Universal Bound on Dynamical Relaxation Times and Black-Hole Quasinormal Ringing
read the original abstract
From information theory and thermodynamic considerations a universal bound on the relaxation time $\tau$ of a perturbed system is inferred, $\tau \geq \hbar/\pi T$, where $T$ is the system's temperature. We prove that black holes comply with the bound; in fact they actually {\it saturate} it. Thus, when judged by their relaxation properties, black holes are the most extreme objects in nature, having the maximum relaxation rate which is allowed by quantum theory.

Black Hole Photon Rings Saturate the Quantum Chaos Bound
Photon rings around black holes saturate the quantum chaos bound via Lyapunov exponents of null geodesics and OTOCs in the near-ring region.

Echoes of a hairy black hole from gravitational decoupling
Axial perturbations around a hairy black hole from gravitational decoupling produce echo-like gravitational-wave signals that arise dynamically from a double-peak trapping cavity in the effective potential.
