From the reviews:
„The casual structure of space-times can be described by means of two notions of precedence, namely chronological and casual precedence; one can then abstract these two notions, and the relationship between them, and consider casual spaces in general. … This volume will be of interest in particular to workers in casual analysis, and more generally to those with an interest in the fundamental structure of space-time.“ (Robert J. Low, Mathematical Reviews, 2007 k)
Klappentext
The present work is the first systematic attempt at answering the following fundamental question: what mathematical structures does Einstein-Weyl causality impose on a point-set that has no other previous structure defined on it? The authors propose an axiomatization of Einstein-Weyl causality (inspired by physics), and investigate the topological and uniform structures that it implies. Their final result is that a causal space is densely embedded in one that is locally a differentiable manifold. The mathematical level required of the reader is that of the graduate student in mathematical physics.
