Jul 15, 2020 at 10:27 comment added Martin Hairer @fsp-b Not completely: it shows that it is true for positive solutions, but since the equation has compactly supported solutions, you can combine them to form solutions that aren't (globally) separable.

Jul 15, 2020 at 9:57 comment added Igor Khavkine This equation is equivalent to $\partial_x \partial_y \log(\varphi) = 0$. This is the 2-dimensional wave equation for $\log(\varphi)$ in "null" coordinates.
