We prove that there are no non-stationary (with respect to the Hawking vectorfield) real mode solutions to the Teukolsky equations on all $(3+1)$-dimensional subextremal Kerr-anti-de Sitter spacetimes. We further prove that stationary…

The mode stability of the Kerr black hole in four dimensions was demonstrated by Whiting in 1989, by separating the Teukolsky equation that describes gravitational perturbations and then transforming the radial and angular equations in such…

We prove that there are no exponentially growing modes nor modes on the real axis for the Teukolsky equation on Kerr black hole spacetimes, both in the extremal and subextremal case. We also give a quantitative refinement of mode stability.…

Quantitative versions of mode stability type statements for the wave equation on Kerr-Newman black holes are proven for the full sub-extremal range. The mode stability result on the real axis is then applied to prove integrated local energy…

We prove that, for any continuous path of Kerr-adS black hole parameters crossing the Hawking-Reall threshold, for all azimuthal number $|m|$ sufficiently large, there exists black hole parameters on the path such that the Teukolsky…

We prove energy, Morawetz and $r^p$-weighted estimates for solutions to the Teukolsky equation set on a slowly-rotating Kerr-de Sitter background. The main feature of our estimates is their uniformity with respect to the cosmological…

Motivated by the Kerr-CFT conjecture, we investigate perturbations of the near-horizon extreme Kerr spacetime. The Teukolsky equation for a massless field of arbitrary spin is solved. Solutions fall into two classes: normal modes and…

We show that both the interior region $r<M-\sqrt{M^2-a^2}$ of a Kerr black hole and the $a^2>M^2$ Kerr naked singularity admit unstable solutions of the Teukolsky equation for any value of the spin weight. For every harmonic number there is…
