A Bohr-Sommerfeld equation is derived for the highly-damped quasinormal mode frequencies omega(n>>1) of rotating black holes. It may be written as 2\int_C(p_r+ip_0)dr=(n+1/2)h, where p_r is the canonical momentum conjugate to the radial coordinate r along null geodesics of energy hbar*omega and angular momentum hbar*m, p_0=O(omega^0), and the contour C connects two complex turning points of p_r. The solutions are omega(n) = - m*omega_0 - i(phi + n*delta), where {omega_0,delta}>0 are functions of the black-hole parameters alone. Some physical implications are discussed.

  1. Bound-State Resonances of Schwarzschild-de Sitter Black Holes: Analytic Treatment

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    SdS black holes have only finitely many bound-state resonances with closed-form energies, contrasting the infinite delocalizing spectrum of asymptotically flat Schwarzschild black holes.

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    SdS black holes support only a finite number of bound-state resonance levels with closed-form energies, while asymptotically flat Schwarzschild black holes have infinitely many that delocalize without bound.
