abstract

QNMs govern the linear response to perturbations of BHs, D-branes and fuzzballs and the gravitational wave signals in the ring-down phase of binary mergers. A remarkable connection between QNMs of neutral BHs in 4d and quantum SW geometries describing the dynamics of ${\cal N}=2$ SYM theories has been recently put forward. We extend the gauge/gravity dictionary to a large class of gravity backgrounds including charged and rotating BHs of Einstein-Maxwell theory in $d=4,5$ dimensions, D3-branes, D1D5 `circular' fuzzballs and smooth horizonless geometries; all related to ${\cal N}=2$ SYM with a single $SU(2)$ gauge group and fundamental matter. We find that photon-spheres, a common feature of all examples, are associated to degenerations of the classical elliptic SW geometry whereby a cycle pinches to zero size. Quantum effects resolve the singular geometry and lead to a spectrum of quantized energies, labeled by the overtone number $n$. We compute the spectrum of QNMs using exact WKB quantization, geodetic motion and numerical simulations and show excellent agreement between the three methods. We explicitly illustrate our findings for the case D3-brane QNMs.

  1. Gravitational waveforms from binaries in higher-derivative gravity: a Love story

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    In higher-derivative gravity, the leading correction to extreme-mass-ratio inspiral waveforms and fluxes enters at 5PN order and is controlled by the ℓ=2 tidal Love number.

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

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

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

  3. Bouncing singularities and thermal correlators on line defects

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Retarded correlators of displacement operators on line defects in holographic thermal CFTs exhibit bouncing singularities that match between interior-sensitive WKB and boundary-only OPE analyses.

  4. From the confluent Heun equation to a new factorized and resummed gravitational waveform for circularized, nonspinning, compact binaries

    gr-qc 2026-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A new resummation absorbs all test-mass logarithms and transcendental numbers into closed-form factors, leaving rational polynomial waveform corrections up to 10PN.

  5. "Waveforms" at the Horizon

    gr-qc 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A probe scattering off a Schwarzschild black hole transfers a definite leading-order post-Minkowskian angular momentum to the horizon, given by new closed formulas (3.24b), (3.29), (3.36).

  6. One loop corrections to the thermodynamics of near-extremal Kerr-(A)dS black holes from Heun equation

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Cold near-extremal Kerr-de Sitter black holes carry universal log(T) entropy corrections while rotating Nariai geometries do not, as derived from Teukolsky/Heun connection coefficients.

  7. Exact expressions for the 5-Point Liouville conformal block with a level-two degenerate field insertion

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A rigorous inductive proof that the 5-point Liouville conformal block with a level-2 degenerate insertion can be expressed exactly in terms of one hypergeometric function and its derivative.
