I review recent developments in numerical relativity, focussing on progress made in 3D black hole evolution. Progress in development of black hole initial data, apparent horizon boundary conditions, adaptive mesh refinement, and…

We present a detailed description of techniques developed to combine 3D numerical simulations and, subsequently, a single black hole close-limit approximation. This method has made it possible to compute the first complete waveforms…

We study numerically the fully nonlinear gravitational collapse of a self-gravitating, minimally-coupled, massless scalar field in spherical symmetry. Our numerical code is based on double-null coordinates and on free evolution of the…

We derive the odd parity perturbation equation in scalar-tensor theories with a non minimal kinetic coupling sector of the general Horndeski theory, where the kinetic term is coupled to the metric and the Einstein tensor. We derive the…

The traditional approach to perturbations of nonrotating black holes in General Relativity uses the reformulation of the equations of motion into a radial second-order Schr\"odinger-like equation, whose asymptotic solutions are elementary.…

We analyze the mode stability of odd-parity perturbations of black holes with linearly time-dependent scalar hair in shift-symmetric Horndeski theories. We show that a large class of black hole solutions in these theories suffer from ghost…

To fully exploit the capabilities of next-generation gravitational wave detectors, we need to significantly improve the accuracy of our models of gravitational-wave-emitting systems. This paper focuses on one way of doing so: by taking…

The non-linear generation of harmonics in gravitational perturbations of black holes is explored using numerical relativity based on an in-going light-cone framework. Localised, finite, perturbations of an isolated black hole are…

We consider the problem of evolving nonlinear initial data in the close limit regime. Metric and curvature perturbations of nonrotating black holes are equivalent to first perturbative order, but Moncrief waveform in the former case and…

These lecture notes are concerned with linear stability of the non-extreme Kerr geometry under perturbations of general spin. After a brief review of the Kerr black hole and its symmetries, we describe these symmetries by Killing fields and…

We present a new pseudo-spectral code for the simulation of evolution systems that are second order in space. We test this code by evolving a non-linear scalar wave equation. These non-linear waves can be stably evolved using very simple…

We have developed a numerical method for evolving perturbations of rotating black holes. Solutions are obtained by integrating the Teukolsky equation written as a first-order in time, coupled system of equations, in a form that explicitly…

We study odd parity perturbations of spherically symmetric black holes with time-dependent scalar hair in shift-symmetric higher-order scalar-tensor theories. The analysis is performed in a general way without assuming the degeneracy…

We describe early success in the evolution of binary black hole spacetimes with a numerical code based on a generalization of harmonic coordinates. Indications are that with sufficient resolution this scheme is capable of evolving binary…

We present a new class of 3D black hole initial data sets for numerical relativity. These data sets go beyond the axisymmetric, ``gravity wave plus rotating black hole'' single black hole data sets by creating a dynamic, distorted hole with…

We reduce the study of perturbations of rotating black holes in higher-derivative extensions of general relativity to a system of decoupled radial equations that stem from a set of universal Teukolsky equations. We detail a complete…

We present a numerical study of the time evolution of perturbations of rotating black holes. The solutions are obtained by integrating the Teukolsky equation written as a first-order in time, coupled system of equations, in a form that…

We calculate the spectrum of quasinormal modes of slowly rotating Kerr-Newman black holes. Using a perturbative double expansion method, second order in rotation and first order in non-radial perturbations, we obtain the system of equations…

We reformulate the theory of Schwarzschild black hole perturbations in terms of the metric perturbation in the Lorenz gauge. In this formulation, each tensor-harmonic mode of the perturbation is constructed algebraically from 10 scalar…

We study the linear perturbations about a nonrotating black hole solution of Horndeski's theory, using a systematic approach that extracts the asymptotic behaviour of perturbations (at spatial infinity and near the horizon) directly from…
