Quantum strong cosmic censorship conjecture

Let SS) be a strictly partial Cauchy surface of the (not necessarily globally hyperbolic) spacetime (M,gab)(M,g_{ab}), and let D(S)D(S) be its domain of dependence. Regard (D(S),g^ab)(D(S),\hat g_{ab}) as a globally hyperbolic spacetime, where g^ab=ψ1gab\hat g_{ab}=\psi^{-1*}g_{ab} for an isometric embedding ψ:D(S)ψ(D(S))M\psi:D(S)\to\psi(D(S))\subset M. Let A\mathscr{A} be an FF-local free or perturbatively interacting quantum field theory over (M,gab)(M,g_{ab}), and let B\mathscr{B} be a corresponding theory over (D(S),g^ab)(D(S),\hat g_{ab}) isomorphic to A(M;D(S))\mathscr{A}(M;D(S)). Let ω:BC\omega:\mathscr{B}\to\mathbb{C} be a pure Hadamard state. Quantum strong cosmic censorship conjecture. There exists no extension of ω\omega to a Hadamard state ω:A(M;D(S))C\overline\omega:\mathscr{A}(M;\overline{D(S)})\to\mathbb{C}. The conjecture asserts that pure Hadamard states cannot remain Hadamard when extended across the Cauchy horizon of a strictly partial Cauchy development; its status is open.
