چکیده
We consider the Cauchy problem for the massless 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.

We consider the Cauchy problem for the massless scalar wave equation in the Kerr geometry for smooth initial data compactly 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. Thi...

Recently, it has been shown that the wave equation for a scalar field on the exterior part of the Schwarzschild manifold satisfies local decay estimates useful for scattering theory and global existence [2]. The extension for the linearized Einstein equation is considered here. In 1957, Regge and Wheeler investigated spin 2 tensor fields on the Schwarzschild manifold [4]. They classified such f...
