Abstract: (WSP)
In this paper, we prove a well-posedness theorem for the massive wave equation (with the mass satisfying the Breitenlohner–Freedman bound) on asymptotically anti-de Sitter spaces. The solution is constructed as a limit of solutions to an initial boundary value problem with boundary at a finite location in spacetime by finally pushing the boundary out to infinity. The solution obtained is unique within the energy class (but non-unique if the decay at infinity is weakened).
