Quantum spectrum of black holes
Abstract
Description
The black hole as the thermodynamical system in equilibrium possesses the periodicity of motion in imaginary time, that allows us to formulate the quasi-classical rule of quantization. The rule yields the equidistant spectrum for the entropy of non-rotating black holes as well as for the appropriately scaled entropy in the case of rotation. We clarify and discuss a role of quasi-normal modes.
