We show that the emergent near-horizon conformal symmetry of extremal black holes gives rise to universal behavior in perturbing fields, both near and far from the black hole horizon. The scale-invariance of the near-horizon region entails…
Waves propagating in a curved spacetime develop tails. In particular, it is well established that the late-time dynamics of gravitational collapse is dominated by a power-law decaying tail of the form $Mt^{-(2l+3)}$, where $M$ is the…

It is well known that the late-time behaviour of gravitational collapse is {\it dominated} by an inverse power-law decaying tail. We calculate {\it higher-order corrections} to this power-law behaviour in a spherically symmetric…

Electromagnetic and gravitational radiation do not propagate solely on the null cone in a generic curved spacetime. They develop "tails," traveling at all speeds equal to and less than unity. If sizeable, this off-the-null-cone effect could…
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…
One of the most important characteristics of light in flat spacetime is that it satisfies Huygens' principle: Initial data for the vacuum Maxwell equations evolves sharply along null (and not timelike) geodesics. In flat spacetime, there…
