We compute the quasinormal modes associated with the decay of the massless scalar field around a small Schwarzschild–anti-de Sitter black hole. The computations show that when the horizon radius is much less than the anti–de Sitter radius, the imaginary part of the frequency goes to zero as r+d-2 while the real part of ω decreases to its minimum and then goes to d-1. Thus the quasinormal modes approach the usual AdS modes in the limit r+→0. This agrees with suggestions of Horowitz and Hubeny [Phys. Rev. D 62, 024027 (2000)].
