On the differentiability of space-time

Chris J. Clarke

Open publisher page 7 citations

Abstract

Abstract It is shown that the differentiability of a space-time is implied by that of its Riemann tensor, assuming a priori only boundedness of the first derivations of the metric. Consequently all the results on space-time singularities proved in earlier papers by the author hold true in C2− space-times.
