The stability conjecture for Kerr–de Sitter quasinormal modes

For Kerr--de Sitter parameters aa, Λ\Lambda, and MM satisfying

(1Λa23)3>9ΛM2,\left(1-\frac{\Lambda a^2}{3}\right)^3>9\Lambda M^2,

and lying in the shaded region specified by the source, quasinormal modes are complex frequencies λ\lambda for which there is a nonzero u(r,θ,ϕ)u(r,\theta,\phi) satisfying the separated wave equation and extending smoothly across both horizons. Kerr--de Sitter mode-stability conjecture. Every such λ0\lambda\ne0 satisfies Imλ<0\operatorname{Im}\lambda<0, and λ=0\lambda=0 is a simple resonance. Results cited in the source establish this absence of nondecaying modes in some parameter ranges, but not the stated large range.
