QNMs of scalar fields on small Reissner-Nordström-AdS$\mathbf{_5}$ black holes

Abstract: We study the quasinormal modes (QNMs) of a charged scalar field on a Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m-anti-de Sitter (RN-AdS$_{5}$) black hole in the small radius limit by using the isomonodromic method. We also derive the low-temperature expansion of the fundamental QNM frequency. Finally, we provide numerical evidence that instabilities appear in the small radius limit for large values of the charge of the scalar field.
