Abstract

We investigate scalar quasinormal modes and ringdown signals of a rotating loop quantum gravity black hole constructed via the revised Newman--Janis algorithm. The spacetime incorporates two quantum parameters, the polymeric parameter PP and the minimal area parameter a0a_0, and reduces to the Kerr spacetime in the classical limit. Using the sixth-order WKB approximation and time-domain integration, we analyze the effective potential, quasinormal mode spectrum, and ringdown dynamics. The polymeric parameter PP systematically reduces the oscillation frequency Re(ω)\mathrm{Re}(\omega), while the spin parameter aa enhances it. The time-domain signals exhibit clear dependence on the multipole number \ell and overtone index nn. Our results provide a theoretical framework for understanding the effects of loop quantum gravity corrections on black hole perturbations and gravitational-wave ringdown signals.
