abstract

Quadratic quasi-normal modes, generated at second order in black hole perturbation theory, are a promising target for testing gravity in the nonlinear regime with next-generation gravitational wave detectors. While their frequencies have long been known, their amplitudes remain poorly studied. We introduce regular variables and compute amplitudes for Schwarzschild black holes with the Leaver algorithm. We find a nonlinear ratio $\mathcal{R}\simeq0.154e^{-0.068i}$ for the most excited $\ell=4$ mode, matching results from Numerical Relativity. We also predict new low-frequency $\ell=2$ quadratic modes.

Black Hole Ringdown Nonlinearities in the Large-D Limit

gr-qc · 2026-06-22 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

In the large-D limit, analytic third-order nonlinear corrections to quasinormal modes improve ringdown modeling accuracy by several orders of magnitude for head-on black hole collisions.

Prompt Response from Plunging Sources in Schwarzschild Spacetime

gr-qc · 2026-04-09 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

The prompt response is ~1.2 times stronger than quasinormal mode excitation during inspiral and enables 99% accurate reconstruction of the full inspiral-merger-ringdown waveform when combined with other components.

Green function of the P\"{o}schl-Teller potential

gr-qc · 2025-10-20 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Exact time-domain Green function computed for the Pöschl-Teller approximation to black-hole perturbation potentials, revealing additional early-time exponentially growing modes and a light-cone plus historical waveform decomposition.
