Echoes and quasinormal modes for static loop quantum black bounces
Abstract
We investigate scalar perturbations of the static loop quantum black bounce (LQBB) spacetime with multipole index , focusing on time-domain signals and fundamental quasinormal frequencies (QNFs). The LQBB model provides a unified description of regular black holes (RBHs) and traversable wormholes, governed by the quantum parameter and the bounce parameter . Using the finite difference method, we find no echoes for the displayed RBH configurations with a single-barrier effective potential, whereas clear echoes are produced by the potential well structure in selected traversable wormhole configurations. The QNFs obtained from the Prony method and the direct integration method are in good agreement. In the RBH case, increasing or leads to a slower decay. In the wormhole case, the QNFs depend non-monotonically on the model parameters, and the emergence of echoes is closely tied to the effective potential profile. These results show that the LQBB spacetime provides a useful framework for studying wave dynamics in RBHs and traversable wormholes, and for clarifying how horizon and throat structures affect ringdown and echoes.
