Verification of the spin-weighted spheroidal equation in the case of s=1

The spin-weighted spheroidal equation in the case of s = 1 is studied. By transforming the independent variables, we make it take the Schrdinger-like form. This Schrdinger-like equation is very interesting in itself. We investigate it by using super-symmetric quantum mechanics and obtain the ground eigenvalue and eigenfunction, which are consistent with the results previously obtained.     

异地时钟同步与时间的度量

介绍了庞加莱等人关于"异地时钟同步"和"相继时间段(绵延)相等"的思考,介绍了爱因斯坦"约定"异地时钟"同时"的方案,以及朗道等人对该方案的发展.我们赞同庞加莱的设想,即对光速传播性质的约定是时间测量的基础,并指出对光速的约定相当于对时空对称性的约定.我们在"约定光速的基础上"给出了钟速同步具有传递性的条件,不仅解决了"异地坐标钟钟速同步"的定义问题,而且解决了"相继时间段相等"的定义问题,证实了庞加莱原初的猜想,简化了时间测量的理论基础.     

Spin-weighted spheroidal equation in the case of s=1

We present a series of studies to solve the spin-weighted spheroidal wave equation by using the method of super-symmetric quantum mechanics. We first obtain the first four terms of super-potential of the spin-weighted spheroidal wave equation in the case of s = 1. These results may help summarize the general form for the n-th term of the super-potential, which is proved to be correct by means of induction. Then we compute the eigen-values and the eigen- functions for the ground state. Finally, the shape-invariance property is proved and the eigen-values and eigen-functions for excited states are obtained. All the results may be of significance for studying the electromagnetic radiation processes near rotating black holes and computing the radiation reaction in curved space-time.     

Solving the spin-weighted spheroidal wave equation

In this paper we solve spin-weighted spheroidal wave equations through super-symmetric quantum mechanics with a different expression of the super-potential. We use the shape invariance property to compute the ＂excited＂ eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. The results are beneficial to researchers for understanding the properties of the spin-weighted spheroidal wave more deeply, especially its integrability.     

A New Method to Solve the Spheroidal Wave Equations

The perturbation method in supersymmetric quantum mechanics is used to study the spheroidal wave functions＇ eigenvalue problem. The super-potential are solved in series of the parameter α, and the general form of all its terms is obtained. This means that the spheroidal problem is solved completely in the way for the ground eigen-value problem. The shape invariance property is proved retained for the super-potential and subsequently all the excited eigen-value problem could be solved. The results show that the spheroidal wave equations are integrable.

Integral Equations for the Spin-Weighted Spheroidal Wave Functions

We present new integral equations for the spin-weighted spheroidal wave functions which in turn should lead to global uniform estimates and should help in particular in the study of their dependence on the parameters. For the prolate spheroidal wavefunction with m=0, there exists the integral equation whose kernel is （sin x）/x, and the sinc function kernel （sin x）/x is of great mathematical significance. We also extend the similar sinc function kernel （sin x）/x to the case m≠0 and s≠0, which interestingly turn out as some kind of Hankel transformations.     

Solving ground eigenvalue and eigenfunction of spheroidal wave equation at low frequency by supersymmetric quantum mechanics method

The spheroidal wave functions are found to have extensive applications in many branches of physics and mathematics. We use the perturbation method in supersymmetric quantum mechanics to obtain the analytic ground eigenvalue and the ground eigenfunction of the angular spheroidal wave equation at low frequency in a series form. Using this approach, the numerical determinations of the ground eigenvalue and the ground eigenfunction for small complex frequencies are also obtained.     

Restudy of the stability problem of the Schwarzschild black hole

The stability of the Schwarzschild black hole is restudied in the Painlevé coordinates. Using the Painlevé time coordinate to define the initial time, we reconsider the odd perturbation and find that the Schwarzschild black hole in the Painlevé coordinates is unstable. The Painlevé metric in this paper corresponds to the white-hole-connected region of the Schwarzschild black hole (r>2m) and the odd perturbation may be regarded as the angular perturbation. Therefore, the white-hole-connected region of the Schwarzschild black hole is unstable with respect to the rotating perturbation.     

Ground State Eigenfunction of Spheroidal Wave Functions

We study the spin-weighted spheroidal wave functions in the case of s = m = 0. Their eigenvalue problem is investigated by the perturbation method in supersymmetric quantum mechanics. In the first three terms of parameter a = a^2 w^2, the ground eigenvalue and eigenfunction are obtained. The obtained ground eigenfunction is elegantly in dosed forms. These results are new and very useful for the application of the spheroidal wave functions.
