For a real massless scalar field in general relativity with a negative cosmological constant, we uncover a large class of spherically symmetric initial conditions that are close to AdS, but whose numerical evolution does not result in black hole formation. According to the AdS/CFT dictionary, these bulk solutions are dual to states of a strongly interacting boundary CFT that fail to thermalize at late times. Furthermore, as these states are not stationary, they define dynamical CFT configurations that do not equilibrate. We develop a two-timescale perturbative formalism that captures both direct and inverse cascades of energy and agrees with our fully nonlinear evolutions in the appropriate regime. We also show that this formalism admits a large class of quasi-periodic solutions. Finally, we demonstrate a striking parallel between the dynamics of AdS and the classic Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou problem.

New islands of stability with double-trace deformations
Neumann boundary conditions in anti-de Sitter space admit non-collapsing, multi-mode scalar solutions with arbitrarily small amplitude despite a fully resonant spectrum.

Nonlinear Dynamics near the Threshold of Gravitational Collapse
Perturbation theory around flat space fails before black hole formation once peak luminosity exceeds ~10^-2 L_Planck; near criticality the spectrum flattens to 1/ω, matching the prediction from discrete self-similarity.

Weakly turbulent saturation of the nonlinear scalar ergoregion instability
Time-domain evolutions demonstrate that the nonlinear scalar ergoregion instability saturates via a weakly turbulent direct cascade transferring energy to small scales and populating higher-order azimuthal modes on th...

Extremal Black Hole Weather
Near-extremal Kerr black holes admit an equilibrium spectrum of non-linearly interacting quasinormal modes with amplitudes decaying as 2^{-ell/2} ell^{-7/2}, suggesting an inverse cascade toward large-scale structure.

Quantum estimates for classical polynomial optimization
A quantum-variational matrix method is proposed for bounding homogeneous polynomials, with converging numerical tensor-eigenvalue estimates and a new conjectured inequality for Biasi's resonant Hamiltonians.
