Quantization of higher-dimensional linear dilaton black hole area/entropy from quasinormal modes

摘要

The quantum spectra of area and entropy of higher-dimensional linear dilaton black holes in various theories via the quasinormal modes method are studied. It is shown that quasinormal modes of these black holes can reveal themselves when a specific condition holds. Finally, we obtain that a higher-dimensional linear dilaton black hole has equidistant area and entropy spectra, and both of them are independent on the space-time dimension.
