The quantum spectra of area and entropy of higher dimensional linear dilaton black holes in various theories via the quasinormal modes method are studied. It is shown that quasinormal modes of these black holes can reveal themselves when a specific condition holds. Finally, we obtain that a higher dimensional linear dilaton black hole has equidistant area and entropy spectra, and both of them a...

We explore the relationship between classical quasinormal mode frequencies and black hole quantum mechanics in 2+1 dimensions. Following a suggestion of Hod, we identify the real part of the quasinormal frequencies with the fundamental quanta of black hole mass and angular momentum. We find that this identification leads to the correct quantum behavior of the asymptotic symmetry algebra, and th...

Abstract: The neutrino quasinormal modes of the Reissner-Nordström (RN) black hole are investigated using continued fraction approach. We find, for large angular quantum number, that the quasinormal frequencies become evenly spaced and the spacing of the real part depends on the charge of the black hole and that of the imaginary part is zero. We then find that the quasinormal frequencies in the...

We discuss simple integration methods for the calculation of rotating black hole scattering resonances both in the complex frequency plane (quasinormal modes) and the complex angular momentum plane (Regge poles). Our numerical schemes are based on variations of “phase-amplitude” methods. In particular, we discuss the Prüfer transformation, where the original (frequency domain) Teukolsky wave eq...

Linear field perturbations of a black hole are described by the Green function of the wave equation that they obey. After Fourier decomposing the Green function, its two natural contributions are given by poles (quasinormal modes) and a largely unexplored branch cut in the complex frequency plane. We present new analytic methods for calculating the branch cut on a Schwarzschild black hole for a...

We study analytically quasinormal modes in a wide variety of black hole spacetimes, including d–dimensional asymptotically flat spacetimes and non-asymptotically flat spacetimes (particular attention has been paid to the four dimensional case). We extend the analytical calculation to include first-order corrections to analytical expressions for quasinormal mode frequencies by making use of a mo...

We obtain an analytic expression for the highly damped asymptotic quasinormal mode frequencies of the d ≥ 5-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole modified by the GaussBonnet term, which appears in string derived models of gravity. The analytic expression is obtained under the string inspired assumption that there exists a mimimum length scale in the system and in the limit when the coupling in f...

In the previous paper (Li, X. Z., Xi, P., Zhai, X. H.: Phys. Lett. B666, 125-130 (2008)), we show the solutions of Einstein equations with static spherically-symmetric quintessence-like matter surrounding a global monopole. Furthermore, this monopole become a black hole with quintessence-like matter and a deficit solid angle when it is swallowed by an ordinary black hole. We study its quasinorm...

We obtain the quasinormal modes for tensor perturbations of Gauss-Bonnet black holes in d = 5, 7, 8 dimension using third order WKB formalism. The black hole in d = 6 is not considered because of the fact that it is unstable to tensor mode perturbations. For the uncharged Gauss-Bonnet black hole the real part of the frequency increases as the GaussBonnet coupling (α) increases. The imaginary pa...

The d-dimensional string generated gravity models lead to Einstein-Maxwell equations with quadratic order correction term called the Gauss-Bonnet term. We calculate the quasinormal modes for the d-dimensional charged black hole in the framework of this model. The quasinormal spectrum essentially depends upon the Gauss-Bonnet coupling parameter α which is related to the string scale, and is tota...
