Strong cosmic censorship near Kerr in Christodoulou's square-integrable-connection formulation
For each fixed M>0, 0<∣a∣<M there is ε>0 such that, among smooth complete two-ended vacuum data d with tenth weighted seminorm p10(d−d∗)<ε from the Kerr bridge data, those whose full maximal globally hyperbolic development has a future extension with continuous nondegenerate metric in Wloc1,2 form a meagre set in the weighted smooth topology. No symmetry is imposed and extensions need not be vacuum. Companions prove the weaker C2 and C1 versions. This is strong cosmic censorship in Christodoulou's formulation near Kerr only; it is not the global conjecture, and it does not treat one-ended or nonrotating data.
