Uniform energy bound and Morawetz estimate for extreme components of spin fields in the exterior of a slowly rotating Kerr black hole II: linearized gravity

This second part of the series treats spin $\pm2$ components (or extreme components), that satisfy the Teukolsky master equation, of the linearized gravity in the exterior of a slowly rotating Kerr black hole. For each of these two components, after performing a first-order differential operator once and twice, the resulting equations together with the Teukolsky master equation itself constitute a linear spin-weighted wave system. An energy and Morawetz estimate for spin $\pm 2$ components is proved by treating this system. This is a first step in a joint work (Andersson et al. in Stability for linearized gravity on the Kerr spacetime, arXiv:1903.03859, 2019) in addressing the linear stability of slowly rotating Kerr metrics.
