We obtain an explicit expression for the first-order correction and arbitrary spin. Our results are in agreement with the results from WKB and numerical analyses in the case of gravitational waves.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2003-10-22T17:17:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quasi-normal modes", "perturbative calculation", "four-dimensional schwarzschild black hole", "explicit expression", "quasi-normal frequencies" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 626556 } } }
