We study quasinormal spectrum of massive scalar field in the $D$-dimensional black hole background. We found the qualitatively different dependence on the field mass of the fundamental modes for $D\geq6$. The behaviour of higher modes is qualitatively the same for all $D$. Thus for some particular values of mass (of the field and of the black hole) the spectrum has two dominating oscillations with a very long lifetime. Also we show that the asymptotically high overtones do not depend on the field mass. In addition, we present the generalisation of the Nollert improvement of the continued fraction technique for the numerical calculation of quasi-normal frequencies of $D$-dimensional black holes.

  1. Quasinormal modes of Proca and Maxwell fields in $d$-dimensional Schwarzschild-AdS black holes

    gr-qc 2026-05 conditional novelty 7.0

    Scalar-type Maxwell perturbations in large d≥5 Schwarzschild-AdS black holes exhibit purely imaginary low-frequency quasinormal modes, confirmed numerically and by asymptotic matching.

  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. Long-lived quasinormal modes, shadows and particle motion in four-dimensional quasi-topological gravity

    gr-qc 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Massive scalar quasinormal modes in quasi-topological black holes become long-lived as scalar mass grows, while photon-sphere radius, shadow size, and ISCO exhibit moderate deviations from Schwarzschild.

  5. Telling tails and quasi-resonances in the vicinity of Dymnikova regular black hole

    gr-qc 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Massive scalar perturbations on the Dymnikova regular black hole exhibit growing oscillation frequencies, reduced damping rates leading to quasi-resonances, power-law oscillatory tails, and mass-dependent suppression ...
