The open contact submanifold conjecture for spaces of light rays
The open contact submanifold conjecture for spaces of light rays
Let be a causally simple spacetime that can be conformally embedded as an open subset into some globally hyperbolic spacetime . Let the space of light rays mean the space of future-directed, unparameterized light rays. The open contact submanifold conjecture. The space of light rays in is an open contact submanifold of the space of light rays in . This conjecture concerns the compatibility of the contact geometry of light-ray spaces under conformal embeddings and is proposed as an ingredient toward the causally simple Legendrian Low conjecture; it remains open.
