Canonical quantization and black hole perturbations

arXiv:gr-qc/0503108 · doi:10.1063/1.1923341

Abstract

We examine the possibility of a constraint-free quantization of linearized gravity, based on the Teukolsky equation for black hole perturbations. We exhibit a simple quadratic (but complex) Lagrangian for the Teukolsky equation, leading to the interpretation that the elementary excitations (gravitons bound to the Kerr black hole) are unstable.
