It has long been suggested that solutions to linear scalar wave equation $$\Box_g\phi=0$$ on a fixed subextremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om spacetime with non-vanishing charge are generically singular at the Cauchy horizon. We prove that generic…
We prove that a large class of smooth solutions $\psi$ to the linear wave equation $\Box_g\psi=0$ on subextremal rotating Kerr spacetimes which are regular and decaying along the event horizon become singular at the Cauchy horizon. More…
We consider smooth solutions of the wave equation, on a fixed black hole region of a subextremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om (asymptotically flat, de Sitter or anti-de Sitter) spacetime, whose restrictions to the event horizon have compact…
We consider solutions of the scalar wave equation $\Box_g\phi=0$, without symmetry, on fixed subextremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om backgrounds $({\mathcal M}, g)$ with nonvanishing charge. Previously, it has been shown that for $\phi$ arising…

Motivated by the strong cosmic censorship conjecture, we study the linear scalar wave equation in the interior of subextremal strictly charged Reissner-Nordstr\"om black holes by analyzing a suitably-defined "scattering map" at $0$…
We consider solutions of the massless scalar wave equation $\Box_g\psi=0$, without symmetry, on fixed subextremal Kerr backgrounds $(\mathcal M, g)$. It follows from previous analyses in the Kerr exterior that for solutions $\psi$ arising…
We study the nonlinear stability of the Cauchy horizon in the interior of extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om black holes under spherical symmetry. We consider the Einstein-Maxwell-Klein-Gordon system such that the charge of the scalar field is…
Motivated by the Strong Cosmic Censorship Conjecture for asymptotically AdS spacetimes, we initiate the study of massive scalar waves satisfying $\Box_g \psi - \mu \psi =0$ on the interior of Anti-de Sitter (AdS) black holes. We prescribe…
We show non-linear stability and instability results in spherical symmetry for the interior of a charged black hole -approaching a sub-extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om background fast enough at infinity- in presence of a massive and charged…
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 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…
A perturbed Reissner-Nordstr\"om-de Sitter solution is used to emphasize the nature of the singularity along the Cauchy horizon of a charged spherically symmetric black hole. For these solutions, conditions may prevail under which the mass…
We study spherically symmetric solutions of semilinear wave equations in the case where the nonlinearity satisfies the null condition on extremal Reissner--Nordstrom black hole spacetimes. We show that solutions which arise from…
We study the following problem: Given initial data on a compact Cauchy horizon, does there exist a unique solution to wave equations on the globally hyperbolic region? Our main results apply to any spacetime satisfying the null energy…
We show that linear scalar waves are bounded and continuous up to the Cauchy horizon of Reissner-Nordstr\"om-de Sitter and Kerr-de Sitter spacetimes, and in fact decay exponentially fast to a constant along the Cauchy horizon. We obtain our…
Ever since Penrose and Simpson contradicted Novikov's prediction that an infalling passenger would emerge into an asymptotically flat universe, there have been a continued interest in predicting the nature of singularity at the Cauchy…
