A fundamental bound on the relaxation time \tau of a perturbed thermodynamical system has recently been derived, \tau \geq \hbar/\pi T, where $T$ is the system's temperature. We demonstrate analytically that black holes saturate this bound…
The universal relaxation bound suggests that the relaxation times of perturbed thermodynamical systems is bounded from below by the simple time-times-temperature (TTT) quantum relation $\tau\times T\geq {{\hbar}\over{\pi}}$. It is known…

We study analytically the relaxation phase of perturbed, rapidly rotating black holes. In particular, we derive a simple formula for the fundamental quasinormal resonances of near-extremal Kerr black holes. The formula is expressed in terms…
It is shown that the Hod's universal bound on the relaxation time of a perturbed system \cite{hod} can be derived from a well-known condition for a relaxing quantity to be classical in the fluctuation theory.
We present a dynamical systems approach to black hole thermodynamic criticality based on bifurcation equations. We construct an effective thermodynamic landscape in which black holes relax toward equilibrium fixed points. To describe this…
Recently Hod proposes a lower bound on the relaxation time of a perturbed thermodynamic system. For gravitational systems this bound transforms into a condition on the fundamental quasinormal frequency. We test the bound in some spacetimes…
The quasinormal resonance spectrum $\{\omega_n(\mu,q,M,Q)\}_{n=0}^{n=\infty}$ of charged massive scalar fields in the charged Reissner-Nordstr\"om black-hole spacetime is studied {\it analytically} in the large-coupling regime $qQ\gg M\mu$…
We give an explicit expression for the frequencies of slowly damped quasinormal modes of near-extreme Kerr black holes. It follows from this expression that the near-extreme Kerr holes obey the Hod's bound: in the limit of maximal rotation,…
According to the third law of Thermodynamics, it takes an infinite number of steps for any object, including black-holes, to reach zero temperature. For any physical system, the process of cooling to absolute zero corresponds to erasing…
We present evidence for the existence of a quantum lower bound on the Bekenstein-Hawking temperature of black holes. The suggested bound is supported by a gedanken experiment in which a charged particle is dropped into a Kerr black hole. It…
A general bound on the Lyapunov exponent of a quantum system is given by $\lambda_L\leq2\pi\,T/\hbar$, where $T$ is the system temperature, as established by Maldacena, Shenker, and Stanford (MSS). This upper bound is saturated when the…
It is shown that in the extreme limit with a zero surface gravity but nonzero local temperature the limiting metric of a generic static black hole is determined by a metric induced on a horizon and one function of two coordinates,…
We demonstrate that quantum mechanics entails a fundamental lower bound on the thermalization time $\tau$ of any system. At finite temperature, we show that $\tau$ is bounded by half the Planckian dissipation time, $\tau \geq \tau_{\rm…
The fundamental resonances of rapidly rotating Kerr black holes in the eikonal limit are derived analytically. We show that there exists a critical value, $\mu_c=\sqrt{{{15-\sqrt{193}}\over{2}}}$, for the dimensionless ratio $\mu\equiv m/l$…
We revisit our earlier work and investigate the bound state perturbations in the interior of the Schwarzschild black hole. The bound sates are defined as the perturbations in the interior of the black hole with an imaginary spectrum which…
Relaxation rates provide important characteristics both for classical and quantum processes. Essentially they control how fast the system thermalizes, equilibrates, {decoheres, and/or dissipates}. Moreover, very often they are directly…
We conjecture a universal upper bound to the entropy of a rotating system. The entropy bound follows from application of the generalized second law of thermodynamics to an idealized gedanken experiment in which an entropy-bearing rotating…
An analytical prediction is established of how an isolated many-body quantum system relaxes towards its thermal long-time limit under the action of a time-independent perturbation, but still remaining sufficiently close to a reference case…
