Motivated by the recent interest in quantization of black hole area spectrum, we consider the area spectrum of Kerr and extremal Kerr black holes. Based on the proposal by Bekenstein and others that the black hole area spectrum is discrete and equally spaced, we implement Kunstatter's method to derive the area spectrum for the Kerr and extremal Kerr black holes. The real part of the quasinormal frequencies of Kerr black hole used for this computation is of the form mΩ where Ω is the angular velocity of the black hole horizon. The resulting spectrum is discrete but not as expected uniformly spaced. Thus, we infer that the function describing the real part of quasinormal frequencies of Kerr black hole is not the correct one. This conclusion is in agreement with the numerical results for the highly damped quasinormal modes of Kerr black hole recently presented by Berti, Cardoso and Yoshida. On the contrary, extremal Kerr black hole is shown to have a discrete area spectrum which in addition is evenly spaced. The area spacing derived in our analysis for the extremal Kerr black hole area spectrum is not proportional to ln 3. Therefore, it does not give support to Hod's statement that the area spectrum [Formula: see text] should be valid for a generic Kerr–Newman black hole.

Calculations of black hole entropy based on the counting of modes of a quantum field propagating in a Schwarzschild background need to be regularized in the vicinity of the horizon. To obtain the Bekenstein–Hawking result, the short distance cut-off needs to be fixed by hand. In this note, we give an argument for obtaining this cut-off in a natural fashion. We do this by modeling the black hole by its set of quasinormal modes (QNMs). The horizon then becomes a extended region: the quantum ergosphere. The interaction of the quantum ergosphere and the quantum field provides a natural regularization mechanism. The width of the quantum ergosphere provides the right cut-off for the entropy calculation. We arrive at a dual picture of black hole entropy. The entropy of the black hole is given both by the entropy of the quantum field in the bulk and the dynamical degrees of freedom on the horizon.

In this paper, we have studied the area and mass spectrum of a Lifshitz black hole in 2+1 dimensions. This black hole is obtained for conformal gravity in 2+1 dimensions and is asymptotic to z = 0 Lifshitz spacetime. Quasinormal modes (QNM) frequencies of the conformally coupled scalar field perturbations are employed for the purpose of analyzing the area spectrum of the black hole. We have used two methods: modified Hod's conjecture and Kunsttater's method. In both methods, the area and the mass spectrum is shown to be equally spaced. We compared our results with the area spectrum of the BTZ black hole and the z = 3 black hole and made suggestions to extend this work in the future.

The area spectrum and entropy spectrum of the modified Schwarzschild black hole in gravity's rainbow are investigated via the quasinormal modes of the black hole. Using the modified Hod's method and Kunstatter's method that employ the proper frequency from the imaginary part other than the real part of the quasinormal modes, the area and entropy spacing of the black hole are calculated. The results obtained from these two methods agree with each other and the equally spaced area and entropy spectrum are derived. The obtained area and entropy spectrum are independent of the energies of test particles and are the same as from the usual Schwarzschild black hole.

Motivated by the new interpretation on quasinormal modes by Maggiore, we investigate the quantization of the extreme Reissner–Nordström black hole in the four-dimensional spacetime. Following Kunstatter's method, we derive the equally spaced area spectrum and the entropy, however the spacing differs from Setare's result via Hod's proposal. Moreover, our result is in full agreement with Bekenstein's result as well as the claim that black hole's area is equidistant in Einstein's Gravity theory by Wei et al.
