Linear Stability of Schwarzschild-Anti-de Sitter spacetimes II: Logarithmic decay of solutions to the Teukolsky system
Résumé
We prove boundedness and inverse logarithmic decay in time of solutions to the Teukolsky equations on Schwarzschild-Anti-de Sitter backgrounds with standard boundary conditions originating from fixing the conformal class of the non-linear metric on the boundary. The proofs rely on (1) a physical space transformation theory between the Teukolsky equations and the Regge-Wheeler equations on Schwarzschild-Anti de Sitter backgrounds and (2) novel energy and Carleman estimates handling the coupling of the two Teukolsky equations through the boundary conditions thereby generalising earlier work of \cite{Hol.Smu13} for the covariant wave equation. Specifically, we also produce purely physical space Carleman estimates.
