Exact Solutions of Regge-Wheeler and Teukolsky Equations The Regge-Wheeler (RW) equation describes the axial perturbations of Schwarzschild metric in linear approximation. The Teukolsky Equations describe perturbations of Kerr metric. We present here: Their exact solutions in terms of confluent Heun’s functions. The basic properties of the RW general solution. Novel analytical approach and numerical techniques for study of different boundary problems which correspond to quasi-normal modes of black holes and other simple models of compact objects. The exact solutions of RW equation in the Schwarzschild BH interior. The exact solutions of Teukolsky master equations (TME). New singular exact solutions of TME and their application to the theory of the relativistic jets.

Known Numerical studies and approximate analytical methods for BH BC. The standard ansatz separates variables. The “stationary” RWE: One needs proper boundary conditions (BC). Known Numerical studies and approximate analytical methods for BH BC. See the wonderful reviews: V. Ferrary (1998), K. D. Kokkotas & B. G. Schmidt (1999), H-P. Nollert (1999). V. Ferrari, L. Gualtieri (2007). and some basic results in: S. Chandrasekhar & S. L. Detweiler (1975), E. W. Leaver (1985), N. Andersson (1992), and many others!
Exact mathematical treatment: PPF, In r variable RWE reads: The ansatz: reduces the RWE to a specific type of 1889 Heun equation: with
Thus one obtains a confluent Heun equation with: 2 regular singular points: r=0 and r=1, and 1 irregular singular point: in the complex plane Note that after all the horizon r=1 turns to be a singular point in contrary to the widespread opinion. From geometrical point of view the horizon is indeed a regular point (or a 2D surface) in the Schwarzschild Riemannian space-time manifold: It is a singularity, which is placed in the (co) tangent fiber of the (co) tangent foliation: and is “invisible” from point of view of the base .
The local solutions (one regular + one singular) around the singular points: X=0, 1, Frobenius type of solutions: Tome (asymptotic) type of solutions:
Different types of boundary problems: I. BH boundary problems: two-singular-points boundary. Up to recently only the QNM problem on [1, ), i.e. on the BH exterior, was studied numerically and using different analytical approximations. We present here exact treatment of this problem, as well as of the problems on [0,1] (i.e. in BH interior), and on [0, ).
QNM on [0, ) by Maple 10: -i Using the condition: One obtains by Maple 10 for the first 5 eigenvalues: and 12 figures - for n=0:

The special solutions with : These: form an orthogonal basis with respect to the weight: do not depend on the variable . are the only solutions, which are finite at both singular ends of the interval .
The discrete spectrum - pure imaginary eigenvalues: Ferrari-Mashhoon transformation: For : Additional parameter – mixing angle : Spectral condition – for arbitrary : “falling at the centre” problem operator with defect
Numerical results For the first 18 eigenvalues one obtains: For alpha =0 – no outgoing waves: Two potential weels –> two series: Two series: n=0,…,6; and n=7,… exist. The eigenvalues In them are placed around the lines and .
Perturbations of Kruskal-Szekeres manifold In this case the solution can be obtained from functions imposing the additional condition which may create a spectrum: It annulates the coming from the space-infinity waves. The numerical study for the case l=s=2 shows that it is impossible to fulfill the last condition and to have some nontrivial spectrum of perturbations in Kruskal-Szekeres manifold.

Some basic conclusions: Heun’s functions are a powerful tool for study of all types of solutions of the Regge-Wheer and the Teukolsky master equations. Using Heun’s functions one can easily study different boundary problems for perturbations of metric. The solution of the Dirichlet boundary problem gives an unique hint for the experimental study of the old problem: Whether in the observed in the Nature invisible very compact objects with strong gravitational fields there exist really hole in the space-time ? => resolution of the problem of the real existence of BH The exact singular solutions of TME can describe relativistic jets.
