Quasinormal Modes, the Area Spectrum, and Black Hole Entropy
Quasinormal Modes, the Area Spectrum, and Black Hole Entropy
The results of loop quantum gravity concerning geometric operators and black hole entropy are beset by an ambiguity labeled by the Immirzi parameter. We use a result from classical gravity concerning the quasinormal mode spectrum of a black hole to fix this parameter in a new way. As a result …
