Abstract: We analyze Lorentzian spacetimes subject to curvature-dimension bounds using the Bakry-'Emery-Ricci tensor. We extend the Hawking-Penrose type singularity theorem and the Lorentzian timelike splitting theorem to synthetic dimensions $Nle1$, including all negative synthetic dimensions. The rigidity of the timelike splitting reduces to a warped product splitting when $N=1$. We also extend the null splitting theorem of Lorentzian geometry, showing that it holds under a null curvature-dimension bound on the Bakry-'Emery-Ricci tensor for all $Nin(-infty,2]cup(n,infty)$ and for the $N=infty$ case as well, with reduced rigidity if $N=2$. In consequence, the basic singularity and splitting theorems of Lorentzian Bakry-'Emery theory now cover all synthetic dimensions for which such theorems are possible. The splitting theorems are found always to exhibit reduced rigidity at the critical synthetic dimension.
