Abstract

Utilizing the Hamiltonian constraints approach, a quantum-corrected solution has been derived \cite{Zhang:2024ney}, which describes either a regular black hole or a traversable wormhole, contingent upon the value of the quantum parameter. In this work, we compute the quasinormal modes associated with axial gravitational and test fields' perturbations of these objects. We see that due to quantum corrections near the event horizon, the first several overtones deviate from their Schwarzschild values at an increasing rate. The transition between the black hole and wormhole states is marked by modifications in the late-time signal. Our findings reveal that the fundamental quasinormal modes of quantum-corrected black holes exhibit only slight deviations from those of the classical Schwarzschild solution. However, at the transition, the spectrum undergoes significant changes, with the wormhole state characterized by exceptionally long-lived quasinormal modes. In addition, we calculate absorption cross-sections of partial waves, grey-body factors and energy emission rates of Hawking radiation.
