In this note we show that this result is probably a numerical coincidence, and that the conjectured correspondence does not straightforwardly generalize to other metrics, such as Kerr or Schwarzschild (anti-)de Sitter. Our calculations do not rule out a relation between dynamical and thermodynamical properties of black holes, but they suggest that such a relation is non-trivial.3 pages, submitted to Phys.Rev.D as a Brief ReportHigh Energy Physics - TheoryGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyQuasinormal modes and thermodynamic phase transitionstext
