Review text

These 36 pages present a readable introduction to the singularity theorems within cosmology. Both the differential geometric background as well as the physical assumptions about the matter are clearly presented. Differently to other papers on this topic, the role of conformal transformations is explicitly shown. The part about causal geometry is also sufficiently explicit. However, what the author calls a proof of the singularity theorem (Theorem 12), should better be called a sketch for a proof. At the end, applications for cosmology are presented. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1030.00050].
