We prove that, in Minkowski space, if a spacelike, $(n-1)$-convex hypersurface $M$ with constant $\sigma_{n-1}$ curvature has bounded principal curvatures, then $M$ is convex. Moreover, if $M$ is not strictly convex, after an…

We introduce the strong $q$-timelike Brunn-Minkowski condition $\mathsf{sTBM}_q(K,N)$ on synthetic Lorentzian spaces, for $0<q<1$. We show that, in the timelike $q$-essentially non-branching setting, the $q$-timelike curvature dimension…
