4 Introduction The Kerr black hole solution is expected to be unique and dynamically stable. Kerr is algebraically special, of Petrov type D. This property is essential for uniqueness and stability. Spinor methods allow one to exploit the special geometry of Kerr. A key problem for stability is to prove dispersive estimates fields on Kerr. For scalar waves this is well understood. In the case of fields with integer spin (Maxwell and linearized gravity) one encounters new difficulties: non-radiating modes lack of conservation laws For Maxwell on slowly rotating Kerr, dispersive estimates are known. For linearized gravity this is open. Lars Andersson (AEI) Potentials and linearized gravity Sanya 3 / 47

70 Maxwell conservation laws Higher order conserved stress-energy Theorem (L.A., Bäckdahl, & Blue, 2014, Aksteiner, L.A., & Bäckdahl, 2016b) 1 The Maxwell TSI is the Euler-Lagrange equation for S = η AA η AA (1) 2 The action (1) has energy-momentum tensor V ab = η AB η A B + η BA η B A L ξφ A B Θ AB L ξφ AB ΘA B 3 V ab is is conserved, a V ab = 0.

71 Maxwell conservation laws Higher order conserved stress-energy Remark V ab is quadratic in first derivatives of the Maxwell field, in contrast to the standard Maxwell energy-momentum tensor T ab = φ AB φa B. The leading order term η AB η A B + η BA η B A in V ab satisfies the dominant energy condtion. The non-radiating Coloumb field on Kerr is up to a normalization φ Coloumb AB = 2κ 2 1 o (Aι B), with components (φ Coloumb i ) = (0, κ 2 1, 0), and is therefore cancelled by V ab. This allows one to prove dispersive estimates for Maxwell using V ab. Lars Andersson (AEI) Potentials and linearized gravity Sanya 36 / 47
