abstract
We use Penrose limits to approximate quasinormal modes with large real frequencies. The Penrose limit associates a plane wave to a region of spacetime near a null geodesic. This plane wave can be argued to geometrically realize the geometrical optics approximation. Therefore, when applied to the bound null orbits around black holes, the Penrose limit can be used to study quasinormal modes. For instance, this Penrose limit point of view makes manifest the symmetry that emerges in the geometrical optics approximation of quasinormal modes in terms of isometries of the resulting plane wave spacetime. We apply the procedure to warped $\rm{AdS}_3$, Schwarzschild black holes and Kerr black holes. In the former we show explicitly how the symmetry algebra contracts to that of the limiting plane wave while in the latter we find the expected agreement with numerically computed quasinormal modes for large (real) frequencies.

Nonlinearities in Kerr Black Hole Ringdown from the Penrose Limit
Kerr quadratic quasi-normal mode amplitudes and phases are computed analytically in the eikonal limit via the Penrose limit, giving an explicit spin-dependent nonlinearity ratio.

Berry Picking: Random Wave Chaos Hierarchy for BPS Microstate Geometries
Wave chaos in BPS microstate geometries strengthens toward black-hole-like throats while geodesic chaos weakens, and weak-coupling CFT Renyi entropies do not share that bulk hierarchy.

Ringdown waves from hairy black holes
Ringdown frequency and damping shifts of Schwarzschild/Kerr black holes are expressed through the density and anisotropic pressures of the surrounding matter, giving a perturbative map from hairy-black-hole models to ...

Black Hole Mergers as the Fastest Photon Ring Scramblers
Merger remnant mass and spin are claimed to maximize the average Lyapunov exponent of the photon shell of an effective Kerr black hole, matching numerical relativity fits within a few percent for q ≲ 20.

Photon rings in a holographic toy model
In warped AdS3 black holes, the eikonal quasinormal-mode spectrum is governed exactly by the photon ring's orbital frequency and Lyapunov exponent, with different boundary conditions picking out the outer or inner ring.

Why there is no Love in black holes
Stationary, axisymmetric Kerr perturbations carry an exact SL(2,R) conformal symmetry, and its representation structure forbids tidal response: black hole Love numbers vanish.

Anisotropic conformal Carroll field theories and their gravity duals
Plane wave spacetimes in three and four dimensions realize anisotropic conformal Carroll algebras as their (asymptotic) symmetry algebras, providing candidate holographic duals for z-anisotropic Carrollian CFTs.
