Abstract:
Kerr-AdS spacetimes are rotating black hole solutions to the Einstein equations with negative cosmological constant. Recently, time-periodic approximate solutions (quasimodes) for the Klein-Gordon equation were constructed on these spacetimes by Holzegel-Smulevici as a way of proving lower bounds on uniform energy decay. I will show how these quasimodes can be used to exhibit sequences of quasinormal modes (outgoing waves) at complex frequencies which converge exponentially to the real axis.Date: Friday, May 06, 2016
