Abstract: The Lorentzian length, which is one of the most significant functions in Lorentzian geometry, is a complex-valued function. Its square gives a real-valued non-degenerate quadratic function. In this paper, we define naturally extended mappings of Lorentzian distance-squared functions, wherein each component is a Lorentzian distance-squared function; and classify these mappings completely by the likeness of recognition subspaces.

Review text

For finitely many points \(p_0,\dots ,p_k \in \mathbb{R}^{1,n} (1\leq k)\), the authors define the Lorentzian distance-squared mappings by \[ L_{(p_0,\dots ,p_k)} : \mathbb{R}^{1,n} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{k+1}, L_{(p_0,\dots ,p_k)}(x)=(l_{p_0}^2(x),\dots ,l_{p_k}^2(x)), \] where \(l_{p}^2\) is the standard Lorentzian distance squared-function. The main result of the paper is the classification of these mappings completely by using recognition subspaces (Theorem 1).
