Quantization of Higher Dimensional Linear Dilaton Black Hole Area/Entropy From Quasinormal Modes

Abstract

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 spacetime dimension.
