These spacetimes are analytic about infinity and contain a dimensionless coupling constant $M/s$, where $M$ denotes the total mass-energy and $s$ an imaginary distance. This introduces globally convergent Fourier series on a complex radial coordinate, allowing spectral representation of black hole spacetimes in all three dimensions. We illustrate this representation theory on a Fourier-Legendre expansion of Boyer-Lindquist initial data and a scalar wave equation with signal recovery by Cauchy's integral formula.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-06-09T01:14:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "black hole spacetimes", "global spectral representations", "complex plane", "binary black hole coalescence produces", "boyer-lindquist initial data" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 684477 } } }
