We make a thorough investigation of the asymptotic quasinormal modes of the four and five-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole for scalar, electromagnetic and gravitational perturbations. Our numerical results give full support to all the analytical predictions by Motl and Neitzke, for the leading term. We also compute the first order corrections analytically, by extending to higher dimensions, previous work of Musiri and Siopsis, and find excellent agreement with the numerical results. For generic spacetime dimension number D the first-order corrections go as $\frac{1}{n^{(D-3)/(D-2)}}$. This means that there is a more rapid convergence to the asymptotic value for the five dimensional case than for the four dimensional case, as we also show numerically.

  1. Total absorption of tailored incoming signals by black holes

    gr-qc 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Tailored temporal modulation of incoming signals enables complete absorption by black holes via excitation of complex-plane resonances, storing energy for later release through virtual absorption modes.

  2. Two types of quasinormal modes of Casadio-Fabbri-Mazzacurati brane-world black holes

    gr-qc 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Quasinormal modes of massive scalars in CFM brane-world black holes split into two types, with modes disappearing at critical masses where real or imaginary frequency parts reach zero.

  3. Correspondence between quasinormal modes and grey-body factors of Schwarzschild--Tangherlini black holes

    gr-qc 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Quasinormal modes correspond well to grey-body factors for vector and tensor perturbations of Schwarzschild-Tangherlini black holes in all dimensions, but fail for scalar l=2 modes in D≥7 because of multiple potential...

  4. Quasinormal modes of black holes and black branes

    gr-qc 2009-05 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    Quasinormal modes are eigenmodes of dissipative gravitational systems whose spectra encode near-equilibrium transport coefficients in dual quantum field theories and enable tests of general relativity through gravitat...

  5. Quasinormal modes of black holes: from astrophysics to string theory

    gr-qc 2011-02 accept novelty 1.0

    This review surveys calculations and interpretations of quasinormal modes for black holes in astrophysics, higher dimensions, and holographic duals without presenting new results.
