Abstract: | We consider the Minkowski space M4 as a local chart of a compact differentiable pseudo-Riemannian manifold M4c, on which the whole conformal group acts continuously. We investigate the conditions under which functions or differential operators on the space M4 can be uniquely continued to the conformal manifold M4c. This is done by using methods well-known in the theory of differentiable manifolds. In particular, we show that the Klein-Gordon operator □+m2 can be uniquely continued to the space M4c and we discuss the conformal invariance of the Klein-Gordon equation on the manifold M4c. |
