This paper contains the first two parts (I-II) of a three-part series concerning the scalar wave equation \Box_g{\psi} = 0 on a fixed Kerr background. We here restrict to two cases: (II1) |a| \ll M, general {\psi} or (II2) |a| < M, {\psi}…

This paper explores ``black hole'' solutions of various Einstein-wave matter systems admitting an isometry of their domain of outer communications taking every point to its future. In the first two parts, it is shown that such solutions,…

We consider solutions to the linear wave equation in the interior region of extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om black holes. We show that, under suitable assumptions on the initial data, the solutions can be extended continuously beyond the…
We establish the existence of a conservative weak solution to the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear variational wave equation $u_{tt} - c(u)(c(u)u_x)_x=0$, for initial data of finite energy. Here $c(\cdot)$ is any smooth function with…

A common feature of regular black hole spacetimes is the presence of an inner Cauchy horizon. The analogy to the Reissner-Nordstr\"om solution then suggests that these geometries suffer from a mass-inflation effect, rendering the Cauchy…
We study the Cauchy problem for the semi-linear damped wave equation in any space dimension. We assume that the time-dependent damping term is effective. We prove the global existence of small energy data solutions in the supercritical…
