Quasinormal Modes of Near Extremal Black Branes
نویسنده
چکیده
We find quasinormal modes of near extremal black branes by solving a singular boundary value problem for the Heun equation. The corresponding eigenvalues determine the dispersion law for the collective excitations in the dual strongly coupled N = 4 SYM at finite temperature. In memory of Aleksandr Sergeevich Vshivtsev

5 Area Spectrum of Near Extremal Black Branes from Quasi - normal Modes
Motivated by the recent interest in quantization of black hole area spectrum, we consider the area spectrum of near extremal black 3−branes. Based on the proposal by Bekenstein and others that the black hole area spectrum is discrete and equally spaced, we implement Kunstatter's method to derive the area spectrum for the near extremal black 3−branes. The result for the area of event horizon alt...
متن کاملQuasinormal modes of black holes and black branes
Quasinormal modes are eigenmodes of dissipative systems. Perturbations of classical gravitational backgrounds involving black holes or branes naturally lead to quasinormal modes. The analysis and classification of the quasinormal spectra requires solving non-Hermitian eigenvalue problems for the associated linear differential equations. Within the recently developed gauge-gravity duality, these...
متن کاملQuasinormal Modes, Reduced Phase Space and Area Spectrum of Black Holes
Motivated by the recent interest in quantization of black hole area spectrum, we consider the area spectrum of Schwarzschild, BTZ, extremal Reissner-Nordström, near extremal Schwarzschild-de Sitter, and Kerr black holes. Based on the proposal by Bekenstein and others that the black hole area spectrum is discrete and equally spaced, we implement Kunstatter's method to derive the area spectrum fo...
متن کاملQuasinormal modes of nearly extremal Kerr spacetimes: spectrum bifurcation and power-law ringdown
We provide an in-depth investigation of quasinormal-mode oscillations of Kerr black holes with nearly extremal angular momenta. We first discuss in greater detail the two distinct types of quasinormal mode frequencies presented in a recent paper [1]. One set of modes, that we call “zerodamping modes”, has vanishing imaginary part in the extremal limit, and exists for all corotating perturbation...
متن کاملStretched horizons, quasiparticles and quasinormal modes
We propose that stretched horizons can be described in terms of a gas of non-interacting quasiparticles. The quasiparticles are unstable, with a lifetime set by the imaginary part of the lowest quasinormal mode frequency. If the horizon arises from an AdS/CFT style duality the quasiparticles are also the effective low-energy degrees of freedom of the finite-temperature CFT. We analyze a large c...
