We prove that sufficiently regular solutions to the wave equation $\Box_g\phi=0$ on the exterior of the Schwarzschild black hole obey the estimates $|\phi|\leq C_\delta v_+^{-{3/2}+\delta}$ and $|\partial_t\phi|\leq C_{\delta}…
We show that linear scalar waves are bounded and continuous up to the Cauchy horizon of Reissner-Nordstr\"om-de Sitter and Kerr-de Sitter spacetimes, and in fact decay exponentially fast to a constant along the Cauchy horizon. We obtain our…
We consider solutions of the scalar wave equation $\Box_g\phi=0$, without symmetry, on fixed subextremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om backgrounds $({\mathcal M}, g)$ with nonvanishing charge. Previously, it has been shown that for $\phi$ arising…

In this paper, we study the long time dynamics of solutions to the defocusing semilinear wave equation $\Box_g\phi=|\phi|^{p-1}\phi$ on the Schwarzschild black hole spacetimes. For $\frac{1+\sqrt{17}}{2}<p<5$ and sufficiently smooth and…
We prove that a large class of smooth solutions $\psi$ to the linear wave equation $\Box_g\psi=0$ on subextremal rotating Kerr spacetimes which are regular and decaying along the event horizon become singular at the Cauchy horizon. More…

We consider solutions to the linear wave equation on a (maximally extended) Schwarzschild spacetime, assuming only that the solution decays suitably at spatial infinity on a complete Cauchy hypersurface. (In particular, we allow the support…
Solutions to the wave equation on de Sitter-Schwarzschild space with smooth initial data on a Cauchy surface are shown to decay exponentially to a constant at temporal infinity, with corresponding uniform decay on the appropriately…
It has long been suggested that solutions to linear scalar wave equation $$\Box_g\phi=0$$ on a fixed subextremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om spacetime with non-vanishing charge are generically singular at the Cauchy horizon. We prove that generic…
We continue our study of the decoupled wave equation in the exterior of a spherically symmetric, Schwarzschild, black hole. Because null geodesics on the photon sphere orbit the black hole, extra effort must be made to show that the high…
We study the Cauchy problem for the wave equation on extreme Kerr backgrounds under axisymmetry. Specifically, we consider regular axisymmetric initial data prescribed on a Cauchy hypersurface S which connects the future event horizon with…
We study the quasilinear wave equation $\Box_{g}\phi=0$ where the metric $g = g(\phi,t,x)$ is close to and asymptotically approaches $g(0,t,x)$, which equals the Schwarzschild metric or a Kerr metric with small angular momentum, as time…
We give an elementary new argument for global existence and exponential decay of solutions of quasilinear wave equations on Schwarzschild-de Sitter black hole backgrounds, for appropriately small initial data. The core of the argument is…
