We develop area and volume comparison theorems for the evolution of spacelike, acausal, causally complete hypersurfaces in Lorentzian manifolds, where one has a lower bound on the Ricci tensor along timelike curves, and an upper bound on…

We introduce a method of solving inverse boundary value problems for wave equations on Lorentzian manifolds, and show that zeroth order coefficients can be recovered under certain curvature bounds. The set of Lorentzian metrics satisfying…

Through making use of a Borel measure and a piecewise-Riemannian inner scalar product, it is shown that over a Lorentzian manifold every three diffeomorphisms generate a conformal space, whose elements are smooth vector-valued functions…

In this note we show that the support of a locally $k$-uniform measure in $\mathbb R^{n+1}$ satisfies a kind of unique continuation property. As a consequence, we show that locally uniformly distributed measures satisfy a weaker unique…

We demonstrate the breakdown of several fundamentals of Lorentzian causality theory in low regularity. Most notably, chronological futures (defined naturally using locally Lipschitz curves) may be non-open, and may differ from the…

We obtain improved local well-posedness results for the Lorentzian timelike minimal surface equation. In dimension $d=3$, for a surface of arbitrary co-dimension, we show a gain of $1/3$ derivative regularity compared to a generic equation…

In this note, the idea of finite dimensional $L^p$ spaces is transferred to Lorentzian length spaces to provide an example that is locally nowhere Minkowskian. Looking at the sectional curvature bounds of this example leads to the more…

We study the problem of extending an order-preserving real-valued Lipschitz map defined on a subset of a partially ordered metric space without increasing its Lipschitz constant and preserving its monotonicity. We show that a certain type…

We prove the existence of minimizers of causal variational principles on second countable, locally compact Hausdorff spaces. Moreover, the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations are derived. The method is to first prove the existence of…

In this note we revisit the notion of conformal barycenter of a measure on $\SS^n$ as defined by Douady and Earle in Acta Math. Vol 157, 1986. The aim is to extend rational maps from the Riemann sphere $\Cbar\isom\SS^2$ to the (hyperbolic)…

This note provides a correct proof of the result claimed by the second author that locally compact normal spaces are collectionwise Hausdorff in certain models obtained by forcing with a coherent Souslin tree. A novel feature of the proof…

We present some extensions of Bernstein's concentration inequality for random matrices. This inequality has become a useful and powerful tool for many problems in statistics, signal processing and theoretical computer science. The main…

We develop relativistic causality theory in the setting of point-free topology by introducing a notion of causal coverage in ordered locales, generalising their canonical coverage relation to incorporate causal structure. This improves…

Motivated by (perturbative) quantum observables in Lorentzian signature we define a new operad: the operad of causally disjoint disks. In order to describe this operad we use the orthogonal categories of Benini, Schenkel, and Woike and the…

Connes' functional formula of the Riemannian distance is generalized to the Lorentzian case using the so-called Lorentzian distance, the d'Alembert operator and the causal functions of a globally hyperbolic spacetime. As a step of the…

A set of chords of a circle of given radius is represented as a metric space w.r.t. a metric introduced by Hausdorf. The form of open and closed balls with respect to this metric is established. We consider a family of Hausdorff outer…

Categories of locally ordered spaces are especially well-adapted to the realization of most precubical sets, though their colimits are not so easy to determine (in comparison with colimits in the category of d-spaces for example). We use…
