Black Hole Perturbation Theory and Scattering Amplitudes in Gravitational Wave Analysis

Explore a 58-minute scientific lecture that delves into Black hole perturbation theory and its applications in studying massless linear perturbations of black holes. Learn about the Teukolsky master equation and its connection to Heun differential equations, while discovering how 2d conformal field theory methods yield innovative solutions related to traditional Mano-Suzuki-Takasugi solutions in general relativity. Understand the extraction of scattering amplitudes and their significance in gravitational wave phenomenology. Delivered by Yilber Fabian Bautista from IPhT Saclay at the Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques (IHES), this lecture offers valuable insights into advanced concepts in theoretical physics and their practical applications in understanding black hole dynamics.
