Abstract:
We present new results from two codes, using finite differencing and
pseudo-spectral methods for the wave equations in (3+1) dimensions. We use a
hyperboloidal transformation which allows direct access to null infinity and
simplifies the control over characteristic speeds on Kerr-Schild backgrounds.
We show that this method is ideal for attaching hyperboloidal slices or for
adapting the numerical resolution in certain spacetime regions. As an example
application, we study late-time Kerr tails of sub-dominant modes and obtain new
insight into the splitting of decay rates. The involved conformal wave equation
is freed of formally singular terms whose numerical evaluation might be
problematically close to future null infinity.
