AI 中文摘要
通过黑洞微扰理论与自作用力计算，可实现对非对称致密双星引力波信号的精确预测。精准的波形模型需包含小质量比展开中一阶与二阶项的贡献。二阶克尔微扰问题因度规微扰方程的不可分离性及非线性模式耦合而变得复杂，这促使了本m-模式方法的提出。本研究为最终实现二阶克尔微扰的目标，首次在频域中通过m-模式计算一阶史瓦西度规微扰。我们将洛伦茨规范场方程作为描述每个m-模式的耦合椭圆型偏微分方程组求解。我们的Mathematica代码实现了场方程的二阶有限差分表示，并将其作为稀疏线性代数问题求解。小质量天体附近的正则化通过有效源方法实现，本研究提出了克尔时空中点质量奇异场的新穿刺展开。我们探究了近视界行为相关问题，并通过应用复杂的近视界边界条件缓解了这些问题。我们的结果展示了度规微扰各分量及m-模式的特征，且能够以足够精度计算引力波能量通量，为未来的二阶自作用力计算提供支持。
英文摘要
Accurate predictions of gravitational wave signals from asymmetric compact binaries are accessible through black hole perturbation theory and self-force calculations. Faithful waveform models will require contributions from first- and second-order terms in the small mass-ratio expansion. The problem of second-order Kerr perturbations is exacerbated by non-separability of the metric perturbation equations and non-linear mode coupling, which motivates this $m$-mode approach. This work moves towards the eventual goal of second-order Kerr perturbations by calculating first-order Schwarzschild metric perturbations via $m$-modes in the frequency domain for the first time. We solve the Lorenz gauge field equations as a system of coupled elliptic partial differential equations that govern each $m$-mode. Our Mathematica code implements a second-order finite difference representation of the field equations, which we solve as a sparse linear algebra problem. Regularization near the small body is achieved through the effective source method, and our presentation introduces a new puncture expansion of the singular field for a point mass in Kerr spacetime. Issues related to problematic near-horizon behavior are explored and then mitigated by applying sophisticated near-horizon boundary conditions. Our results illustrate the features of each component and $m$-mode of the metric perturbation, and we are able to calculate gravitational wave energy fluxes with sufficient accuracy to enable future second-order self-force calculations.
