Generic density conjecture for wave fronts on Riemannian manifolds
Generic density conjecture for wave fronts on Riemannian manifolds
Let be a -dimensional Riemannian manifold with or without boundary, where , and let denote the wave front at time from a point . The wave front becomes dense on if it eventually intersects every open metric ball in . Generic wave-front density conjecture. For a generic such manifold, the wave front becomes dense for all points . This is motivated by numerical experiments and the expected growth of the wave front, but the meaning of genericity is only discussed informally and the conjecture remains open.
