I demonstrate that the chart based approach to the study of the global structure of Lorentzian manifolds induces a homeomorphism of the manifold into a topological space as an open dense set. The topological boundary of this homeomorphism…

We take a three dimensional Euclidian metric in toroidal coordinates and consider the corresponding Laplace equation. The simplest solution of this equation is taken. Based on this we build a Weyl space-time. This space-time is transformed…

An important, if relatively less well known aspect of the singularity theorems in Lorentzian Geometry is to understand how their conclusions fare upon weakening or suppression of one or more of their hypotheses. Then, theorems with modified…
