This short paper should serve as basis for further analysis of a previously found new symmetry of the solutions of the wave equation in the gravitational field of a Kerr black hole. Its main new result is the proof of essential…

We examine solutions to semilinear wave equations on black hole backgrounds and give a proof of an analog of the Strauss conjecture on the Schwarzschild and Kerr, with small angular momentum, black hole backgrounds. The key estimates are a…

We are interested in establishing stability results for a system of semilinear wave and Klein-Gordon equations with mixed coupling nonlinearities, that is, we consider all of the possible quadratic nonlinear terms of the type of wave and…

A Kerr-de Sitter black hole is a solution $(M,g_{\Lambda,\mathfrak{m},\mathfrak{a}})$ of the Einstein vacuum equations with cosmological constant $\Lambda>0$. It describes a black hole with mass $\mathfrak{m}>0$ and specific angular…

We present an analytic study of the finite size effects in Sine--Gordon model, based on the semiclassical quantization of an appropriate kink background defined on a cylindrical geometry. The quasi--periodic kink is realized as an elliptic…

We study the Klein--Gordon equation $\Box_{g_{a,M,l}}\psi-\mu^2_{\textit{KG}}\psi=0$ on subextremal Kerr--de Sitter black hole backgrounds with parameters $(a,M,l)$, where $l^2=\frac{3}{\Lambda}$. We prove boundedness and Morawetz estimates…

We prove, unconditionally, the linear stability of the Kerr family in the full subextremal range. On an analytic level, our proof is the same as that of our earlier paper in the slowly rotating case. The additional ingredients we use are,…

The Klein-Gordon equation for a massive scalar field in the background of a rapidly-rotating Kerr black hole is studied analytically. In particular, we derive a simple formula for the stationary (marginally-stable) resonances of the field…

We study axisymmetric solution to the conformally invariant wave equation on a Kerr background by means of numerical and analytical methods. Our main focus is on the behaviour of the solutions near spacelike infinity, which is appropriately…

We prove the linear stability of slowly rotating Kerr black holes as solutions of the Einstein vacuum equation: linearized perturbations of a Kerr metric decay at an inverse polynomial rate to a linearized Kerr metric plus a pure gauge…

We revisit the recent work of Huang on the superradiant stability of Kerr black holes coupled to massive scalar fields. While their analysis provides sufficient conditions for stability, it imposes an unnecessarily strong requirement by…
