Recent work in Euclidean quantum gravity has studied boundary conditions which are completely invariant under infinitesimal diffeomorphisms on metric perturbations. On using the de Donder gauge-averaging functional, this scheme leads to both normal and tangential derivatives in the boundary conditions. In the present paper, it is proved that the corresponding boundary value problem fails to be strongly elliptic. The result raises deep interpretative issues for Euclidean quantum gravity on manifolds with boundary.

  1. Ill-posedness of the Cauchy problem for linearized gravity in a cavity with conformal boundary conditions

    gr-qc 2025-05 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Linearized gravity in a cavity with conformal boundary conditions is ill-posed: a sequence of smooth perturbations with vanishing initial data grows without bound at every positive time.

  2. GR from RG, $2d$ Example: JT-Gravity Induced from Renormalization Group Flow

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Holographic RG flow on a 2D CFT induces JT gravity with bulk lapse as dilaton and recovers TTbar deformation in the Fefferman-Graham limit.
