Decay of Solutions of the Wave Equation in the Kerr Geometry

چکیده
We consider the Cauchy problem for the scalar wave equation in the Kerr geometry for smooth initial data supported outside the event horizon. We prove that the solutions decay in time in L∞loc. The proof is based on a representation of the solution as an infinite sum over the angular momentum modes, each of which is an integral of the energy variable ω on the real line. This integral representation involves solutions of the radial and angular ODEs which arise in the separation of variables.

متن کاملAnalytical solutions of neutrino wave equations in Kerr geometry with Vaidya-Patel coordinates
Analytical solution of Weyl neutrino wave equation in Kerr geometry is presented by making use of the two-spinor component spin-coefficient Newman-Penrose (NP) calculus. So far only asymptotic or approximate solutions have been found for the Weyl equation in this background. It is shown that neutrino current asymmetry is also present in this solution. PACS numbers:
متن کاملDirac equation in Kerr geometry and its solution
— Chandrasekhar separated the Dirac equation for spinning and massive particles in Kerr geometry into radial and angular parts. In the present review, we present solutions of the complete wave equation and discuss how the Dirac wave scatters off Kerr black holes. The eigenfunctions, eigenvalues and reflection and transmission coefficients are computed for different Kerr parameters. We compare t...
متن کاملDecay estimates of solutions to the IBq equation
In this paper we focus on the Cauchy problem for the generalized IBq equation with damped term in $n$-dimensional space. We establish the global existence and decay estimates of solution with $L^q(1leq qleq 2)$ initial value, provided that the initial value is suitably small. Moreover, we also show that the solution is asymptotic to the solution $u_L$ to the corresponding linear equa...
