In this study, we establish the Gannon-Lee theorem for non-globally hyperbolic Lorentzian metrics of C-1 regularity, the most general regularity class available in the classical singularity theorems. Additionally, we demonstrate that any maximizing causal curve in a C-1 spacetime is a geodesic and thus has C-2 regularity.
We prove a Gannon-Lee theorem for non-globally hyperbolic Lorentzian metrics of regularity C-1, the most general regularity class currently available in the context of the classical singularity theorems. Along the way, we also prove that any maximizing causal curve in a C-1-spacetime is a geodesic and hence of C-2-regularity.
