The Never Ending Tale of Price's Tail (yet one more time again)
ORAL
Abstract
The Price tail of black hole perturbations has been studied extensively over the last three decades. Surprisingly, there is still some confusion regarding the fine details of the phenomenon -- even for the Schwarzschild spacetime that is usually considered to have been fully solved as early as 1972. We consider here higher-order (in inverse time) corrections to the power-law tail, and discuss Hod's result that the correction includes a logarithmic term. By carefully analyzing numerical data we conclude that no logarithmic correction terms are expected.
