The semilinear wave equation on the (outer) Schwarzschild manifold is studied. We prove local decay estimates for general (non-radial) data, deriving a-priori Morawetz type estimates.

Einstein's general theory of relativity poses many problems to the quantum theory of point particle fields. Among them is the fate of a massive point particle. Since its rest mass exists entirely within its Schwarzschild radius, in the…

We construct exact, entropy satisfying shock wave solutions of the Einstein equations for a perfect fluid which extend the Oppeheimer-Snyder (OS) model to the case of non-zero pressure, {\it inside the Black Hole}. These solutions put forth…

We consider finite deformations of the p+2-dimensional Schwarzschild geometry which obey the vacuum Einstein equation, preserve the mean curvature and induced conformal metric on a sphere a distance $\lambda$ from the horizon and are…

In this paper we study the even part of the linear stability of the Schwarzschild spacetime as a continuation of [22]. By taking the harmonic gauge, we prove that the energy decays at a rate $\tau^{-2+}$ for the solution of the linearized…

We first present an overview of the Schwarzschild vacuum spacetime within general relativity, with particular emphasis on the role of scalar polynomial invariants and the null frame approach (and the related Cartan invariants), that…
