The wave equation on the Schwarzschild metric II. Local decay for the spin-2 Regge–Wheeler equation

The wave equation on the Schwarzschild metric II. Local decay for the spin-2 Regge–Wheeler equation

Odd-type spin 2 perturbations of Einstein's equation can be reduced to the scalar Regge-Wheeler equation. We show that the weighted norms of solutions are in L^2 of time and space. This result uses commutator methods and applies uniformly to all relevant spherical harmonics.
