Area spectrum of rotating black holes via the new interpretation of   quasinormal modes
  Motivated by the recent work on a new physical interpretation of quasinormal modes by Maggiore, we utilize this new proposal to the interesting case of Kerr black hole. In particular, by modifying Hod's idea, the resulting black hole horizon area is quantized and the resulting area quantum is in full agreement with Bekenstein's result. Furthermore, in an attempt to show that the area spectrum is equally spaced, we follow Kunstatter's method. We propose a new interpretation as a result of Maggiore's idea, for the frequency that appears in the adiabatic invariant of a black hole. The derived area spectrum is similar to that of the quantum-corrected Kerr black hole but it is not equally spaced.
