Abstract
The possibility that the asymptotic quasi-normal mode (QNM) frequencies can be used to obtain
the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy for the Schwarzschild black hole — commonly referred to as
Hod’s conjecture — has received considerable attention. To test this conjecture, using monodromy
technique, attempts have been made to analytically compute the asymptotic frequencies for a large
class of black hole spacetimes. In an earlier work, two of the current authors computed the high frequency
QNMs for scalar perturbations of (D+2)-dimensional spherically symmetric, asymptotically
flat, single horizon spacetimes with generic power-law singularities. In this work, we extend these
results to asymptotically non-flat spacetimes. Unlike the earlier analyses, we treat asymptotically
flat and de Sitter spacetimes in a unified manner, while the asymptotic anti-de Sitter spacetimes is
considered separately. We obtain master equations for the asymptotic QNM frequency for all the
three cases. We show that for all the three cases, the real part of the asymptotic QNM frequency –
in general – is not proportional to ln(3) thus indicating that the Hod’s conjecture may be restrictive.
