We exactly calculate the quasinormal frequencies of the electromagnetic and Klein-Gordon perturbations propagating in a five-dimensional dilatonic black hole. Furthermore we exactly find the quasinormal frequencies of the massive Dirac field. Using these results we study the linear stability of this black hole. We compare our results for the quasinormal frequencies and for the linear stability ...

We study the asymptotic quasinormal modes for the scalar perturbation of the noncommutative geometry inspired Schwarzschild black hole in (3+1) dimensions. We have considered M ≥ M0, which effectively correspond to a single horizon Schwarzschild black hole with correction due to noncommutativity. We have shown that for this situation the real part of the asymptotic quasinormal frequency is prop...

There is a well-known, intuitive geometric correspondence between high-frequency quasinormal modes of Schwarzschild black holes and null geodesics that reside on the light ring (often called spherical photon orbits): the real part of the mode’s frequency relates to the geodesic’s orbital frequency, and the imaginary part of the frequency corresponds to the Lyapunov exponent of the orbit. For sl...

We present the quasinormal frequencies of the massive scalar field in the background of a Schwarzchild black hole surrounded by quintessence with the third-order WKB method. The mass of the scalar field u plays an important role in studying the quasinormal frequencies, the real part of the frequencies increases linearly as mass u increases, while the imaginary part in absolute value decreases l...

We investigate the quasinormal modes for gravitational perturbations of rotating black holes in four dimensional Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime. The study of the quasinormal frequencies related to these modes is relevant to the AdS/CFT correspondence. Although results have been obtained for Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordstrom AdS black holes, quasinormal frequencies of Kerr-AdS black holes are...

Recent observational results suggest that the universe in large scale is described by an Einstein equation with an (at least effective) cosmological constant. In this context, the dynamics of fields in spacetimes which are not asymptotically flat has taken on new importance. Quasinormal modes are a fundamental part of this dynamics. In general, perturbations in the spacetime exterior of a black...

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 ...

The study of quasinormal modes in a black hole background spacetime has a long history [1]-[19]. It is shown that their frequencies and damping times are entirely fixed by the black hole parameters and independent of the initial perturbations. Therefore, it is certain that quasinormal modes carry the characteristic information about a black hole and it can provide a new and direct way for astro...

We present the quasinormal frequencies of the massive scalar field in the background of a Schwarzchild black hole surrounded by quintessence with the third-order WKB method. The mass of the scalar field u plays an important role in studying the quasinormal frequencies, the real part of the frequencies increases linearly as mass u increases, while the imaginary part in absolute value decreases l...

We employ WKB approximation up to the third order to determine the low-lying quasinormal modes for Weyl neutrino field in R-N black holes, which are the most relevant to the evolution of the field around a black hole in the intermediate stage. It is showed that the quasinormal mode frequencies for Weyl neutrino field in R-N black holes are different from those in Schwartzchild black holes ownin...
