Bartnik's Hilbert-manifold conjecture for the constraint map
Bartnik's Hilbert-manifold conjecture for the constraint map
Let be the space of initial data satisfying the prescribed boundary conditions, with the space of metrics and the space of momentum tensors. Let
be the constraint map into a suitable Hilbert space . Bartnik's Hilbert-manifold conjecture. For some choice of , is a smooth map of Hilbert manifolds and
is surjective at every point . Consequently, the level sets of are Hilbert submanifolds of . The conjecture is motivated by Bartnik's phase-space argument; the source states that the required surjectivity is the unresolved step in the presence of a boundary and intends to pursue a proof.
