On non-degeneracy of Riemannian Schwarzschild-anti de Sitter metrics

arXiv:1710.07597

Abstract

We prove that the -gauge-fixed linearised Einstein operator is non-degenerate for Riemannian Kottler ("Schwarzschild-anti de Sitter") metrics with dimension- and topology-dependent ranges of mass parameter. We provide evidence that this remains true for all such metrics except the spherical ones with a critical mass.
