The static black hole solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell equations are all spherically symmetric, as are many of the recently discovered black hole solutions in theories of gravity coupled to other forms of matter. However, counterexamples…
We continue our study of the decoupled wave equation in the exterior of a spherically symmetric, Schwarzschild, black hole. Because null geodesics on the photon sphere orbit the black hole, extra effort must be made to show that the high…
The massive wave equation $\Box_g \psi - \alpha\frac{\Lambda}{3} \psi = 0$ is studied on a fixed Kerr-anti de Sitter background $(\mathcal{M},g_{M,a,\Lambda})$. We first prove that in the Schwarzschild case (a=0), $\psi$ remains uniformly…
