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…
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 study analytically, via the Newman-Penrose formalism, the late time decay of scalar, electromagnetic, and gravitational perturbations outside a realistic rotating (Kerr) black hole. We find a power-law decay at timelike infinity, as well…
We study solutions of the decoupled Maxwell equations in the exterior region of a Schwarzschild black hole. In stationary regions, where the Schwarzschild coordinate $r$ ranges over $2M < r_1 < r < r_2$, we obtain a decay rate of $t^{-1}$…
We analyze the late-time decay of scalar perturbations in extremal Reissner-Nordstrom spacetime. We consider individual spherical-harmonic modes $l$ of a test massless scalar field, restricting our attention to initial data of compact…
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…
We present an analytic method for calculating the late-time tails of a linear scalar field outside a Kerr black hole. We give the asymptotic behavior at timelike infinity (for fixed $r$), at future null infinity, and along the event horizon…
We study the wave equation on the real line with a potential that falls off like $|x|^{-\alpha}$ for $|x| \to \infty$ where $2 < \alpha \leq 4$. We prove that the solution decays pointwise like $t^{-\alpha}$ as $t \to \infty$ provided that…
In this paper we consider solutions to the linear wave equation on higher dimensional Schwarzschild black hole spacetimes and prove robust nondegenerate energy decay estimates that are in principle required in a nonlinear stability problem.…
It is shown that the axial and polar perturbations of the spherically symmetric black hole can be described in a gauge-invariant way. The reduced phase space describing gravitational waves outside of the horizon is described by the…
We revisit the problem of scalar and electromagnetic waves impinging upon a Schwarzschild black hole from complex angular momentum techniques. We focus more particularly on the associated differential scattering cross sections. We derive an…
We present an elementary physical space argument to establish local integrated decay estimates for the perturbed wave equation $\Box_g \phi = \epsilon \beta^a \partial_a \phi$ on the exterior of the Schwarzschild geometry $(\mathcal{M},g)$.…
We prove in this paper the linear stability of the celebrated Schwarzschild family of black holes in general relativity: Solutions to the linearisation of the Einstein vacuum equations around a Schwarzschild metric arising from regular…
We apply a new analytic scheme, developed in a preceding paper, in order to calculate the late time behavior of scalar test fields evolving outside a Schwarzschild black hole. The pattern of the late time decay at future null infinity is…
We study analytically, via the Newman-Penrose formalism, the late-time decay of linear electromagnetic and gravitational perturbations along the event horizon (EH) of black holes. We first analyze in detail the case of a Schwarzschild black…
Linear field perturbations of a black hole are described by the Green function of the wave equation that they obey. After Fourier decomposing the Green function, its two natural contributions are given by poles (quasinormal modes) and a…
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…
The Regge-Wheeler equation for black-hole gravitational waves is analyzed for large negative imaginary frequencies, leading to a calculation of the cut strength for waves outgoing to infinity. In the--limited--region of overlap, the results…
The equations governing the perturbations of the Schwarzschild metric satisfy the Regge-Wheeler-Zerilli-Moncrief system. Applying the technique introduced in [2], we prove an integrated local energy decay estimate for both the Regge-Wheeler…
