Representative-independence conjecture for the causal hypersurface condition
Representative-independence conjecture for the causal hypersurface condition
Let be a generalized space-time with a symmetric representative , and let be a past-compact space-like hypersurface. For sufficiently small , write for the topological closure in the relevant open set of the future emission of with respect to . Representative-independence conjecture. If, for one symmetric representative, satisfies
for sufficiently small , then it satisfies the corresponding condition for every symmetric representative of .
The condition is used to ensure existence of smooth representative-level solutions to the wave equation. The source proposes invariance under changing the symmetric representative but gives no resolution.
