Scattering-data conjecture for Kerr-de Sitter spacetimes

From papers

Fix Kerr-de Sitter parameters b\mathsf{b}. Let RαHbR^\alpha H_{\mathrm{b}}^\infty and RαHbdR^\alpha H_{\mathrm{b}}^d denote the indicated weighted b-Sobolev spaces, and suppose that for m=0,3m=0,3 we are given tensors h(m),ij=h(m),ij(R,ω)h_{(m),ij}=h_{(m),ij}(R,\omega) in RαHbR^\alpha H_{\mathrm{b}}^\infty for RR0R\leq R_0, with sufficiently small RαHbdR^\alpha H_{\mathrm{b}}^d norms for some sufficiently large dd. Set

g(0)=dx2+h(0),g(3)=gb,(3)+h(3).g_{(0)}=\mathrm{d}x^2+h_{(0)},\qquad g_{(3)}=g_{\mathsf{b},(3)}+h_{(3)}.

Assume that g(3)g_{(3)} is a weighted transverse-traceless tensor with respect to g(0)g_{(0)}. Scattering-data conjecture. There exists a solution gg of the Einstein vacuum equations in a neighborhood of {RR0}I+\{R\leq R_0\}\subset\mathcal I^+ with scattering data g(0),g(3)g_{(0)},g_{(3)}, and gg is asymptotic to the Kerr-de Sitter metric with parameters b\mathsf{b} at K\mathcal K. This conjecture proposes nonlinear local realization of sufficiently small admissible perturbations of Kerr-de Sitter scattering data; the preceding discussion explains that the Fefferman--Graham expansion is determined by this data, while the existence assertion remains unresolved in the supplied text.
