Generic Kerr Arnold-diffusion conjecture near the photon shell

Let NεN_\varepsilon be the perturbed normally hyperbolic invariant manifold associated with the Kerr photon shell, and let (a,M,E,Q,Lz)(a,M,E,Q,L_z) satisfy the conditions in assumption (2) of Theorem 1. For the relevant interval (R)\ell(\mathcal R), let (E)<+(E)\ell_-(E)<\ell_+(E) be its two endpoints. Generic Kerr diffusion conjecture near the photon shell. For a generic stationary perturbation of the Kerr metric, for every δ>0\delta>0 there is an ε0\varepsilon_0 such that, whenever ε<ε0|\varepsilon|<\varepsilon_0, an orbit on NεN_\varepsilon and times T,TT,T' exist with

Lz(T)E(E)<δ,Lz(T)E+(E)<δ.|L_z(T)-E\ell_-(E)|<\delta,\qquad |L_z(T')-E\ell_+(E)|<\delta.

For a generic perturbation that is 11-periodic in τ\tau, for every δ>0\delta>0 there is an orbit visiting every δ\delta-ball centered at {HN^ε=1/2}\{H_{\hat N_\varepsilon}=-1/2\} on N^ε\hat N_\varepsilon, provided ε\varepsilon is sufficiently small. These assertions extend the Schwarzschild diffusion picture to Kerr, but the source supplies no resolution evidence.
