In a recent paper [11], R.E. Curto, S.H. Lee and J. Yoon asked the following question. Let A be subnormal operator, assume that A2 is quasinormal. Does it follow quasinormal? this paper, we answer question in affirmative. fact, prove more general result nth roots of quasinormal operators are Research on problem has led us to new criterion for semispectral measure half-line spectral, written ter...

We present detailed calculations of the quasinormal modes of ReissnerNordström black holes. While the first few, slowly damped, modes depend on the charge of the black hole in a relatively simple way, we find that the rapidly damped modes show several peculiar features. The higher modes generally spiral into the value for the extreme black hole as the charge increases. We also discuss the possi...

We compute the quasinormal modes associated with decay of the massless scalar filed around a small Schwarzschild-Anti-de-Sitter black hole. The computations shows that when the horizon radius is much less than the anti-de-Sitter radius, the imaginary part of the frequency goes to zero as r d−2 + while the real part of ω decreases to its minimum and then goes to d − 1. Thus the quasinormal modes...

We study the poles of the retarded Green functions of a holographic superconductor. The model shows a second order phase transition where a charged scalar operator condenses and a U(1) symmetry is spontaneously broken. The poles of the holographic Green functions are the quasinormal modes in an AdS black hole background. We study the spectrum of quasinormal frequencies in the broken phase, wher...

We demonstrate that an equidistant area spectrum for the link variables in loop quantum gravity can reproduce both the thermodynamics and the quasinormal mode properties of black holes. On leave from Physics Department, University of Ioannina, Greece.

The genetic variation and genetic load due to virility, the male reproductive component of fitness, was measured in Drosophila melanogaster and D. pseudoobscura using males homozygous and heterozygous for the second chromosome of each species. Virility was determined in a female-choice, male mating competition experiment where both mating propensity and fertility were taken into account.--The m...

Quasinormal modes of asymptotically AdS black holes can be interpreted as poles of retarded correlators in the dual gauge theory. To determine the response of the system to small external perturbations it is not enough to know the location of the poles: one also needs to know the residues. We compute them for R-charge currents and find that they are complex except for the hydrodynamic mode, who...

A subgroup H of a group G is called ss-quasinormal in G if there is a subgroup B of G such that G = HB and H permutes with every Sylow subgroup of B; H is called weakly s-permutable in G if there is a subnormal subgroup T of G such that G = HT and H ∩ T ≤ HsG, where HsG is the subgroup of H generated by all those subgroups of H which are s-permutable in G. We fix in every non-cyclic Sylow subgr...

We initiate the study of equilibration rates of strongly coupled quark-gluon plasmas in the absence of conformal symmetry. We primarily consider a supersymmetric mass deformation within N=2^{*} gauge theory and use holography to compute quasinormal modes of a variety of scalar operators, as well as the energy-momentum tensor. In each case, the lowest quasinormal frequency, which provides an app...
