Global Lorentzian geometry - New York: Marcel Dekkar, Inc. [c996] - 635 p. - Monographs and textbooks in pure and applied mathematics 67 .
Bridging the gap between modern differential geometry and the mathematical physics of general relativity, this text, in its second edition, includes new and expanded material on topics such as the instability of both geodesic completeness and geodesic incompleteness for general space-times, geodesic connectibility, the generic condition, the sectional curvature function in a neighbourhood of degenerate two-plane, and proof of the Lorentzian Splitting Theorem.;Five or more copies may be ordered by college or university stores at a special student price, available on request.--- summary provided by publisher
