Abstract: | Let (M, g) be a causal spacetime. ConditionN will be satisfied if for each compact subsetK ofM there is no future inextendible nonspacelike curve which is totally future imprisoned inK. IfM satisfies conditionN, then wheneverE is an open and relatively compact subset ofM the spacetimeE with the metricg restricted toE is stably causal. Furthermore, there is a conformal factor such that (M, 2g) is both null and timelike geodesically complete. IfM is an open subset of two dimensional Minkowskian space, thenM is conformal to a geodesically complete spacetime. |
