Identifying Exceptional Points in Black Hole Ringdowns
Zhen-Xiao Zhang, Chen Lan, Yi Wang
Abstract
Ringdown spectroscopy probes black hole (BH) dynamics, and exceptional points (EPs) can reveal underlying degrees of freedom. We develop a procedure to identify EPs in ringdowns using a time-weighted Jordan term and a splitting bound. For relative Jordan excitation proportional to separation, we derive a sixth-order squared distance between split and EP waveforms after fitting the resonance center. Independent constraints on these quantities can restore fourth order. Complete waveforms show that omitting ordinary responses can strengthen EP evidence and spuriously tighten splitting bounds.
