Abstract: Perturbation theory of rotating black holes is described in terms of the Weyl scalars psi4 and psi0; each satisfying the Teukolsky's complex master wave equation with spin s=mp2, and respectively representing outgoing and ingoing radiation. We explicitly construct the metric perturbations out of these Weyl scalars in the Regge-Wheeler gauge in the nonrotating limit. We propose a generalization of the Regge-Wheeler gauge for Kerr background in the Newman-Penrose language, and discuss the approach for building up the perturbed spacetime of a rotating black hole. We also provide both-way relationships between waveforms defined in the metric and curvature approaches in the time domain, also known as the (inverse-) Chandrasekhar transformations, generalized to include matter.
