On Axially Symmetric Perturbations of Kerr Black Hole Spacetimes

Nishanth Gudapati

The lack of a positive-definite and conserved energy is a serious obstacle in the black hole stability problem. In this work, we will show that there exists a positive-definite and…

Curvature Propagation for the 3+1 Dimensional U(1) Symmetric Einstein Spacetimes

Nishanth Gudapati

As it is well known, the global structure of the Einstein equations for general relativity in the context of the initial value problem, is a difficult and intricate mathematical pr…

Scattering for the Equivariant U(1) Problem

Nishanth Gudapati

Extending our previous works on the Cauchy problem for the equivariant Einstein-wave map system, we prove that the linear part dominates the nonlinear part of the wave maps e…

Energy Extraction, or Lack Thereof

Nishanth Gudapati

The problem of stability of rotating black holes is the subject of a long standing research program since the 1960s and remains an unresolved problem in general relativity. A major…

Axially Symmetric Perturbations of Kerr Black Holes II: Boundary Behaviour of the Dynamics in the Orbit Space

Nishanth Gudapati

In a previous work, we constructed a positive-definite total energy functional for the axially symmetric linear perturbative theory of Kerr black hole spacetimes. That work is base…

Quasi-Local Mass near the Singularity, the Event Horizon and the Null Infinity of Black Hole Spacetimes

Nishanth Gudapati, Shing-Tung Yau

The behaviour of geometric quantities close to geometric pathologies of a spacetime is relevant to deduce the physical behaviour of the system. In this work, we compute the quasi-l…

Axially Symmetric Perturbations of Kerr Black Holes I: A gauge-invariant construction of ADM Energy

Nishanth Gudapati

Based on the Hamiltonian dimensional reduction of axially symmetric, Ricci-flat Lorentzian spacetimes to a Einstein-wave map system with the (negatively curved) hyperbo…

A Conserved Energy for Axially Symmetric Newman-Penrose-Maxwell Scalars on Kerr Black Holes

Nishanth Gudapati

We show that there exists a 1-parameter family of positive-definite and conserved energy functionals for axially symmetric Newman-Penrose-Maxwell scalars on the maximal spacelike h…

A Positive-Definite Energy Functional for Axially Symmetric Maxwell's Equations on Kerr-de Sitter Black Hole Spacetimes

Nishanth Gudapati

We prove that there exists a phase space of canonical variables for the initial value problem for axially symmetric Maxwell fields propagating in Kerr-de Sitter black hole spacetim…

On 3+1 Lorentzian Einstein Manifolds with One Rotational Isometry

Nishanth Gudapati

We consider 3+1 rotationally symmetric Lorentzian Einstein spacetime manifolds with and reduce the equations to 2+1 Einstein equations coupled to `shifted' wave maps. Subsequ…

A Note on the Dimensional Reduction of Axisymmetric Spacetimes

Nishanth Gudapati

We investigate the dimensional reduction of 3+1 vacuum axisymmetric Einstein's equations to 2+1 dimensional Einstein-wave map system and observe that the resulting system is 1) not…

On Scattering for Small Data of 2+1 Dimensional Equivariant Einstein-Wave Map System

Benjamin Dodson, Nishanth Gudapati

We consider the Cauchy problem of 2+1 equivariant wave maps coupled to Einstein's equations of general relativity and prove that two separate (nonlinear) subclasses of the system d…

Global Regularity for the 2+1 Dimensional Equivariant Einstein-Wave Map System

Lars Andersson, Nishanth Gudapati, Jeremie Szeftel

In this paper we consider the equivariant 2+1 dimensional Einstein-wave map system and show that if the target satisfies the so called Grillakis condition, then global existence ho…

On the Cauchy Problem for Energy Critical Self-Gravitating Wave Maps

Nishanth Gudapati

This work is on the Cauchy problem for critical wave maps coupled to Einstein's equations of general relativity. The main result of this work is the proof that the energy of the Ei…
