Hawking radiation can be regarded as a spontaneous and continuous creation of virtual particle-antiparticle pairs outside the event horizon of a black hole where strong tidal forces prevent the annihilation: the particle escapes to infinity…

The Teukolsky wave equations governing fields of spin 0, $\tfrac{1}{2}$, 1, $\tfrac{3}{2}$, and 2 are generalized to the case of conformally separable solutions for accreting, rotating black holes.
In this work, we derive the global sharp decay, as both a lower and an upper bounds, for the spin $\pm \mathfrak{s}$ components, which are solutions to the Teukolsky equation, in the black hole exterior and on the event horizon of a slowly…
An analysis is developed linking the form of the sound field from a circular source to the radial structure of the source, without recourse to far-field or other approximations. It is found that the information radiated into the field is…
We present the first numerical calculation of the (local) metric perturbation produced by a small compact object moving on an eccentric equatorial geodesic around a Kerr black hole, accurate to first order in the mass ratio. The procedure…
Perturbation theory of rotating black holes is usually described in terms of Weyl scalars $\psi_4$ and $\psi_0$, which each satisfy Teukolsky's complex master wave equation and respectively represent outgoing and ingoing radiation. On the…

The field equations of a special class of tetrad theory of gravitation have been applied to tetrad space having three unknown functions of radial coordinate. The spherically symmetric vacuum stress-energy momentum tensor with one assumption…
The quantization of linearized gravity on black hole spacetimes and the construction of states for that theory is a sought-after, yet difficult achievement. One of the main reasons is the difficulty of reconciling the positivity and gauge…
We introduce a 'quasi-topological` term [1] in D=1+1 dimensions and the entropy for black holes is calculated [2]. The source of entropy in this case is justified by a non-null stress-energy tensor.
We discuss simple integration methods for the calculation of rotating black hole scattering resonances both in the complex frequency plane (quasinormal modes) and the complex angular momentum plane (Regge poles). Our numerical schemes are…
