abstract
We use an approximation of the Regge-Wheeler-Zerilli potential, known as P\"{o}schl-Teller, to exactly compute the time-domain Green function of black hole perturbations in this simplified model, taking into account all causality conditions. We find the existence of an additional early times piece in the Green function, contributing to new exponentially growing modes just before the signal interacts with the maximum of the potential. The waveform itself is decomposed as an instantaneous piece traveling exactly on the light-cones of the Green function and a historical piece depending on the past trajectory of the system inside the light-cone. We also study redshift modes and show that the Regge-Wheeler-Zerilli Green function is regular at their frequency, with no zero nor pole.

All redshift-mode contributions to Schwarzschild black-hole ringdown waveforms vanish exactly because causality forces the source-integrated Green function to vanish on the light cone.
A bouncing singularity from a null geodesic sets the convergence of the QNM expansion for the Schwarzschild retarded Green's function.
Kerr QNM anomalies near algebraically special frequencies arise from avoided crossings with resonant excitation and pole skipping due to quasinormal-Matsubara pole-zero cancellations.
Refined propagation prescription for quasinormal modes excited by plunging particles confirms a bounce radius at r_*=0 and yields accurate reproduction of the post-bounce oscillatory waveform component from first principles.
Simulation-based inference reliably extracts physical parameters from noisy spectra of analogue black holes.
