We analyze evolution of gravitational perturbations of D-dimensional Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordstr\"om, and Reissner-Nordstrom-de Sitter black holes. It is known that the effective potential for the scalar type of gravitational perturbations has negative gap near the event horizon. This gap, for some values of the parameters Q (charge), Lambda (cosmological constant) and D (number of space-time dimensions), cannot be removed by S-deformations. Thereby, there is no proof of (in)stability for those cases. In the present paper, by an extensive search of quasinormal modes, both in time and frequency domains, we shall show that spherically symmetric static black holes with arbitrary charge and positive (de Sitter) lambda-term are stable for D=5, 6, >...11. In addition, we give a complete numerical data for all three types (scalar, vector and tensor) of gravitational perturbations for multi-dimensional black holes with charge and Lambda-term. The influence of charge, Lambda-term and number of extra dimensions on black hole quasinormal spectrum is discussed.

  1. Two types of quasinormal modes of Casadio-Fabbri-Mazzacurati brane-world black holes

    gr-qc 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Quasinormal modes of massive scalars in CFM brane-world black holes split into two types, with modes disappearing at critical masses where real or imaginary frequency parts reach zero.

    Quasinormal modes correspond well to grey-body factors for vector and tensor perturbations of Schwarzschild-Tangherlini black holes in all dimensions, but fail for scalar l=2 modes in D≥7 because of multiple potential...
