Self-adjoint extensions and Signature Change

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

We study the selfadjoint extensions of the spatial part of the D'Alembert operator in a spacetime with two changes of signature. We identify a set of boundary conditions, parametrised by U(2) matrices, which correspond to Dirichlet boundary conditions for the fields, and from which we argue against the suggestion that regions of signature change can isolate singularities.
