Exact quasinormal modes for a special class of black holes

High Energy Physics - Theory 2014-11-20 v1 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

Analytic exact expressions for the quasinormal modes of scalar and electromagnetic perturbations around a special class of black holes are found in d\ge3 dimensions. It is shown that, the size of the black hole provides a bound for the angular momentum of the perturbation. Quasinormal modes appear when this bound is fulfilled, otherwise the excitations become purely damped.
