The surface-Hadamard well-posedness conjecture for semiclassical gravity

About 4 years old · traced to

Let C\mathcal C be a 3-manifold with classical initial data (gijin,g˙ijin,gij(2) in,gij(3) in)(g^{\rm in}_{ij},\dot g^{\rm in}_{ij},g^{(2)\,\rm in}_{ij},g^{(3)\,\rm in}_{ij}), or (gijin,g˙ijin)(g^{\rm in}_{ij},\dot g^{\rm in}_{ij}) for physical solutions, and let ωC\omega_{\mathcal C} be a state on its CCR algebra satisfying the appropriate surface Hadamard condition. Semiclassical-gravity well-posedness conjecture. If the initial data and ωC\omega_{\mathcal C} satisfy the gravitational constraint equations, there exists a unique solution ((M,gab),ω)((\mathcal M,g_{ab}),\omega) of the semiclassical Einstein and Klein–Gordon equations such that C\mathcal C is a Cauchy surface, the prescribed classical data are the restrictions of gabg_{ab} and its first three time derivatives (or first time derivative for physical solutions), and ωC=ω∘iso⁡C\omega_{\mathcal C}=\omega\circ\operatorname{iso}_{\mathcal C}. This is the proposed full initial-value formulation; its existence and uniqueness remain open.
