abstract
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. non-trivial stationary solutions) for suitably chosen Robin boundary conditions.

Holographic Time Crystals vs Penrose
In spherically symmetric Einstein-scalar gravity with conformally invariant boundary conditions, the AdS Penrose inequality holds exactly when a positive mass theorem holds, ruling out neutral, non-rotating holographic time crystals.
