Evolving Metric Perturbations in dynamical Chern-Simons Gravity
arXiv:1811.10713 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.99.044019
Abstract
We present a well-posed constraint-preserving scheme for evolving first-order metric perturbations on an arbitrary background with arbitrary source. We use this scheme to evolve the leading-order metric perturbation in order-reduced dynamical Chern-Simons gravity (dCS) on a Kerr background. In particular we test the stability of stationary dCS data on a Kerr background with stationary first-order dCS scalar field source. We find that the leading-order metric perturbation numerically exhibits linear growth, but that the level of this growth converges to zero with numerical resolution. This analysis shows that spinning black holes in dCS gravity are numerically stable to leading-order perturbations in the metric.
