Purely imaginary quasinormal modes of the Kerr geometry

Abstract: We present a method for determining the purely imaginary quasinormal modes of the Kerr geometry. Such modes have previously been explored, but we show that prior results are incorrect. The method we present, based on the theory of Heun polynomials, is very general and can be applied to a broad class of problems, making it potentially useful to all branches of physics. Furthermore, our application provides an example where the method of matched asymptotic expansions seems to have failed. A deeper understanding … Show more

“…This feature is more pronounced in the case of κ(α = 0) = +1 (upper row) than in the case of κ(α = 0) = −1 (lower row). These oscillations in the imaginary and real part combined with a drift in the complex plane lead to a looping behaviour found previously for scalar, vector and tensor quasinormal modes [17,18,20,47,48]. Although not shown in figure 1, this looping behaviour is also present when varying α if one fixes η with a large enough value.…”

“…The high overtone number modes are dense around the axis and thus we cannot be sure what are the exact overtone numbers. These modes with vanishing real part behave similarly to tensor perturbations [48].…”

“…It is worth mentioning at this point that it has appeared in the literature a few works studying purely damped modes of the Kerr black hole in asymptotically flat spacetimes [87,88]. They report on the appearance of frequencies that have the same behavior as presented in Fig.…”

“…The purely imaginary quasinormal modes cor-respond to a special set of purely damped modes, which are distinguished from regular complex ones with non-vanishing real part. Although purely imaginary quasinormal modes have not often been reported in the literature, their existence was found for various black holes [85][86][87][88][89][90][91]. Specifically, it was demonstrated that the type of purely imaginary modes can be used to characterize electromagnetic and axial perturbations of large asymptotically AdS black holes [85].…”

“…Specifically, it was demonstrated that the type of purely imaginary modes can be used to characterize electromagnetic and axial perturbations of large asymptotically AdS black holes [85]. In the context of Kerr geometry, there is a set of quasinormal modes precisely existing on the negative imaginary axis [87]. Interestingly, purely imaginary quasinormal modes were found to play an important role in violating the strong cosmic censorship conjecture for near-extremal dS black holes [88,90].…”
