Consider a globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifold $(M,g)$. Then, a well-known result of Bernal-Sánchez (see Theorem 1.1 in arXiv:gr-qc/0401112) states that it can globally be written as $$M=\mathbb{R}...

Let $(\mathcal{M},g)$ be a Lorentzian manifold, which is globally of the form $\mathcal{M}\cong I\times\Sigma$, where $I\subset\mathbb{R}$ ("time") and $\Sigma$ ("space") is some $...

Suppose that $(M,g)$ is a smooth Lorentzian manifold, that $I\subset \mathbb R$ is a closed finite interval and that $\gamma: I \to M$ is a smooth null geodesic on $M$, that is to say, it satisfies $$ ...

Let $(M,g)$ be a Lorentzian manifold and let $R$ be the curvature tensor. We say $R\leq 0$ if $$ g(R(X,Y)Y,X) \leq 0\quad \forall \, X,Y \in TM.$$ My question is whether given a Lorentzian manifold $...
