Abstract: | The abstract boundary has, in recent years, proved a general and flexible way to define the singularities of space-time. In this approach an essential singularity is a non-regular boundary point of an embedding which is accessible by a chosen family of curves within finite parameter distance. Ashley and Scott proved the first theorem relating essential singularities in strongly causal space-times to causal geodesic incompleteness. Linking this with the work of Beem on the C
r
-stability of geodesic incompleteness allows proof of the stability of these singularities. Here I present this result stating the conditions under which essential singularities are C
1-stable against perturbations of the metric. |
