      The author reconsiders the Hawking-Penrose singularity theorems and the Lorentzian splitting theorem using weaker curvature conditions, namely the Bakry-Emery-Ricci tensor. Contents include: An introduction (which gives an overview of the Bakry-Emery-Ricci tensor); Raychaudhuri equation; Existence of conjugate points; Singularity theorems; Maximum principle; Proof of the splitting theorem; Examples and conclusion; and References (fifteen items).
