Generic metrics satisfy the generic condition

Differential Geometry 2017-01-26 v1 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We prove that the "generic condition" used in singularity theorems of general relativity is generic in the space of Lorentzian metrics on a given manifold, in the sense that it is satisfied for all metrics in a residual set in the Whitney CkC^k-topology, for kk depending on the dimension of the manifold.
