We study the one-dimensional wave equation with an inverse power potential that equals $const.x^{-m}$ for large $|x|$ where $m$ is any positive integer greater than or equal to 3. We show that the solution decays pointwise like $t^{-m}$ for…
We prove Price's law with an explicit leading order term for solutions $\phi(t,x)$ of the scalar wave equation on a class of stationary asymptotically flat $(3+1)$-dimensional spacetimes including subextremal Kerr black holes. Our precise…
Price's Law states that linear perturbations of a Schwarzschild black hole fall off as $t^{-2\ell-3}$ for $t \to \infty$ provided the initial data decay sufficiently fast at spatial infinity. Moreover, if the perturbations are initially…
We prove sharp pointwise $t^{-3}$ decay for scalar linear perturbations of a Schwarzschild black hole without symmetry assumptions on the data. We also consider electromagnetic and gravitational perturbations for which we obtain decay rates…

We describe an expansion of the solution of the wave equation in the De Sitter - Schwarzschild metric in terms of resonances. The main term in the expansion is due to a zero resonance. The error term decays polynomially if we permit a…
The Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordstrom solutions to Einstein's equations describe space- times which contain spherically symmetric black holes. We consider solutions to the linear wave equation in the exterior of a fixed black hole space-…
Schwarzschild black holes evolve toward their static configuration by emitting gravitational waves, which decay over time following a power law at fixed spatial positions. We derive this power law analytically for the second-order even…
We establish Strichartz estimates (both reversed and some direct ones), pointwise decay estimates, and weighted decay estimates for the linear wave equation in dimension two with an almost scaling-critical potential, in the case when there…
Quantization of the gravitational field may allow the existence of a decay channel of black holes into white holes with an explicit time-reversal symmetry. The definition of a meaningful decay probability for this channel is studied in…

We consider the Cauchy problem for the (non-linear) Maxwell-Charged-Scalar-Field equations with spherically symmetric initial data, on a sub-extremal Reissner--Nordstr\"{o}m or Schwarzschild exterior space-time. We prove that the solutions…
In this paper, we prove the decay estimate of Maxwell-Higgs system on four dimensional Schwarzschild spacetimes. We show that if the field equations support a Morawetz type estimate supported around the trapped surface, the uniform decay…
We introduce a general method for understanding the late time tail for solutions to wave equations on asymptotically flat spacetimes with odd space dimensions. In particular, for a large class of equations, we prove that the precise late…
These lecture notes, based on a course given at the Zurich Clay Summer School (June 23-July 18, 2008), review our current mathematical understanding of the global behaviour of waves on black hole exterior backgrounds. Interest in this…
We provide a uniform decay estimate of Morawetz type for the local energy of general solutions to the inhomogeneous wave equation on a Schwarzchild background. This estimate is both uniform in space and time, so in particular it implies a…
Here we examine the quantum-mechanical decay of a Schwarzschild-like black hole, formed by gravitational collapse, into almost-flat space-time and weak radiation at a very late time, in order to evaluate quantum amplitudes (not just…
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…
Conformally invariant scalar waves in black hole spacetimes which are asymptotically anti-de Sitter are investigated. We consider both the $(2+1)$-dimensional black hole and $(3+1)$-dimensional Schwarzschild-anti-de Sitter spacetime as…
