Dependence of solutions to PDEs on initial and/or boundary data and/or on parameters of PDEs (35B30) Einstein's equations (general structure, canonical formalism, Cauchy problems) (83C05) Kaluza-Klein and other higher-dimensional theories (83E15)

Abstract: In this paper we show the validity, under certain geometric conditions, of Wheeler's thin sandwich conjecture for higher dimensional theories of gravity. We extend the results shown by R. Bartnik and G. Fodor for the 3-dimensional case in two ways. On the one hand, we show that the results obtained by the mentioned authors are valid in arbitrary dimensions, and on the other hand we show that the geometric hypotheses needed for the proofs can always be satisfied, which constitutes in itself a new result for the 3-dimensional case. In this way, we show that on any compact n-dimensional manifold, n greater or equal to 3, there is an open set in the space of all possible initial data where the thin sandwich problem is well-posed.
