Global differential geometry of Lorentz manifolds, manifolds with indefinite metrics (53C50) Research exposition (monographs, survey articles) pertaining to relativity and gravitational theory (83-02) Einstein's equations (general structure, canonical formalism, Cauchy problems) (83C05) Space-time singularities, cosmic censorship, etc. (83C75)

Abstract: We give an up-to-date perspective with a general overview of the theory of causal properties, the derived causal structures, their classification and applications, and the definition and construction of causal boundaries and of causal symmetries, mostly for Lorentzian manifolds but also in more abstract settings.
