Exponential analyticity-shrinkage conjecture for small perturbations of AdS3

About 13 years old · traced to

Let AdS⁡3\operatorname{AdS}_3 denote three-dimensional Anti-de Sitter space, and consider small smooth perturbations whose spatial dependence admits a radius of analyticity ρ(t)\rho(t), defined as the distance from the real spatial axis to the nearest complex singularity of the analytically continued solution. Exponential analyticity-shrinkage conjecture. Small smooth perturbations of AdS⁡3\operatorname{AdS}_3 remain smooth for all times, but their radius of analyticity shrinks to zero exponentially fast. This conclusion is based on numerical analyticity-strip analysis: the perturbations are observed to remain smooth while increasingly fine spatial scales develop. A rigorous proof of global smoothness and exponential decay of the analyticity radius remains open.
