We introduce a notion of Lorentzian metric space which drops the boundedness condition from our previous work and argue that the properties defining our spaces are minimal. In fact, they are defined by three conditions given by (a) the…

We establish an optimal gluing construction for general relativistic initial data sets. The construction is optimal in two distinct ways. First, it applies to generic initial data sets and the required (generically satisfied) hypotheses are…

We study the low-regularity (in-)extendibility of spacetimes within the synthetic-geometric framework of Lorentzian length spaces developed in [KS:17]. To this end, we introduce appropriate notions of geodesics and timelike geodesic…

In this paper we develop the theory of Artin-Wraith glueings for topological spaces. As an application, we show that some categories of compactifications of coarse spaces that agree with the coarse structures are invariant under coarse…

This paper is devoted to prove that if an Alexandrov space of curvature not less than $\kappa$ with a codimension one extremal subset which admits an isometric involution with respect to the induced length metric, then the metric space…

For a complete discrete valuation field $K$, we show that one may always glue a separated formal algebraic space $\mathfrak{X}$ over $\mathcal{O}_K$ to a separated algebraic space $U$ over $K$ along an open immersion of rigid spaces…

In this paper we discuss the sufficient and necessary conditions for multiple Alexandrov spaces being glued to an Alexandrov space. We propose a Gluing Conjecture, which says that the finite gluing of Alexandrov spaces is an Alexandrov…

This thesis is developed in the context of the spin-foam approach to quantum gravity; all results are concerned with the Lorentzian theory and with semiclassical methods. A correspondence is given between Majorana 2-spinors and time-like…

We present an abstract approach to Lorentzian Gromov-Hausdorff distance and convergence, and an alternative approach to Lorentzian length spaces that does not use auxiliary ``positive signature'' metrics or other unobserved fields. We begin…

We extend a positive Ricci curvature gluing theorem of Perelman to a range of positive intermediate curvature conditions, ranging from positive scalar curvature up to (and including) positive sectional curvature. As an application of this,…

We employ the techniques introduced in the companion papers to derive a connection formulation of Lorentzian General Relativity coupled to Dirac fermions in dimensions D+1 > 2 with compact gauge group. The technique that accomplishes that…

Inspired by some Lorentzian versions of the notion of metric and length space introduced by Kunzinger and S\"amman, and more recently, by M\"uller, and Minguzzi and S\"uhr, we revisit the notion of Lorentzian metric space in order to later…

The goal of the paper is to introduce a convergence \`a la Gromov-Hausdorff for Lorentzian spaces, building on $\epsilon$-nets consisting of causal diamonds and relying only on the time separation function. This yields a geometric notion of…

In the setting of CAT(k) spaces, common fixed point iterations built from prox mappings (e.g. prox-prox, Krasnoselsky-Mann relaxations, nonlinear projected-gradients) converge locally linearly under the assumption of linear metric…

The goal of this article is twofold. We introduce a notion of convergence for Lorentzian pre-length spaces, $\ell$-convergence, that extends previous convergence notions in this context. We show that timelike curvature and timelike…
