Conformal Field Theory Interpretation of Black Hole Quasi-normal Modes

arXiv:hep-th/0112055 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.88.151301

Abstract

We obtain exact expressions for the quasi-normal modes of various spin for the BTZ black hole. These modes determine the relaxation time of black hole perturbations. Exact agreement is found between the quasi-normal frequencies and the location of the poles of the retarded correlation function of the corresponding perturbations in the dual conformal field theory. This then provides a new quantitative test of the AdS/CFT correspondence.
