Khavinson–Shapiro Schwarz potential singularity conjecture

Let Γ\Gamma be a nonsingular analytic surface, and consider the Cauchy problem for Laplace's equation on Γ\Gamma with real-entire data. Let uu be its solution, and let ww be the Schwarz potential of Γ\Gamma. Khavinson–Shapiro conjecture. The singularity set of uu is contained in the singularity set of ww. This conjecture asserts that the Schwarz potential controls the analytic continuation of solutions to the corresponding Cauchy problem; the source states it in the context of entire Schwarz potentials, and notes that it is known in the plane but unresolved in higher dimensions.
