This paper contains the first two parts (I-II) of a three-part series concerning the scalar wave equation \Box_g{\psi} = 0 on a fixed Kerr background. We here restrict to two cases: (II1) |a| \ll M, general {\psi} or (II2) |a| < M, {\psi}…

The geometric optics approximation provides an interpretation for eikonal correspondence that, in black-hole-containing spacetimes, connects high-frequency black hole quasinormal modes with closed photon orbits around said black hole. This…
There are circular planar null geodesics at $r=3M$ around a Schwarzschild black hole of mass $M$. These geodesics form a photon sphere. Null geodesics of the Schwarzschild space-time which do not form the photon sphere are either escape to…
