Conserved currents for a Kerr black hole and orthogonality of quasinormal modes

SR Green, S Hollands, L Sberna, V Toomani… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We introduce a bilinear form for Weyl scalar perturbations of Kerr. The form is symmetric and
conserved, and we show that, when combined with a suitable renormalization prescription …

Linear stability of slowly rotating Kerr black holes

D Häfner, P Hintz, A Vasy - Inventiones mathematicae, 2021 - Springer
We prove the linear stability of slowly rotating Kerr black holes as solutions of the Einstein
vacuum equations: linearized perturbations of a Kerr metric decay at an inverse polynomial …

Teukolsky formalism for nonlinear Kerr perturbations

SR Green, S Hollands… - Classical and Quantum …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We develop a formalism to treat higher order (nonlinear) metric perturbations of the Kerr
spacetime in a Teukolsky framework. We first show that solutions to the linearized Einstein …

Gauge invariant perturbations of general spherically symmetric spacetimes

W Liu, X Fang, J Jing, A Wang - Science China Physics, Mechanics & …, 2023 - Springer
In this paper, the gauge choices in general spherically symmetric spacetimes are explored.
In particular, we construct the gauge invariant variables and the master equations for both …

Conservative evolution of black hole perturbations with time-symmetric numerical methods

MF O'Boyle, C Markakis, LJG Da Silva… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
The scheduled launch of the LISA Mission in the next decade has called attention to the
gravitational self-force problem. Despite an extensive body of theoretical work, long-time …

Metric reconstruction in Kerr spacetime

S Hollands, V Toomani - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Metric reconstruction is the general problem of parameterizing GR in terms of its two “true
degrees of freedom”, eg, by a complex scalar “potential”—in practice mostly with the aim of …

Canonical quantization of Teukolsky fields on Kerr backgrounds

C Iuliano, J Zahn - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
Electromagnetic and gravitational perturbations on Kerr spacetime can be reconstructed
from solutions to the Teukolsky equations. We study the canonical quantization of solutions …

Symmetries of linearized gravity from adjoint operators

S Aksteiner, T Bäckdahl - Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2019 - pubs.aip.org
Based on operator identities and their formal adjoints, we derive two symmetry operators for
the linearized Einstein operator on vacuum backgrounds of Petrov type D and, in particular …

Coercivity properties of the canonical energy in double null gauge on the 4-dimensional Schwarzschild exterior

SC Collingbourne - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
In this paper, we study the canonical energy associated with solutions to the linearised
vacuum Einstein equation on a stationary spacetime. The main result of this paper …

Spin-2 Green's Functions on Kerr in Radiation Gauge

M Casals, S Hollands, A Pound, V Toomani - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
We construct retarded and advanced Green's functions for gravitational perturbations in Kerr
