The Gauss-Bonnet type theorem for future directed fronts in hyperbolic 3-space and de Sitter 3-space (Q6171994)

The authors give a Gauss-Bonnet-type theorem for future directed fronts in hyperbolic 3-space and de Sitter 3-space. For this purpose the authors relate the light-like geometry to the topology of singular spaces. Note that the authors use throughout the paper the concept of tachions (particles moving faster than light) which is in contradiction with the principles of special relativity.
