Description: The study investigates how modifying the Teukolsky potential can alter its discrete symmetries and break the degeneracy of $m=0$ quasinormal modes (QNMs). Using both frequency domain analysis and time-domain simulations, the research shows that complex deformations can break this degeneracy. This provides a method to efficiently compute fundamental $m=0$ QNMs for modified gravity theories.
