Abstract

In this work we provide the full description of the upper levels of the classical causal ladder for spacetimes in the context of Lorenztian length spaces, thus establishing the hierarchy between them. We also show that global hyperbolicity, causal simplicity, causal continuity, stable causality and strong causality are preserved under distance homothetic maps.

Comments

The notion of weakly locally causally closed sets has been introduced. Other details brought to our attention by the referees have been addressed. See the accepted version by Classical and Quantum Gravity for the latest changes (https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6382/abb25f)
