Abstract

Separate differential and integral transformations are introduced for the individual radial and angular equations governing the (infinitesimally) gauge invariant Newman–Penrose quantities which represent massless perturbations of the Kerr black hole. Using these new transformations it is shown, without need for numerical investigation or reference to the analytic behavior of the separation constant, that no unstable mode perturbations exist for any physical value of the spin of massless fields on the rotating black hole background.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
