Observational and experimental questions in relativity and gravitational theory (83B05) Black holes (83C57)

Abstract: Binary black hole coalescence produces a finite burst of gravitational radiation which propagates towards quiescent infinity. 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.
