Maggiore’s method (MM), which evaluates the transition frequency that appears in the adiabatic invariant from the highly damped
quasinormal mode (QNM) frequencies, is used to investigate the entropy/area spectra of the Garfnkle–Horowitz–Strominger black
hole (GHSBH). Instead of the ordinary QNMs, we compute the boxed QNMs (BQNMs) that are the characteristic resonance spectra
of the confned scalar felds in the GHSBH geometry. For this purpose, we assume that the GHSBH has a confning cavity (mirror)
placed in the vicinity of the event horizon. We then show how the complex resonant frequencies of the caged GHSBH are computed
using the Bessel diferential equation that arises when the scalar perturbations around the event horizon are considered. Although
the entropy/area is characterized by the GHSBH parameters, their quantization is shown to be independent of those parameters.
However, both spectra are equally spaced.
1. Introduction
Currently, one of the greatest projects in theoretical physics
is to unify general relativity (GR) with quantum mechanics
(QM). Such a new unifed theory is known as the quantum
gravity theory (QGT) [1]. Recent developments in physics
show that our universe has a more complex structure than
that predicted by the standard model [2]. Te QGT is
considered to be an important tool that can tackle this
problem. However, current QGT still requires further exten-
sive development to reach completion. Te development
of the QGT began in the seventies when Hawking [3, 4]
and Bekenstein [5–9] considered the black hole (BH) as a
quantum mechanical system rather than a classical one. In
particular, Bekenstein showed that the area of the BH should
have a discrete and equally spaced spectrum
A
=ℎ=8ℎ, (=0,1,2,...), (1)
where is the undetermined dimensionless constant and is
of the order of unity. Te above expression also shows that
the minimum increase in the horizon area is ΔA
min
= ℎ.
Bekenstein [7, 8] also conjectured that for the Schwarzschild
BH (also for the Kerr-Newman BH) the value of is 8 (or
=1). Following the seminal work of Bekenstein, various
methods have been suggested to compute the area spectrum
of the BHs. Some methods used for obtaining the spectrum
can admit that the value of is diferent than that obtained
by Bekenstein; this has led to the discussion of this subject in
the literature (for a review of this topic, see [10] and references
therein). Among those methods, the MM’s results [11] show a
perfect agreement with Bekenstein’s result by modifying the
Kunstatter’s [12] formula as

where

−
represents the transition frequency between the
subsequent levels of an uncharged and static BH with the
total energy (or mass) . However, the researchers [13–15]
working on this issue later realized that the above defnition
is not suitable for the charged rotating (hairy) BHs that the
generalized form of the defnition should be given by
