18 In the new coordinates with fast plasma flow, the wave packet has monotonic amplitude profile and then could not send a signal It seems that monotonic wave decreases. This shape of the wave is not wave packet anymore. The wave packet is not Lorentz invariant.
19 Wave-packet is not Lorentz invariant, and then cannot be accept as a relativistic object. The group velocity, which represents propagation velocity of wave packet, is not relativistic quantity. In fact, the definition of the group velocity, vg= ω k, is not scalar nor covariant variable. We cannot discuss causality using the group velocity. Instead of group velocity, head velocity vh=lim k ω k presents the propagation velocity of information. In resistive RMHD, the head velocity is light speed, and Lorentz invariant. Concerning causality, there is no limitation of standard resistive GRMHD! Koide & Morino, Phys. Rev. D, 84, , Jackson, Classical Electrodynamics (1962).

42 Summary I present the basis of resistive GRMHD, with respect to plasma dynamics around black holes, the standard equations, and its causality. I performed simulations of resistive GRMHD with splitmonopole magnetic field around black holes. The primary results showed spontaneous magnetic reconnection. I proposed a model, daruma-otoshi mechanism of magnetic reconnection around black holes. The numerical results suggest even in initial uniform magnetic field case, the magnetic reconnection is caused spontaneously around the rotating black hole. In conclusion, in black hole magnetosphere, it is full of magnetic reconnection!
43 Future plans Further calculations and analysis of magnetic reconnection around black holes are needed to confirm the mechanism of the magnetic reconnection near the black hole. To perform numerical simulations with longer-term, more realistic magnetic field configuration and clarify importance of magnetic reconnection around astrophysical black holes, numerical code with more precise numerical methods, such as HLLD, are required. Radiation should be included in GRMHD simulations. I consider test EM wave calculation with resistive GRMHD. Comparison between magnetic field configurations suggested by our future precise numerical simulations and forthcoming radio observations with high spatial resolution.
