Role of Topologies in the Study of Dynamical Aspects of Stable and Generic Properties of Space-times in General Relativity

In [1], the authors have studied stability of certain causal properties of space-times in general relativity. As a continuation of this work, in the present paper, we review and discuss, some more aspects of stability which occur in various situations in the dynamics of general relativity. We argue that not only choice of appropriate topology, but also the nature of perturbation, like metric, matter or initial data, are key factors in deciding whether a property is stable or not. We also study certain properties of space-times which are generic in an appropriate mathematical sense. In particular we argue that Linearization stability of a space-time is a generic property.

Causal and Topological Aspects in Special and General Theory of Relativity

In this article we present a review of a geometric and algebraic approach to causal cones and describe cone preserving transformations and their relationship with the causal structure related to special and general relativity. We describe Lie groups, especially matrix Lie groups, homogeneous and symmetric spaces and causal cones and certain implications of these concepts in special and general relativity, related to causal structure and topology of space-time. We compare and contrast the results on causal relations with those in the literature for general space-times and compare these relations with K-causal maps. We also describe causal orientations and their implications for space-time topology and discuss some more topologies on space-time which arise as an application of domain theory. For the sake of completeness, we reproduce proofs of certain theorems which we proved in our earlier work.
