Non-vanishing charge conjecture for generic black holes

At least 14 years old · documented by

Consider smooth developments of the Einstein–Maxwell–Klein–Gordon system as in Theorem 1.1, with coupling parameter e≠0\mathfrak{e}\neq 0. Let Q+\mathcal{Q}^+ be the quotient spacetime, J−(I+)J^-(\mathcal{I}^+) the causal past of future null infinity, and Q+Q_+ the asymptotic charge of the black hole. Non-vanishing charge conjecture. Among all the data admissible from Theorem 1.1 with e≠0\mathfrak{e}\neq 0, there exists a generic sub-class for which, if the maximal future development has

Q+\J−(I+)≠∅,\mathcal{Q}^+\backslash J^-(\mathcal{I}^+)\neq\emptyset,

then the asymptotic charge Q+Q_+ of the black hole is non-zero.

The conjecture asserts that charged black holes are generically not completely neutralized by radiation to infinity. The supplied text gives no resolution.
