The Subject

A coherent self-contained account of the equations governing the perturbations of the Schwarzschild black hole is given. In particular, the relations between the equations of Bardeen & Press, of Zerilli and of Regge & Wheeler are explicitly established. The equations governing the perturbations of the vacuum Schwarzschild metric - the Schwarzschild black hole-have been the subject of many investigations (Regge & Wheeler 1957; Vishveshwara 1970; Edelstein & Vishveshwara 1970; Zerilli 1970 a, b ; Fackerell 1971; Bardeen & Press 1972; Friedman 1973). Nevertheless, there continues to be some elements of mystery shrouding the subject. Thus, Zerilli (1970a) showed that the equations governing the perturbation, properly analysed into spherical harmonics (belonging to the different l values) and with a time dependence iot , can be reduced to a one dimensional Schrodinger equation of the form

In this paper, we consider relativistic quantum field theory in the presence of an external electric potential in a general curved spacetime geometry. We utilize Fermi coordinates adapted to the time-like geodesic to describe the low-energy physics in the laboratory and calculate the leading correction due to the curvature of the spacetime geometry to the Schrödinger equation. We then compute the nonvanishing probability of excitation for a hydrogen atom that falls in or is scattered by a general Schwarzschild black hole. The photon emitted from the excited state by spontaneous emission extracts energy from the black hole, increases the decay rate of the black hole and adds to the information paradox.

Schwarzschild Geometry

This chapter discusses the Schwarzschild black hole. It demonstrates how, by a judicious change of coordinates, it is possible to eliminate the singularity of the Schwarzschild metric and reveal a spacetime that is much larger, like that of a black hole. At the end of its thermonuclear evolution, a star collapses and, if it is sufficiently massive, does not become stabilized in a new equilibrium configuration. The Schwarzschild geometry must therefore represent the gravitational field of such an object up to r = 0. This being said, the Schwarzschild metric in its original form is singular, not only at r = 0 where the curvature diverges, but also at r = 2m, a surface which is crossed by geodesics.

Symmetry Properties

Chapter 7 illustrates the results obtained by applying the Schrödinger equation to a simple pedagogical quantum system, the particle in a one-dimensional box. The wave functions are seen to be sine waves; their wavelengths are evaluated and used to calculate the quantized energies via the de Broglie relation. An energy-level diagram of some of the energies is constructed; on it are illustrations of the corresponding wave functions and probability distributions. The wave functions are seen to be either symmetric or antisymmetric about the midpoint of the line representing the box, thereby providing a lead-in to the later exploration of certain symmetry properties of multi-electron atoms. It is next pointed out that the Schrödinger equation for this system is identical to Newton’s equation describing the vibrations of a stretched musical string. The different meaning of the two solutions is discussed, as is the concept and structure of linear superpositions of them.

Order Four

A new twelfth-order four-step formula containing fourth derivatives for the numerical integration of the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation has been developed. It was found that by adding multi-derivative terms, the stability of a linear multi-step method can be improved and the interval of periodicity of this new method is larger than that of the Numerov's method. The numerical test shows that the new method is superior to the previous lower orders in both accuracy and efficiency and it is specially applied to the problem when an increasing accuracy is requested.

Adaptive Wavelet Method

In this paper, we present a dynamically adaptive wavelet method for solving Schrodinger equation on one-dimensional, two-dimensional and on the sphere. Solving one-dimensional and two-dimensional Schrodinger equations are based on Daubechies wavelet with finite difference method on an arbitrary grid, and for spherical Schrodinger equation is based on spherical wavelet over an optimal spherical geodesic grid. The method is applied to the solution of Schrodinger equation for computational efficiency and achieve accuracy with controlling spatial grid adaptation — high resolution computations are performed only in regions where a solution varies greatly (i.e., near steep gradients, or near-singularities) and a much coarser grid where the solution varies slowly. Thereupon the dynamic adaptive wavelet method is useful to analyze local structure of solution with very less number of computational cost than any other methods. The prowess and computational efficiency of the adaptive wavelet method is demonstrated for the solution of Schrodinger equation on one-dimensional, two-dimensional and on the sphere.

<p>In this thesis, we explore the subject of complex spacetimes, in which the mathematical theory of complex manifolds gets modified for application to General Relativity. We will also explore the mysterious Newman-Janis trick, which is an elementary and quite short method to obtain the Kerr black hole from the Schwarzschild black hole through the use of complex variables. This exposition will cover variations of the Newman-Janis trick, partial explanations, as well as original contributions.</p>
