Comment on "AdS nonlinear instability: moving beyond spherical symmetry" [Class. Quantum Grav. 33 23LT01 (2016)]

We argue that if the degeneracy of the spectrum of linear perturbations of AdS is properly taken into account, there are globally regular, time-periodic, asymptotically AdS solutions (geons) bifurcating from each linear eigenfrequency of AdS.
