Abstract
This chapter is devoted to problems involving perturbed black holes. We describe the evolution of physical fields in the exterior of Schwarzschild and Kerr black holes. As we shall see, an understanding of wave propagation in black hole geometries opens the door to studies of:
-
• The radiation from a slightly non-spherical gravitational collapse
-
• The radiation generated by bodies falling into black holes
-
• The late-time (after black hole formation) behavior of the gravitational field
-
• Scattering and absorption of waves by black holes
-
• The stability of the Schwarzschild and the Kerr solutions
-
• The generation of gravitational waves by coalescing binary systems
