We provide a detailed proof of Hawking's singularity theorem in the regularity class C-1,C-1, i.e., for spacetime metrics possessing locally Lipschitz continuous first derivatives. The proof uses recent results in C-1,C-1-causality theory and is based on regularisation techniques adapted to the causal structure.

Parameter-dependent linear ordinary differential equations and topology of domains

Vyacheslav M. Boyko, Michael Kunzinger, Roman O. Popovych

Summary: The well-known solution theory for linear ordinary differential equations changes significantly when introducing an additional real parameter, with properties like the existence of fundamental sets of solutions or characterizations of such sets being sensitive to the topological properties of the underlying domain. By investigating the topological properties of the domain, a complete characterization of the solvability of parameter-dependent equations and systems can be achieved.

Null Distance and Convergence of Lorentzian Length Spaces

Michael Kunzinger, Roland Steinbauer

Summary: The null distance proposed by Sormani and Vega encodes both the manifold topology and the causality structure of a smooth spacetime. This concept is extended to Lorentzian length spaces, which generalize the Lorentzian causality theory beyond the manifold level. The article also investigates Gromov-Hausdorff convergence based on the null distance in warped product Lorentzian length spaces and provides initial results regarding its compatibility with synthetic curvature bounds.

The Hawking-Penrose Singularity Theorem for C1-Lorentzian Metrics

Michael Kunzinger, Argam Ohanyan, Benedict Schinnerl, Roland Steinbauer

Summary: This study extends the Hawking-Penrose theorem and its generalisation to Lorentzian metrics of regularity C-1. The authors address the issues of distributional Ricci tensor and lost unique solvability of geodesic equation. They develop a theory of tensor distributions of finite order to deal with the first issue and study geodesic branching and causality non-branching for the second issue. The study also provides refinements of comparison techniques used in the proof.
