The Dirichlet-to-Neumann Map for Poincaré-Einstein Fillings (2307.08470v1)

Abstract: We study the non-linear Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for the Poincar\'e-Einstein filling problem. For even dimensional manifolds we describe the range of this non-local map in terms of a natural rank two tensor along the boundary determined by the Poincar\'e-Einstein metric. This tensor is proportional to the variation of renormalized volume along a path of Poincar\'e-Einstein metrics. We show that it has an explicit formula and is the unique, natural conformal hypersurface invariant of transverse order equaling the boundary dimension. We also construct such conformally invariant Dirichlet-to-Neumann tensors for Poincar\'e-Einstein fillings for odd dimensional manifolds with conformally flat boundary.
