  We present a thorough analysis for the quasinormal (QN) behavior, associated
with the decay of scalar, electromagnetic and gravitational perturbations, of
Schwarzschild-anti-de Sitter black holes. As it is known the anti-de Sitter
(AdS) QN spectrum crucially depends on the relative size of the black hole to
the AdS radius. There are three different types of behavior depending on
whether the black hole is large, intermediate, or small. The results of
previous works, concerning lower overtones for large black holes, are completed
here by obtaining higher overtones for all the three black hole regimes. There
are two major conclusions that one can draw from this work: First,
asymptotically for high overtones, all the modes are evenly spaced, and this
holds for all three types of regime, large, intermediate and small black holes,
independently of l, where l is the quantum number characterizing the angular
distribution; Second, the spacing between modes is apparently universal, in
that it does not depend on the field, i.e., scalar, electromagnetic and
gravitational QN modes all have the same spacing for high overtones. We are
also able to prove why scalar and gravitational perturbations are isospectral,
asymptotically for high overtones, by introducing appropriate superpartner
potentials.
