We discuss the possibility that quantum black holes have discrete mass spectrum. Different arguments leading to this conclusion are considered, particularly the decoupling between left and right sectors in string theory - the so-called…

Using the quasi-normal modes frequency of near extremal Schwarzschild-de Sitter black holes, we obtain area and entropy spectrum for black hole horizon. By using Boher-Sommerfeld quantization for an adiabatic invariant $I=\int {dE\over…

Using a discrete spectrum proposed for expectation values of canonical variables in black hole coherent states, the semiclassical entropy associated with the Schwarzschild space-time is derived to be the area of the apparent horizon.

The recent proposal of Maggiore that the periodicity of a black hole may be the origin of area quantization law is analyzed in the context of black holes in string theory. We use the period of motion of an outgoing wave, which is shown to…

We give a simple argument showing that in any sensible quantum field theory the masses of black holes cannot assume continuous values and must be quantized. Our proof solely relies on Poincare-invariance of the asymptotic background, and is…

Classically, the black hole (BH) horizon is a rigid surface of infinite redshift; whereas the uncertainty principle dictates that the semiclassical (would-be) horizon cannot be fixed in space nor can it exhibit any divergences. We propose…

Noncommutative black holes in higher dimensions are investigated in the context of holographic principle. Quantization rules for the discrete mass spectrum are derived and compared with the continuous spectrum in the literature. Because of…

Black-hole quasinormal modes (QNM) have been the subject of much recent attention, with the hope that these oscillation frequencies may shed some light on the elusive theory of quantum gravity. We compare numerical results for the QNM…

The quantum mechanics of N slowly-moving charged BPS black holes in five-dimensional ${\cal N}=1$ supergravity is considered. The moduli space metric of the N black holes is derived and shown to admit 4 supersymmetries. A near-horizon limit…

In transforming from Schwarzschild to Euclidean Rindler coordinates the Schwarzschild time transforms to a periodic angle. As is well-known, this allows one to introduce the Hawking temperature and is an origin of black hole thermodynamics.…

Working in a semi-classical setting, we consider solutions of the Einstein equations that exhibit light trapping in finite time according to distant observers. In spherical symmetry, we construct near-horizon quantities from the assumption…

Motivated by novel results in the theory of black-hole quantization, we study {\it analytically} the quasinormal modes (QNM) of ({\it rotating}) Kerr black holes. The black-hole oscillation frequencies tend to the asymptotic value…

Simple arguments related to the entropy of black holes strongly constrain the spectrum of the area operator for a Schwarzschild black hole in loop quantum gravity. In particular, this spectrum is fixed completely by the assumption that the…

The entropy of a black hole can be obtained by counting states in loop quantum gravity. The dominant term depends on the Immirzi parameter involved in the quantization and is proportional to the area of the horizon, while there is a…

Following the simple proposal by He and Ma for quantization of a black hole(BH) by Bohr's idea about the atoms, we discussed the solvability of the wave equation for such a BH. We superficial solved the associated Schrodinger equation. The…

A conjecture by Hod states that for the black hole horizon the spacing of its area spectrum is determined by the asymptotic value of its quasinormal frequencies. Recently to overcome some difficulties, Maggiore proposes some changes to the…

The recent speculation of Maggiore that the periodicity of a black hole may be the origin of the area quantization law is confirmed. We exclusively utilize the period of motion of an outgoing wave, which is shown to be related to the…

The maximum entropy of a quantized surface is demonstrated to be proportional to the surface area in the classical limit. The general structure of the horizon spectrum and the value of the Barbero-Immirzi parameter are found. The discrete…

We suggest an interpretation for the highly damped QNM frequencies of the spherically symmetric multi-horizon spacetimes (Reissner-Nordstrom, Schwarzschild-deSitter, Reissner-Nordstrom-deSitter) following Maggiore's proposal about the link…

Quantum aspects of black holes may have observational imprints on their absorption and emission spectrum. In this work, we consider the possibility of non-uniform area quantization and its effects on the phasing of gravitational waveform…
