Determination of quasinormal modes of rapidly rotating black holes in alternative theories of gravity has remained a challenge for a long time. Here we discuss in detail our recently developed method to extract the quasinormal modes for rapidly rotating black holes in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet-dilaton theory. We first obtain numerically the exact rapidly rotating background solutions, which also clarify their domain of existence. Then we solve the equations for the linear perturbations of the metric and the dilaton field by employing an appropriate set of boundary conditions and a spectral decomposition of the perturbation functions. The resulting spectrum agrees well with the known limits obtained for slow rotation and weak coupling, while it exhibits larger deviations for stronger coupling.engAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/journal article2470-0029https: doi.org./10.1103/PhysRevD.111.064015https://journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevD.111.064015open access52-33530.12Alternative gravity theoriesGravitational wavesClassical black holesAstrofísica21 Astronomía y Astrofísica2212.14 Teoría de la Relatividad
