Area Spectrum of Near Extremal Black Branes from Quasi-normal Modes

Abstract

Motivated by the recent interest in quantization of black hole area spectrum, we consider the area spectrum of near extremal black $3-$branes. Based on the proposal by Bekenstein and others that the black hole area spectrum is discrete and equally spaced, we implement Kunstatter's method to derive the area spectrum for the near extremal black $3-$branes. The result for the area of event horizon although discrete, is not equally spaced.
