Spin-2 Green's Functions on Kerr in Radiation Gauge (2402.15468v2)
Abstract: We construct retarded and advanced Green's functions for gravitational perturbations in Kerr in an ingoing radiation gauge. Our Green's functions have a frequency domain piece that has previously been obtained by Ori [Phys. Rev. D 67 (2003)] based on the Chrzanowski-Cohen-Kegeles metric reconstruction method. As is well known, this piece by itself is not sufficient to obtain an actual Green's function. We show how to complete it with a piece based on a method by Green et al. [Class. Quant. Grav. 37 (2020)]. The completion piece has a completely explicit form in the time-domain and is supported on pairs of points on the same outgoing principal null geodesic which are in the appropriate causal order. We expect our Green's functions to be useful for gravitational self-force calculations and other perturbation problems on Kerr spacetime.
