Phys. Rev. D 67, 081501(R) (2003) [3 pages]Kerr black-hole quasinormal frequencies
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 spectrum of the (rotating) Kerr black hole with an exact formula Reω⃗TBHln3+Ωm, which is based on Bohr’s correspondence principle. We find a close agreement between the two. The possible implications of this result to the area spectrum of quantum black holes are discussed. © 2003 The American Physical Society URL:
