Dirac quasinormal frequencies in Schwarzschild-AdS space-time

Abstract
We investigate the quasinormal mode frequencies for the massless Dirac field in static four dimensional AdS space-time. The separation of the Dirac equation is achieved for the first time in AdS space. Besides the relevance that this calculation can have in the framework of the AdS/CFT correspondence between M-theory on AdS4×S7 and SU(N) super Yang-Mills theory on M3, it also serves to fill in a gap in the literature, which has only been concerned with particles of integral spin 0,1,2.
