    Chronal isomorphisms are bijections between space-times which preserve chronological precedence in both directions. This is a slight generalisation of notions introduced by R. Budic, R. K. Sachs and D. B. Malament. The authors study the preservation of causality conditions under chronal isomorphisms and give a sufficient condition for a chronal isomorphism to be a causal isometry.
