Black hole memory
Adel A. Rahman, Robert M. Wald
Abstract
Relative positions of test particles located near null infinity will not return to their original values once a gravitational wave passes through the system. This is known as the gravitational memory effect. In this paper, the authors define and study the properties of a similar memory effect for stationary black holes, which could be of interest for the investigation of classical and quantum aspects of black holes, particularly black hole information issues.
