Generic Kerr wave instability conjecture for compactly supported data

About 11 years old · traced to

Let Σ0\Sigma_0 be a Cauchy hypersurface in a subextremal rotating Kerr spacetime, and let ψ\psi solve the linear wave equation

□gψ=0.\Box_g\psi=0.

Assume the initial data on Σ0\Sigma_0 are smooth and compactly supported, and let the non-degenerate energy denote the energy associated with a non-degenerate timelike multiplier in the black-hole interior. Kerr wave instability conjecture. Generic smooth and compactly supported Cauchy data on Σ0\Sigma_0 give rise to solutions whose non-degenerate energy on every spacelike hypersurface intersecting the Cauchy horizon transversally is infinite. The analogous statement has been established for subextremal Reissner–Nordström spacetime, while the Kerr case remains open.
