Here we shall show how to reconstruct the shape function of a spherically symmetric traversable Lorenzian wormhole near its throat if one knows high frequency quasinormal modes of the wormhole. The wormhole spacetime is given by the Morris-Thorne ansatz. The solution to the inverse problem via fitting of the parameters within the WKB approach is unique for arbitrary tideless wormholes and some wormholes with non-zero tidal effects, but this is not so for arbitrary wormholes. As examples, we reproduce the near throat geometries of the Bronnikov-Ellis and tideless Morris-Thorne metrics by their quasinormal modes at high multipole numbers $\ell$.

  1. Bardeen spacetime as quantum corrected black hole: Grey-body factors and quasinormal modes of gravitational perturbations

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Increasing the quantum-correction scale in Bardeen spacetime raises quasinormal frequencies, slows decay, suppresses low-frequency transmission, and reorganizes absorption cross-sections.

  2. Scalar, electromagnetic, and Dirac perturbations of regular black holes constituting primordial dark matter

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Larger DBI regularity scale in an asymptotically flat regular black hole shifts quasinormal frequencies and damping rates downward with only weak change in quality factor, above numerical uncertainty.

  3. Massive scalar quasinormal modes of an asymptotically flat regular black hole supported by a phantom Dirac--Born--Infeld field

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Massive scalar quasinormal modes in this DBI-supported regular black hole show higher oscillation frequencies and lower damping as field mass increases, with larger regularity scales producing softer and longer-lived ringing.

  4. Scalar, electromagnetic, and Dirac perturbations of regular black holes constituting primordial dark matter

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Larger DBI regularity in this regular black hole model reduces quasinormal frequencies and damping rates for scalar, electromagnetic, and Dirac perturbations while the quality factor stays nearly constant, producing a...
