A note on the Gannon–Lee theorem

We prove a Gannon–Lee theorem for non-globally hyperbolic Lorentzian metrics of regularity [Formula: see text] , the most general regularity class currently available in the context of the classical singularity theorems. Along the way, we also prove that any maximizing causal curve in a [Formula: se...

Sumario:We prove a Gannon–Lee theorem for non-globally hyperbolic Lorentzian metrics of regularity [Formula: see text] , the most general regularity class currently available in the context of the classical singularity theorems. Along the way, we also prove that any maximizing causal curve in a [Formula: see text] -spacetime is a geodesic and hence of [Formula: see text] -regularity.
