摘要
The whole idea of holography as put forward by Gerard 't Hooft assumes that data on a boundary determine physics in the volume. This corresponds to a Dirichlet problem for Euclidean signature, or to a Goursat (characteristic) problem in the Lorentzian setting. Is this last aspect of the problem that is explored here for Ricci flat spaces with vanishing cosmological constant. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
