We construct a class of linear partial differential equations describing general perturbations of non-rotating black holes in 3D Cartesian coordinates. In contrast to the usual approach, a single equation treats all radiative $\ell -m$…

We prove that sufficiently regular solutions to the wave equation $\Box_g\phi=0$ on the exterior of the Schwarzschild black hole obey the estimates $|\phi|\leq C_\delta v_+^{-{3/2}+\delta}$ and $|\partial_t\phi|\leq C_{\delta}…

In an early work the Rossby Wave Instability (RWI) has been proposed to explain variability thought to originate in the close vicinity of black-holes but this was done in the pseudo-Newtonian approach. Here we present the first general…

We consider the scalar wave equation with power nonlinearity in n+1 dimensions. Unlike most previous numerical studies, we go beyond the radial case and do not assume any symmetries for n=3, and we only impose an SO(n-1) symmetry in higher…

The analysis of nonlinear wave equations has experienced a dramatic growth in the last ten years or so. The key factor in this has been the transition from linear analysis, first to the study of bilinear and multilinear wave interactions,…
