چکیده
The full causal ladder of spacetimes is constructed, and their updated main properties are developed. Old concepts and alternative definitions of each level of the ladder are revisited, with emphasis in minimum hypotheses. The implications of the recently solved " folk questions on smoothability " , and alternative proposals (as recent isocausality), are also summarized.

The causal boundary construction of Geroch, Kronheimer, and Penrose has some universal properties of importance for general studies of spacetimes, particularly when equipped with a topology derived from the causal structure. Properties of the causal boundary are detailed for spacetimes with spacelike boundaries, for multi-warped spacetimes, for static spacetimes, and for spacetimes with group a...

We present the explicit metric forms for higher dimensional vanishing scalar invariant (V SI) Lorentzian spacetimes. We note that all of the V SI spacetimes belong to the higher dimensional Kundt class. We determine all of the V SI spacetimes which admit a covariantly constant null vector, and we note that in general in higher dimensions these spacetimes are of Ricci type III and Weyl type III....

The tensorial form of the Lax pair equations are given in a compact and geometrically transparent form in the presence of Cartan's torsion ten-sor. Three dimensional spacetimes admitting Lax tensors are analyzed in detail. Solutions to Lax tensor equations include interesting examples as separable coordinates and the Toda lattice.

We give an explicit characterization of all functions on the phase space for the polarized Gowdy 3-torus spacetimes which have weakly vanishing Poisson brackets with the Hamiltonian and momentum constraint functions.
