Conformal strip of two-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime

ID: conformal-strip-of-two-dimensional-anti-de-sitter-spacetime

On the universal cover, and . The two conformal boundaries are timelike. Null geodesics are and can travel from either boundary to the center in finite coordinate time, despite taking infinite physical affine parameter to reach the boundary. There is no event horizon for the complete central static observer. The spacetime is not globally hyperbolic, unlike the global conformal cylinder of two-dimensional de Sitter spacetime; well-posed field evolution requires boundary conditions as well as initial data.
