Abstract
We construct growing mode solutions to the uncharged and charged Klein-Gordon equations on the sub-extremal Reissner-Nordström--anti-de-Sitter (AdS) spacetime under reflecting (Dirichlet or Neumann) boundary conditions. Our result applies to a range of Klein-Gordon masses above the so-called Breitenlohner-Freedman bound, notably including the conformal mass case. The mode instability of the Reissner-Nordström--AdS spacetime for some black hole parameters is in sharp contrast to the Schwarzschild-AdS spacetime, where the solution to the Klein-Gordon equation is known to decay in time. Contrary to other mode instability results on the Kerr and Kerr-AdS spacetimes, our growing mode solutions of the uncharged and weakly charged Klein-Gordon equation exist independently of the occurrence or absence of superradiance. We discover a novel mechanism leading to a growing mode solution, namely, a near-extremal instability for the Klein-Gordon equation. Our result seems to be the first rigorous mathematical realization of this instability.
