Singularity theorems and the Lorentzian splitting theorem for the Bakry-Emery-Ricci tensor

Differential Geometry 2010-12-15 v2

Abstract

We consider the Hawking-Penrose singularity theorems and the Lorentzian splitting theorem under the weaker curvature condition of nonnegative Bakry-Emery-Ricci curvature RicfmRic_f^m in timelike directions. We prove that they still hold when mm is finite, and when mm is infinite, they hold under the additional assumption that ff is bounded from above.
