Classical Klein-Gordon solutions, symplectic structures and isometry
actions on AdS spacetimes    [PDF]

We study classical, real Klein-Gordon theory on Lorentzian Anti de Sitter ($\AdS d$) spacetimes with spatial dimension $d$. We give a complete list of well defined and bounded Klein-Gordon solutions for three types of regions on AdS: slice (time interval times all of space), rod hypercylinder (all of time times solid ball in space), and tube hypercylinder (all of time times solid shell in space). Hypercylinder regions are of natural interest for AdS since the neighborhood of the AdS-boundary is a tube. For the solution spaces of our regions we find the actions induced by the AdS isometry group $\SOgroup{2,d}$. For all three regions we find one-to-one correspondences between initial data and solutions on the regions. For rod and tube regions this initial data can also be given on the AdS boundary. We calculate symplectic structures associated to the solution spaces, and show their invariance under the isometry actions. We compare our results to the corresponding expressions for $(3\pn1)$-dimensional Minkowski spacetime, arising from AdS$_{1,3}$ in the limit of large curvature radius.
