This brief note wants to bring to attention that the formulation of physically reasonable initial-boundary value problems for wave equations in Lorentzian space-times is not unique, i.e., that there are inequivalent such formulations that lead to a different outcome of the stability discussion of the solutions. For demonstration, the paper uses the case of the wave equation on the right Rindler wedge in 2-dimensional Minkowski space. The used methods can be generalized to wave equations on stationary globally hyperbolic space-times with horizons in higher dimensions, such as Schwarzschild and Kerr space-times.
