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 space time dimension.
