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…
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 $\Box_g\phi=0$ on a non-extremal maximally extended Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime arising from arbitrary smooth initial data prescribed on an arbitrary Cauchy hypersurface. (In…
This paper contains the first two parts (I-II) of a three-part series concerning the scalar wave equation \Box_g{\psi} = 0 on a fixed Kerr background. We here restrict to two cases: (II1) |a| \ll M, general {\psi} or (II2) |a| < M, {\psi}…
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 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 Kerr spacetimes with parameters a and M such that |a|<< M, Kerr-Newman spacetimes with parameters |Q|<< M, |a|<< M, and more generally, stationary axisymmetric black hole exterior spacetimes which are sufficiently close to a…
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…
This work studies solutions of the scalar wave equation \[\Box_g\phi=0\] on a fixed subextremal Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m spacetime with non-vanishing charge $q$ and mass $M$. In a recent paper, Luk and Oh established that generic smooth and…
Adapting and extending the techniques developed in recent work with Vasy for the study of the Cauchy horizon of cosmological spacetimes, we obtain boundedness, regularity and decay of linear scalar waves on subextremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om…

Motivated by the strong cosmic censorship conjecture, we study the linear scalar wave equation in the interior of subextremal strictly charged Reissner-Nordstr\"om black holes by analyzing a suitably-defined "scattering map" at $0$…
The massive wave equation $\Box_g \psi - \alpha\frac{\Lambda}{3} \psi = 0$ is studied on a fixed Kerr-anti de Sitter background $(\mathcal{M},g_{M,a,\Lambda})$. We first prove that in the Schwarzschild case (a=0), $\psi$ remains uniformly…
