Gravitational radiation and angular momentum flux from a spinning dynamical black hole

Abstract

A four-dimensional asymptotic expansion scheme is used to study the next order effects of the nonlinearity near a spinning dynamical black hole. The angular momentum flux and energy flux formula are then obtained by asymptotic expansion and the compatibility of the coupling Newman-Penrose equations. After constructing the reference frame in terms of the compatible constant spinors, the energy-momentum flux is derived and it is related to the black hole area growth. Directly from the flux formula of the spinning dynamical horizon, we find that the physically reasonable condition on the positivity of the gravitational energy flux yields that the shear will monotonically decrease with time.
