A mystery of black-hole gravitational resonances
نویسنده
چکیده
More than three decades ago, Detweiler provided an analytical formula for the gravitational resonant frequencies of rapidly-rotating Kerr black holes. In the present work we shall discuss an important discrepancy between the famous analytical prediction of Detweiler and the recent numerical results of Zimmerman et al. In addition, we shall refute the claim that recently appeared in the physics literature that the Detweiler-Teukolsky-Press resonance equation for the characteristic gravitational eigenfrequencies of rapidly-rotating Kerr black holes is not valid in the regime of damped quasinormal resonances with =ω/TBH 1 (here ω and TBH are respectively the characteristic quasinormal resonant frequency of the Kerr black hole and its Bekenstein-Hawking temperature). The main goal of the present paper is to highlight and expose this important black-hole quasinormal mystery (that is, the intriguing discrepancy between the analytical and numerical results regarding the gravitational quasinormal resonance spectra of rapidly-rotating Kerr black holes).

The main purpose of this research is portfolio optimization in Tehran securities exchange using the black hole algorithm and the Gravitational Research algorithm. We also propose an algorithm named Hybrid Algorithm which combines the two algorithms above to cover the weaknesses of these two algorithms. Finally we compare the results with the Markowitz model and choose the optimal algorithm.<br ...
متن کاملBlack Hole Resonances or no Black Holes due to Large Extra Dimensions with Gravitational Fixed Point?
It has been put forward that the existence of a non-Gaussian fixed point in general relativity might cure the ultraviolet problems of this theory in a quantum description. Such a fixed point is connected to an effective running of the gravitational coupling. We calculate the effect of such an effective coupling on the black hole production cross-section in models with large extra dimensions.
متن کاملHigh-energy gravitational scattering and black hole resonances
Aspects of super-planckian gravitational scattering and black hole formation are investigated, largely via a partial-wave representation. At large and decreasing impact parameters, amplitudes are expected to be governed by single graviton exchange, and then by eikonalized graviton exchange, for which partial-wave amplitudes are derived. In the nearSchwarzschild regime, perturbation theory fails...
متن کاملTransient resonances in the inspirals of point particles into black holes.
We show that transient resonances occur in the two-body problem in general relativity for spinning black holes in close proximity to one another when one black hole is much more massive than the other. These resonances occur when the ratio of polar and radial orbital frequencies, which is slowly evolving under the influence of gravitational radiation reaction, passes through a low order rationa...
متن کاملThe Physics of Khz Qpos—strong Gravity's Coupled Anharmonic Oscillators
We explain the origin of the puzzling high frequency peaks (QPOs) in the variability power spectra of accreting neutron stars and black holes as a non-linear 1:2 or 1:3 resonance between orbital and radial epicyclic motion. These resonances are present because the gravitational field deviates strongly from a Newtonian 1/r potential. Our theory agrees with the recently reported observations of t...
