Decay and non-decay for the massless Vlasov equation on subextremal and extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om black holes

Understand

We study the massless Vlasov equation on the exterior of the subextremal and extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om spacetimes.

• We prove that moments decay at an exponential rate in the subextremal case and at a polynomial rate in the extremal case.
• This polynomial rate is shown to be sharp along the event horizon.
• In the extremal case we show that transversal derivatives of certain components of the energy momentum tensor do not decay along the event horizon if the solution and its first time derivative are initially supported on a neighbourhood of the event horizon.
