Linear field perturbations of a black hole are described by the Green function of the wave equation that they obey. After Fourier decomposing the Green function, its two natural contributions are given by poles (quasinormal modes) and a…
We consider the time evolution of massless gravitino perturbations in Schwarzschild black holes, and show that as in the case of fields of other values of spin, the evolution comes in three stages, after an initial outburst as a first…

We generalize the Chern-Simons modified gravity to the metric-affine case and impose projective invariance by supplementing the Pontryagin density with homothetic curvature terms which do not spoil topologicity. The latter is then broken by…

We study quasinormal modes and time-domain profiles of a massive scalar field in the background of black holes arising in Einstein--Gauss--Bonnet--Proca gravity. The black holes in this theory possess \emph{primary Proca hair}, which…
We study two singular spectral components of the Green's function of a Schwarzschild black hole and their interpretation in the frequency domain: (i) the low-frequency branch cut, which yields corrections to Price's law tails in the form of…
The evolution of scalar, electromagnetic and gravitational fields around spherically symmetric black hole surrounded by quintessence are studied with special interest on the late-time behavior. In the ring down stage of evolution, we find…
Parametric deviations of quasinormal modes~(QNMs) is a common feature of beyond General Relativity (GR) theories. For theories with additional degrees of freedom, such as scalars and vectors, new family of modes might appear, usually called…
In this paper, we study the quasinormal mode and late-time tail of charged massless scalar perturbations of a black hole in the generalized Rastall gravity. The black hole metric in question is spherically symmetric, accompanied by a…
We present a new analytic approach for the study of late time evolution of linear test-fields, propagating on the exterior of black holes. This method provides a calculation scheme applicable to Kerr black holes (for which case no analytic…
We show that retarded Green's functions of black hole spacetimes can be expressed as a convergent mode sum everywhere in spacetime. At late times a quasinormal mode sum converges, while at early times a Matsubara (or, Euclidean) mode sum…
We study the late-time behaviour of a dynamically perturbed rapidly rotating black hole. Considering an extreme Kerr black hole, we show that the large number of virtually undamped quasinormal modes (that exist for nonzero values of the…
