Global hyperbolicity conjecture for cone structures of positive contactomorphism paths
Global hyperbolicity conjecture for cone structures of positive contactomorphism paths
Let be a smooth manifold, let denote its unit cosphere bundle, and let be a positive path of contactomorphisms of . Let be the cone structure associated with this path on . Global hyperbolicity conjecture. The cone structure is globally hyperbolic. The preceding theorem establishes this when the positive path is strongly convex; the conjecture asks whether global hyperbolicity holds for arbitrary positive paths, despite the potentially nonsmooth and complicated boundary of .
