Quasi Normal Modes
Abstract
We review different applications of quasinormal modes to black hole physics, string theory and thermalisation in quantum field theory. In particular, we describe the the relation between quasi normal modes of AdS black holes and the time scale for thermalisation in strongly coupled, large N conformal field theory. We also discuss the problem of unitarity within this approach.
