Thermal Origin of Black Hole Quasinormal Modes
D. Giataganas, G. F. Giudice, A. Kehagias +2
When a black hole rings after a merger, it emits gravitational waves at characteristic frequencies known as quasinormal modes (QNMs). In the eikonal limit, these modes are governed…

Black Hole Photon Rings Saturate the Quantum Chaos Bound
D. Giataganas, G. F. Giudice, A. Kehagias +2
We study the quantum chaos bound in the photon ring region surrounding black holes. By evaluating the Lyapunov exponent associated with unstable null geodesics in a broad class of…
