Quadratic quasinormal modes encode fundamental properties of black hole spacetimes. They are also one of the key ingredients of nonlinearities of General Relativity in the ringdown stage of binary black hole coalescence. In this work, we classify all possible quadratic coupling channels of quasinormal modes for a generic Kerr black hole, and use a frequency-domain pseudospectral code with hyperboloidal slicing to calculate these couplings. After accounting for all the channels in systems with reflection symmetry, our results become consistent with those extracted from numerical simulations and time-domain fits. This agreement provides a compelling example demonstrating the success of black hole second-order perturbation theory. We also explore potential applications of our calculations in future ringdown data analysis by carrying out a detectability survey for various quadratic modes. We find that a few of them are observationally relevant for third-generation ground-based detectors like Cosmic Explorer, as well as the space-borne detector LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna).

Merging black holes with Cauchy-characteristic matching: Computation of late-time tails
First fully nonlinear Cauchy-characteristic matching simulations of binary black hole mergers are stable and accurate, and they expose late-time tails with decay exponents near -3.5 to -3.8.

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

Probing Direct Waves in Black Hole Ringdowns
Merger gravitational wave signals contain a 'direct wave' from the plunging companions, screened by the remnant's potential, with frequency near the superradiant value for high-spin remnants and SNR above 10 in GW1509...

Nonlinearities in Kerr Black Hole Ringdown from the Penrose Limit
Kerr quadratic quasi-normal mode amplitudes and phases are computed analytically in the eikonal limit via the Penrose limit, giving an explicit spin-dependent nonlinearity ratio.

Extremal Black Hole Weather
Near-extremal Kerr black holes admit an equilibrium spectrum of non-linearly interacting quasinormal modes with amplitudes decaying as 2^{-ell/2} ell^{-7/2}, suggesting an inverse cascade toward large-scale structure.

GW250114 reveals black hole horizon signatures
The merger signal of GW250114 contains a residual 'direct wave' component whose frequency and damping match the remnant horizon's rotation frequency and surface gravity.

Can We Detect Deviations from Einstein's Gravity in Black Hole Ringdowns?
Higher-derivative corrections to black hole ringdown spectra and quadratic modes are either absent or suppressed below detectability once causality is enforced, leaving Einstein's gravity as the sole observable description.
