We obtain an analytic expression for the highly damped asymptotic quasinormal mode frequencies in dimensions d ≥ 5 of the Gauss-Bonnet black hole, which appears in string derived models of gravity. The analytic expression is obtained in the limit when the coupling in front of the Gauss-Bonnet term is small. Although there are several similarities of this geometry with that of the Schwarzschild ...

In this work we study the Dirac quasinormal modes of higher dimensional charged black holes. Higher dimensional Reissner-Nördstrom type black holes as well as charged black holes in Einstein GaussBonnet theories are studied for Fermionic perturbations using WKB methods. A comparative study of the quasinormal modes in the two different theories of gravity has been performed. The beahviour of the...

In the context of searching for a quantum theory of gravity, the quasinormal modes of black holes has become a promising area of study that may link a quantum theory of gravity with classical general relativity. Of special interest are the asymptotic real values of the quasinormal frequencies, which have recently been shown to converge to an analytically predicted value. In this paper, we will ...

The spectrum of Hawking radiation by quantum fields in the curved spacetime is continuous, so the explanation of Hawking radiation using quasinormal modes can be suspected to be impossible. We find that quasinormal modes do not explain the relation between the state observed in a region far away from a black hole and the short distance behavior of the state on the horizon. Loop quantum gravity ...

Using the third-order WKB approximation, we evaluate the quasinormal frequencies of massless scalar field perturbation around the black hole which is surrounded by the static and spherically symmetric quintessence. Our result shows that due to the presence of quintessence, the scalar field damps more rapidly. Moreover, we also note that the quintessential state parameter ǫ (the ratio of pressur...

We show how one can use a nonlocal boundary condition, which is compatible with standard frequency domain methods, for numerical calculation of quasinormal modes in optical cavities coupled to waveguides. In addition, we extend the definition of the quasinormal mode norm by use of the theory of divergent series to provide a framework for modeling of optical phenomena in such coupled cavity-wave...

Disturbing of a spacetime geometry may result in the appearance of an oscillating and damped radiation the so-called quasinormal modes. Their periods of oscillations and damping coefficients carry unique information about the mass and the angular momentum, that would allow one to identify the source of the gravitational field. In this talk we present recent bounds on the diffused energy, applic...

We compute characteristic (quasinormal) frequencies corresponding to decay of a massive charged scalar field in a Reissner-Nordstrom black hole background. It proves that, contrary to the behavior at very late times, at the stage of quasinormal ringing the neutral perturbations will damp slower than the charged ones. In the limit of the extremal black hole the damping rate of charged and neutra...

Complex frequencies associated with quasinormal modes for large ReissnerNordström Anti-de Sitter black holes have been computed. These frequencies have close relation to the black hole charge and do not linearly scale with the black hole temperature as in Schwarzschild Anti-de Sitter case. In terms of AdS/CFT correspondence, we found that the bigger the black hole charge is, the quicker for the...

We study quasinormal modes of massless scalar and fermion fields in the near extremal Reissner-Nordström black hole, and relate them to Choptuik scaling form following a recently proposed analytic approach. For both massless cases, quasinormal modes are shown to be proportional to the black hole horizon and the Hawking temperature, and the critical exponents are the same, although for the fermi...
