Hod–Piran asymptotic behaviour conjecture for weakly charged scalar fields

Let (ϕ,F)(\phi,F) be a solution of the Maxwell-Charged-Scalar field system with no particular symmetry assumption on a Reissner--Nordström space-time. Define the Maxwell charge QQ by

Fuv=2QΩ2r2.F_{uv}=\frac{2Q\Omega^2}{r^2}.

Suppose that the data for ϕ|\phi| is sufficiently decaying towards spatial infinity, and denote the asymptotic charge by

e=limv+QH+(v).e=\lim_{v\rightarrow +\infty}Q_{|\mathcal{H}^+}(v).

For ϵ>0\epsilon>0, there should exist δ>0\delta>0 such that, if q0e<δq_0|e|<\delta, then on the event horizon, null infinity, and a far-away curve γ\gamma with tuvrt\sim u\sim v\sim r, there are constants Γ0\Gamma_0, Γ0\Gamma'_0, and Γ0\Gamma”_0, and a function satisfying 0<η(q0e)<ϵ0<\eta(q_0e)<\epsilon, such that

ϕH+(v)Γ0eiq0err+v2+η(q0e),\phi_{|\mathcal{H}^+}(v)\sim \Gamma_0 e^{iq_0e\frac{r^*}{r_+}}v^{-2+\eta(q_0e)}, ψI+(u)Γ0(uv)iq0eu1+η(q0e),\psi_{|\mathcal{I}^+}(u)\sim \Gamma'_0\left(\frac{u}{v}\right)^{iq_0e}u^{-1+\eta(q_0e)}, ϕγ(t)Γ0tiq0ev2+η(q0e),\phi_{|\gamma}(t)\sim \Gamma”_0t^{iq_0e}v^{-2+\eta(q_0e)},

as v+v\rightarrow+\infty. Consequently, the energy on the specified VV foliation should satisfy

E(u)E0u3+2η(q0e)E(u)\sim E_0u^{-3+2\eta(q_0e)}

for a constant E0E_0. This conjecture predicts that weakly charged scalar fields decay more slowly than uncharged perturbations, with a rate depending on the asymptotic Maxwell charge; the asserted energy asymptotic is an implication rather than an explicitly stated part of the cited work.
