Kerr–de Sitter Cauchy-horizon extendibility conjecture

Let (M,g)(\mathcal{M},g) be the maximal Cauchy development for the Einstein vacuum equations with positive cosmological constant of sufficiently small perturbations of subextremal Kerr–de Sitter data with nn black-hole regions and initial topology S1×S2\mathbb{S}^1\times\mathbb{S}^2. Kerr–de Sitter extendibility conjecture. The spacetime is future, respectively past, extendible to (M~,g~)(\widetilde{\mathcal{M}},\widetilde{g}) with C0C^0 metric g~\widetilde{g}, such that M\partial\mathcal{M} is the union of nn bifurcate null cones and all incomplete future, respectively past, inextendible geodesics of M\mathcal{M} pass into M~M\widetilde{\mathcal{M}}\setminus\mathcal{M}. This is the vacuum analogue of the stated spherically symmetric Reissner–Nordström–de Sitter stability result and challenges strong cosmic censorship at low regularity for positive cosmological constant; the full assertion remains open.
