Boundedness and growth for the massive wave equation on asymptotically anti-de Sitter black holes

Understand

We study the global dynamics of free massive scalar fields on general, globally stationary, asymptotically AdS black hole backgrounds with Dirichlet-, Neumann- or Robin- boundary conditions imposed on $\psi$ at infinity.

• This class includes the regular Kerr-AdS black holes satisfying the Hawking Reall bound $r_+^2 > |a|l$.
• We establish a suitable criterion for linear stability (in the sense of uniform boundedness) of $\psi$ and demonstrate how the issue of stability can depend on the boundary condition prescribed.
• In particular, in the slowly rotating Kerr-AdS case, we obtain the existence of linear scalar hair (i.e.
