Stationary, asymptotically flat, black hole solutions of the vacuum field equations of General Relativity belong to the Kerr family. But how does one approach this state, dynamically? Linearized fluctuations decay at late times, at fixed spatial position, as a Price power law for generic initial conditions. However, little attention was paid to forced and nonlinear spacetimes, where matter and nonlinearities play a role. We uncover a new, source-driven tail governing waves generated by pointlike matter and nonlinearities, which can dominate over Price's decay.

  1. Foundations of Direct Waves in Schwarzschild Ringdown

    gr-qc 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0

    Direct waves in filtered Schwarzschild ringdown are the anti-causal filter-pole contribution sourced by near-horizon trajectory dynamics and do not vanish.

  2. Spectral suppression of black hole ringdown tails

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Spectral properties of oscillatory sources suppress the branch-cut contribution to black hole ringdown tails, explaining their absence in quasi-circular mergers.

  3. Can Oscillatory and Persistent Nonlinearities Be Bridged in Black Hole Ringdown?

    gr-qc 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Quadratic quasinormal modes and Christodoulou memory effect are related through bridge coefficients depending primarily on remnant black hole parameters.

  4. Nonlinear tails of massive scalar fields around a black hole

    gr-qc 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Nonlinear tails of massive scalar fields around black holes decay at the same rate as linear tails during intermediate times, independent of sources or initial conditions.

  5. Can Oscillatory and Persistent Nonlinearities Be Bridged in Black Hole Ringdown?

    gr-qc 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Quadratic quasinormal modes and the memory effect in black hole ringdown are related through bridge coefficients that depend primarily on remnant black hole parameters.
