Boundedness conjecture for axisymmetric scalar waves in extremal Kerr interiors

Let (M,g)(\mathcal M,g) be extremal Kerr spacetime with mass MM and angular momentum per unit mass aa, where M=a0M=|a|\neq 0. Let ϕ\phi be an axisymmetric solution of

gϕ=0\Box_g\phi=0

arising from sufficiently regular Cauchy data on a hypersurface Σ\Sigma, and let VV_- be regular at the Cauchy horizon CH+\mathcal C\mathcal H^+. Extremal Kerr interior conjecture. Throughout the maximal domain of dependence D+(Σ)\mathcal D^+(\Sigma), one has

ϕC,VϕC.|\phi|\leq C,\qquad |\partial_{V_-}\phi|\leq C.

This is proposed by analogy with the extremal Reissner–Nordström conjecture and known horizon stability and instability results; the source explicitly does not venture a conjecture for non-axisymmetric solutions.
