Black holes in anti-de Sitter spacetime provide an important testing ground for both gravitational and field-theoretic phenomena. In particular, the study of perturbations can be useful to further our understanding regarding certain physical processes, such as superradiance, or the dynamics of strongly coupled conformal field theories through the holographic principle. In this work we continue our systematic study of the ultraviolet instabilities of black-hole quasinormal modes, built on the characterization of the latter as eigenvalues of a (spectrally unstable) non-selfadjoint operator and using the pseudospectrum as a main analysis tool, extending our previous studies in the asymptotically flat setting to Anti-de Sitter asymptotics. Very importantly, this step provides a singularly well-suited probe into some of the key structural aspects of the pseudospectrum. This is a consequence of the specific features of the Schwarzschild-anti-de Sitter geometry, together with the existence of a sound characterization by Warnick of quasinormal modes as eigenvalues, that is still absent in asymptotic flatness. This work focuses on such structural aspects, with an emphasis on the convergence issues of the pseudospectrum and, in particular, the comparison between the hyperboloidal and null slicing cases. As a physical by-product of this structural analysis we assess, in particular, the spectral stability of purely imaginary ``hydrodynamic" modes, which appear for axial gravitational perturbations, that become dominant when the black-hole horizon is larger than the anti-de Sitter radius. We find that their spectral stability, under perturbations, depends on how close they are to the real axis, or conversely how distant they are from the first oscillatory overtone.

Waveform stability of black hole ringdown with stochastic horizon structure
Ringdown waveforms are robust against small-scale stochastic horizon fluctuations; only coherent, macroscopic horizon structure with ε≳10^-4 and L_c∼M could produce observable deviations.

Pseudospectrum and (in)stability of black hole total transmission modes
Total transmission modes of Tangherlini black holes are generically spectrally unstable, except for a purely imaginary gravitational mode with nearly concentric pseudospectrum; complex TTM families appear already at d=8.

Spectrum instability and greybody factor stability for parabolic approximation of Regge-Wheeler potential
Replacing the Regge-Wheeler potential by piecewise parabolas makes quasinormal-mode spectra unstable, with long-lived overtones, while greybody factors stay close to the exact Schwarzschild result.

Probing the Unstable Spectrum of Schwarzschild-like Black Holes
The quasinormal mode spectrum of physically deformed Schwarzschild-like black holes stays unstable, contradicting the expectation that displaced spectra become stable.

The (in)stability of quasinormal modes of Boulware-Deser-Wheeler black hole in the hyperboloidal framework
For Boulware-Deser-Wheeler black holes, quasinormal-mode spectra are pseudospectrally unstable, yet time-domain waveforms shift only quadratically under small potential bumps.

Exceptional line and pseudospectrum in black hole spectroscopy
A continuous line of exceptional points exists in the three-parameter space of a Gaussian-bump-perturbed Regge-Wheeler potential, with pseudospectral contour sizes scaling as ε^{1/2} at second-order EPs.

Regge poles, grey body factors, and absorption cross sections for black hole metrics with discontinuity
For black hole metrics with a discontinuity, the low-lying Regge poles remain nearly unchanged at moderate frequencies, which explains why greybody factors and absorption cross sections are stable observables despite ...

Quasi-normal modes in non-perturbative quantum gravity
Complex radial-dependent masses motivated by background-induced states shift Schwarzschild black-hole quasinormal-mode frequencies and can produce unstable modes in an ad hoc toy model.
