abstract
We use Penrose limits to approximate quasinormal modes with large real frequencies. The Penrose limit associates a plane wave to a region of spacetime near a null geodesic. This plane wave can be argued to geometrically realize the geometrical optics approximation. Therefore, when applied to the bound null orbits around black holes, the Penrose limit can be used to study quasinormal modes. For instance, this Penrose limit point of view makes manifest the symmetry that emerges in the geometrical optics approximation of quasinormal modes in terms of isometries of the resulting plane wave spacetime. We apply the procedure to warped $\rm{AdS}_3$, Schwarzschild black holes and Kerr black holes. In the former we show explicitly how the symmetry algebra contracts to that of the limiting plane wave while in the latter we find the expected agreement with numerically computed quasinormal modes for large (real) frequencies.

Berry Picking: Random Wave Chaos Hierarchy for BPS Microstate Geometries
Probe waves in BPS microstate geometries increasingly match Berry random-wave statistics as the background approaches a black hole, while probe geodesics become more regular.

Berry Picking: Random Wave Chaos Hierarchy for BPS Microstate Geometries
Wave chaos in BPS microstate geometries strengthens toward black-hole-like throats while geodesic chaos weakens, and weak-coupling CFT Renyi entropies do not share that bulk hierarchy.
