Conjecture on smooth parametrization by initial, boundary, and corner data
Conjecture on smooth parametrization by initial, boundary, and corner data
Let be the space of solutions modulo the relevant gauge equivalence, let denote the conformal-mean curvature boundary data space, let denote the initial data space, and let be the space of smooth functions on the corner . For a solution , write for its initial data, for the conformal class of the induced boundary metric, for the boundary mean curvature, and for its corner data. Conjecture on smooth parametrization by initial, boundary, and corner data. The space is a smooth (Fréchet) manifold, and the smooth map
is a diffeomorphism. Thus, after adding corner data, the initial-boundary value constraint problem is locally-in-time well-posed. The conjecture is motivated by non-isometric families with identical initial and conformal-mean curvature boundary data but varying corner angle; its resolution would provide an effective local parametrization of solutions by the augmented data.
