The Cauchy problem of the Lorentzian Dirac operator with APS boundary conditions

Abstract: We consider the classical Dirac operator on globally hyperbolic manifolds with timelike boundary and show well-posedness of the Cauchy initial-boundary value problem coupled to APS-boundary conditions. This is achieved by deriving suitable energy estimates, which play a fundamental role in establishing uniqueness and existence of weak solutions. Finally, by introducing suitable mollifier operators, we study the differentiability of the solutions. For obtaining smoothness we need additional technical conditions. Show more

“…On the side note we remark that if the boundary is assumed to be time-like instead of being space-like, the Lorentzian Dirac operator behaves very differently, see Drago-Große-Murro for the well-posedness of the corresponding Cauchy problem [26] Finally, as our result assumes compactness of M in spatial directions, one might ask if an index formula could be shown for e.g. perturbations of Minkowski space and other classes of non-compact spacetimes.…”

“…Let us remark that not all physical interesting boundary conditions for Dirac fields enter in this class of boundary condition. Indeed there exists physically interesting non-local boundary conditions, like the so-called APS boundary condition, which guarantees that the Cauchy problem is well-posed [37], but they are not admissible (since any admissible boundary condition is a local condition). For further details on self-adjoint admissible boundary conditions for the Dirac fields we refer to [52, Section 6.1.1] and [53,Remark 3.19].…”
