Mode Stability For Massless Scalars In Five-Dimensional Black Hole Backgrounds
M. Cvetic, C. N. Pope, B. F. Whiting +1
The mode stability of the Kerr black hole in four dimensions was demonstrated by Whiting in 1989, by separating the Teukolsky equation that describes gravitational perturbations an…
Supergravity Black Holes, Love Numbers and Harmonic Coordinates
M. Cvetic, G. W. Gibbons, C. N. Pope +1
To perform realistic tests of theories of gravity, we need to be able to look beyond general relativity and evaluate the consistency of alternative theories with observational data…
Positive Energy Functional for Massless Scalars in Rotating Black Hole Backgrounds of Maximal Ungauged Supergravity
M. Cvetic, G. W. Gibbons, C. N. Pope +1
We outline a proof of the stability of a massless neutral scalar field in the background of a wide class of four dimensional asymptotically flat rotating and ``electrically cha…
BPS Kerr-AdS Time Machines
M. Cvetic, Wei-Jian Geng, H. Lu +1
It was recently observed that Kerr-AdS metrics with negative mass describe smooth spacetimes that have a region with naked closed time-like curves, bounded by a velocity of light s…
STU Black Holes and SgrA*
M. Cvetic, G. W. Gibbons, C. N. Pope
The equations of null geodesics in the STU family of rotating black hole solutions of supergravity theory, which may be considered as deformations of the vacuum Kerr metric, are co…
Vacuum polarization throughout general subtracted black hole spacetimes
Alejandro Satz, Mirjam Cvetic
We compute the vacuum polarization of a massless minimally co pled scalar field in a background given by a black hole with subtracted geometry. Extending previous results for the h…
