Existence and uniqueness conjecture for AdS manifolds with prescribed convex boundary metrics
Existence and uniqueness conjecture for AdS manifolds with prescribed convex boundary metrics
Let be the surface in question, and let and be smooth metrics on whose curvature is . A globally hyperbolic manifold is a spacetime homeomorphic to ; its boundary is smooth, space-like and strictly convex when it has these properties, and the induced metrics on the two boundary components are prescribed by and .
AdS convex-boundary conjecture. There exists a unique globally hyperbolic manifold homeomorphic to , with smooth, space-like and strictly convex boundary, such that the induced metric on is and the induced metric on is .
The constant-curvature case supplies the existence part by the theorem stated immediately before the conjecture. The analogous assertion for quasifuchsian, and more generally convex co-compact, hyperbolic manifolds is known; the general AdS statement remains open.
