Abstract

The superradiant instability of rotating black holes with negative cosmological constant is studied by numerically solving the full ( $3 + 1$ )-dimensional Einstein equations. We find evidence for an epoch dominated by a solution with a single helical Killing vector and a multistage process with distinct superradiant instabilities.
