We solve the wave equations of arbitrary integer spin fields in the BTZ black hole background and obtain exact expressions for their quasinormal modes. We show that these quasinormal modes precisely agree with the location of the poles of the corresponding two point function in the dual conformal field theory as predicted by the AdS/CFT correspondence. We then use these quasinormal modes to construct the one-loop determinant of the higher spin field in the thermal BTZ background. This is shown to agree with that obtained from the corresponding heat kernel constructed recently by group theoretic methods.

  1. Circular strings, magnons, plane waves and local quenches in BTZ

    hep-th 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A coordinate map from AdS3 to BTZ allows construction of circular strings, magnons, and plane waves whose SL(2,R) charges are related by a boost, dual to asymmetric local quenches in the thermal CFT.

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    In AdS3 supergravity, the gravitational path integral at low temperatures in the near-horizon region is inequivalent to that of the BTZ background, with distinct contributions from bosonic fluctuations, Chern-Simons f...

    hep-th 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Schwarzian modes emerge from the general solution of BTZ perturbations at finite temperature with no rotational modes present, and are equivalently obtained via a Kerr-Schild construction that connects to the double copy.
