Low-regularity Kerr stability threshold

open Exterior Stability

Statement

Find the minimal differentiability and asymptotic-flatness assumptions under which a Kerr stability theorem can hold.

Mathematical prerequisites

Low-regularity hyperbolic PDE; rough wave gauges; bilinear and null-structure estimates under weak decay; weighted Sobolev spaces.

Why it matters

Current high-regularity proofs are powerful but not obviously close to the true threshold.

Completion criteria

A complete answer must give a stability theorem at explicit regularity N and falloff δ, or produce a sharp obstruction below that threshold.

Implications if solved

Would reveal how robust the Kerr stability mechanism really is.
