Overview

Here is a systematic approach to such fundamental questions as: What mathematical structures does Einstein-Weyl causality impose on a point-set that has no other previous structure defined on it? The author proposes an axiomatization of the physics inspired notion of Einstein-Weyl causality and investigating the consequences in terms of possible topological spaces. One significant result is that the notion of causality can effectively be extended to discontinuum.

From the reviews: <p> The casual structure of space-times can be described by means of two notions of precedence, namely chronological and casual precedence; one can then abstract these two notions, and the relationship between them, and consider casual spaces in general. a ] This volume will be of interest in particular to workers in casual analysis, and more generally to those with an interest in the fundamental structure of space-time.
