An L-pole perturbation in Schwarzschild spacetime generally falls off at late times t as t^{-2L-3}. It has recently been pointed out by Karkowski, Swierczynski and Malec, that for initial data that is of compact support, and is initially momentarily static, the late-time behavior is different, going as t^{-2L-4}. By considering the Laplace transforms of the fields, we show here why the momentarily stationary case is exceptional. We also explain, using a time-domain description, the special features of the time development in this exceptional case.

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.
Discrete symmetries of modified Teukolsky equations
gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

Complex modifications of the Teukolsky potential break m=0 QNM degeneracy and can inject non-physical mode branches when frequency-domain multipole-dependent potentials are evolved in time.
Confronting eikonal and post-Kerr methods with numerical evolution of scalar field perturbations in spacetimes beyond Kerr
gr-qc 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0

Numerical simulations benchmark the eikonal and post-Kerr approximations for quasinormal modes in deformed Kerr spacetimes, quantifying their errors relative to expected observational precision.
