A Bohr-Sommerfeld equation is derived for the highly-damped quasinormal mode frequencies omega(n>>1) of rotating black holes. It may be written as 2\int_C(p_r+ip_0)dr=(n+1/2)h, where p_r is the canonical momentum conjugate to the radial…

Rotating black holes when attached to a cosmic string have their rotational energy extracted leading to a change in its spin and mass. The spin of a black hole can be measured using various methods for an accreting black hole in an X-ray…
