Photon spheres are the characteristic of general black holes, thus are a suitable touchstone for the emergence of gravitational spacetime in the AdS/CFT correspondence. We provide a spectral analysis of an AdS Schwarzschild black hole near its photon sphere. We find that quasinormal modes near the photon sphere reflect the AdS boundary, resulting in a peculiar spectral pattern. Our large angular momentum analysis owes to an analogue to solvable Schr\"odinger equations such as an inverted harmonic oscillator and the P\"oschl-Teller model, with a Dirichlet boundary condition. Through the AdS/CFT dictionary, it predicts the existence of a peculiar subsector in the large angular momentum spectrum of thermal holographic CFTs on a sphere.

  1. Can we distinguish whether black holes have singularities or not through echoes and light rings?

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In the Bardeen and Hayward black hole families, the singular type II branch can have two light rings and echo-like quasinormal signals, while regular black holes have one light ring.
