Causal structures and causal boundaries
- 1. Departamento de Fisica Teorica, Universidad del PaIs Vasco, Apartado 644, 48080 Bilbao (Spain)
Description
We give an up-to-date perspective with a general overview of the theory of causal properties, the derived causal structures, their classification and applications and the definition and construction of causal boundaries and of causal symmetries, mostly for Lorentzian manifolds but also in more abstract settings. (topical review)
