Abstract

It is shown here that the extraction of quasinormal modes within the first Born approximation of the scattering amplitude is mathematically not well-founded. Indeed, the constraints on the existence of the scattering amplitude integral lead to inequalities for the imaginary parts of the quasinormal mode frequencies. For instance, in the Schwarzschild case, 0ωI<κ (where κ is the surface gravity at the horizon) invalidates the poles deduced from the first Born approximation method, namely, ωn=inκ.
