a dimension independent formula for the frequencies, except in dimension d=5 where the formula is different. For RN dS there is a dimension dependent formula for the frequencies, except in dimension d=5 where the formula is different. Schwarzschild and RN AdS black hole spacetimes are simpler: the formulae for the frequencies will depend upon a parameter related to the tortoise coordinate at spatial infinity, and scalar type perturbations in dimension d=5 lead to a continuous spectrum for the quasinormal frequencies. We also address non-black hole spacetimes, such as pure dS spacetime--where there are quasinormal modes only in odd dimensions--and pure AdS spacetime--where again scalar type perturbations in dimension d=5 lead to a continuous spectrum for the normal frequencies. Our results match previous numerical calculations with great accuracy. Asymptotic quasinormal frequencies have also been applied in the framework of quantum gravity for black holes. Our results show that it is only in the simple Schwarzschild case which is possible to obtain sensible results concerning area quantization or loop quantum gravity. In an effort to keep this paper self-contained we also review earlier results in the literature.

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.

Bouncing singularities and thermal correlators on line defects

hep-th · 2026-03-11 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Retarded correlators of displacement operators on line defects in holographic thermal CFTs exhibit bouncing singularities that match between interior-sensitive WKB and boundary-only OPE analyses.

Quantum scars from holographic boson stars

hep-th · 2026-05-04 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Asymptotically AdS mini-boson stars exhibit scar-like states with random-matrix chaos signatures, embedded integrable branches, low entanglement, and Krylov complexity revivals, unlike thermal black holes.

Quasinormal modes of black holes and black branes

gr-qc · 2009-05-19 · unverdicted · novelty 2.0

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.
