Ori's conjecture on perturbations of two-ended Kerr data

Let (M,g)(\mathcal{M},g) be the maximal vacuum Cauchy development of sufficiently small perturbations of asymptotically flat two-ended Kerr data corresponding to parameters 0<a<M0<|a|<M. A future or past extension is an extension (M~,g~)(\widetilde{\mathcal{M}},\widetilde{g}) of M\mathcal{M} with C0C^0 metric g~\widetilde{g}. Ori's conjecture. There exist both a future and past extension (M~,g~)(\widetilde{\mathcal{M}},\widetilde{g}) such that M\partial\mathcal{M} is a bifurcate null cone in M~\widetilde{\mathcal{M}} and all future, respectively past, incomplete geodesics in γ\gamma pass into M~M\widetilde{\mathcal{M}}\setminus\mathcal{M}. Moreover, for generic such perturbations, any C0C^0 extension has no L2L^2 Christoffel symbols in a neighbourhood of any point of M\partial\mathcal{M}. This conjecture predicts a weakly singular Cauchy horizon for generic perturbations of subextremal Kerr, extending the corresponding symmetric-model picture; it remains open in the full vacuum, nonsymmetric setting.
