The study of wave equations on black hole backgrounds provides important insights for the non-linear stability problem for black holes. I will illustrate this in the context of asymptotically anti de Sitter black holes and present both stability and instability results. In particular, I will outline the main ideas of recent work with J. Smulevici (Paris) establishing a logarithmic decay in time for solutions of the massive wave equation on Kerr-AdS black holes and proving that this slow decay rate is in fact sharp.
