Linear stability of rotating black holes: Outline of the proof
After a brief introduction to the black hole stability problem, we outline our recent proof of the linear stability of the non-extreme Kerr geometry.
متن کاملThe inequality between mass and angular momentum for axially symmetric black holes
In this essay I first discuss the physical relevance of the inequality m ≥ √ |J | for axially symmetric (non-stationary) black holes, where m is the mass and J the angular momentum of the spacetime. Then, I present a proof of this inequality for the case of one spinning black hole. The proof involves a remarkable characterization of the extreme Kerr black hole as an absolute minimum of the tota...
متن کاملThe Standing Accretion Shock Instability in the Disk around the Kerr Black Hole
This paper is a sequel to our previous work for accretion onto a Schwarzschild black hole and the so-called standing accretion shock instability (SASI), in this paper we investigate non-axisymmetric perturbations for a Kerr black hole. The linear and non-linear phases for the shock evolution are analyzed in detail by both 2D general relativistic hydrodynamical simulations and linear analysis. S...
متن کاملThe Parametric Transition of Strange Matter Rings to a Black Hole
It is shown numerically that strange matter rings permit a continuous transition to the extreme Kerr black hole. The multipoles as defined by Geroch and Hansen are studied and suggest a universal behaviour for bodies approaching the extreme Kerr solution parametrically. The appearance of a ‘throat region’, a distinctive feature of the extreme Kerr spacetime, is observed. With regard to stabilit...
متن کاملLinear Waves in the Kerr Geometry: a Mathematical Voyage to Black Hole Physics
This paper gives a survey of wave dynamics in the Kerr spacetime geometry, the mathematical model of a rotating black hole in equilibrium. After a brief introduction to the Kerr metric, we review the separability properties of linear wave equations for fields of general spin s = 0, 1 2 , 1, 2, corresponding to scalar, Dirac, electromagnetic fields and linearized gravitational waves. We give res...
