Inital data for perturbed Kerr black holes on hyperboloidal slices    [PDF]

David Schinkel, Marcus Ansorg, Rodrigo Panosso Macedo
We construct initial data corresponding to a single perturbed Kerr black hole in vacuum. These data are defined on specific hyperboloidal slices on which the mean extrinsic curvature K asymptotically approaches a constant at future null infinity scri+. More precisely, we require that K obeys the Taylor expansion K=K0 + s^4 where K0 is a constant and s describes a compactified spatial coordinate such that scri+ is represented by s=0. We excise the singular interior of the black hole and assume a marginally outer trapped surface as inner boundary of the computational domain. The momentum and Hamiltonian constraints are solved by means of pseudo-spectral methods. We find exponential rates of convergence of our numerical solutions, and plan dynamical evolutions in a future project.
