Smooth null hypersurfaces near the horizon in the presence of tails

Abstract

We show that the power-law decay modes found in linear perturbations of Schwarzschild black holes, generally called tails, do not produce caustics on a naturally defined family of null surfaces in the neighborhood of i+ of a black hole horizon.
