Large-scale geometric reconstruction conjecture for stably causal Lorentzian manifolds
Large-scale geometric reconstruction conjecture for stably causal Lorentzian manifolds
Let be a stably causal Lorentzian manifold whose sectional curvatures are much less than , and let be a timelike curve from to in whose radius of curvature and length are large. In the causal site of Example~, consider the causal paths such that each region intersects . Large-scale geometric reconstruction conjecture. The proper length of is well approximated by the least upper bound of the lengths of these causal paths, with an error which is small compared to the length of . This conjecture asserts that causal sites retain large-scale geometric information about curved spacetimes: when curvature and the curve's radius of curvature are small relative to the Planck scale, causal-path lengths recover the curve's proper length up to a comparatively small error. The source provides no resolution of the conjecture.
