We propose a simple and efficient way to compute quasinormal frequencies of spherically symmetric black holes. We revisit an old idea that relates them to bound state energies of anharmonic oscillators by an analytic continuation. This connection enables us to achieve remarkable high-order computations of WKB series by Rayleigh-Schr\"odinger perturbation theory. The known WKB results are easily reproduced. Our analysis shows that the perturbative WKB series of the quasinormal frequencies turn out to be Borel summable divergent series both for the Schwarzschild and for the Reissner-Nordstr\"om black holes. Their Borel sums reproduce the correct numerical values.

  1. Quasinormal Modes of Extremal Reissner-Nordstrom Black Holes via Seiberg-Witten Quantization

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Maps scalar perturbations around extremal charged black holes to Seiberg-Witten quantization to obtain the first non-perturbative quasinormal mode spectrum for charged massive fields.

  2. Resumming Kerr Quasinormal-Mode Frequencies: Accuracy and Breakdown Near Extremality

    gr-qc 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    Padé-resummed high-order WKB yields sub-10^{-7} Kerr QNM errors for damped modes up to a=0.99, but breaks down for zero-damped modes because near-horizon poles spoil the local peak expansion.

  3. Ces\`aro convergence of the high-order WKB method and its applications to black-hole overtones and long-lived modes

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    High-order WKB with Padé approximants and Cesàro means enables computation of black-hole overtones and long-lived quasinormal modes, with a noted limitation that apparent convergence can be incorrect for some metrics.

  4. Massive Scalar Quasinormal Modes, Greybody Factors, and Absorption Cross Section of a Parity-Symmetric Beyond-Horndeski Black Hole

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Increasing the mass of a scalar field around a parity-symmetric beyond-Horndeski black hole strongly reduces the damping rate of quasinormal modes while suppressing low-frequency absorption and shifting efficient abso...

  5. Quasinormal Modes of Extremal Reissner-Nordstrom Black Holes via Seiberg-Witten Quantization

    hep-th 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0

    Quasinormal-mode frequencies of extremal Reissner-Nordström black holes for charged and massive scalar fields are computed through Seiberg-Witten/Nekrasov-Shatashvili quantization.

  6. Anomalous Decay Rate and Greybody Factors for Regular Black Holes with Scalar Hair

    gr-qc 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Regular black holes with scalar hair exhibit anomalous decay rates for massive scalar perturbations, with longest-lived modes switching to lower angular momentum above a critical mass.

  7. Gravitational Bound State Perturbations Inside Black Holes and Isospectrality

    gr-qc 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0

    Polar perturbations inside Schwarzschild have ℓ−1 bound states; ℓ−2 of them are exactly isospectral to axial bound states, and the extra ground state is the algebraically special mode, yielding ΔA = 16π l_Pl².

    The authors construct explicit closed quantization contours encircling the origin for radial Schrödinger problems and use a logarithmic coordinate change to equate closed-cycle and open-connection quantization while i...

  9. Scattering of electromagnetic field in quasi-topological gravity

    Regular black holes in quasi-topological gravity produce shifted electromagnetic absorption spectra and modified photon sphere radii relative to singular Tangherlini solutions, with deviations suppressed as spacetime ...

  10. Gravitational perturbations of a regular T-duality inspired black hole: Quasinormal modes, excitation factors, and time-domain evolution

    gr-qc 2026-07 accept novelty 4.0

    ADM-scaled axial gravitational QNMs of the Jusufi–Singleton regular black hole rise in real part with zero-point length, while damping and excitation-factor magnitudes change more mildly.

  11. Gravitational perturbations of a regular T-duality inspired black hole: Quasinormal modes, excitation factors, and time-domain evolution

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0

    Gravitational quasinormal-mode frequencies of a T-duality-inspired regular black hole are computed, showing the zero-point length makes the ringdown oscillate faster and alters damping non-monotonically.

  12. Perturbing microscopic black holes inspired by noncommutativity

    gr-qc 2019-07 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Instabilities in quasinormal modes for noncommutative black holes are methodological artifacts of the WKB approximation rather than physical features.
