Lorentzian geometry is an active field of mathematical research with particular relations to relativity theory.
The main purpose of this exposition is to present novel results in a concise overview and to provide a kind of mind map of the research done by the community today. We hope in particular that this little book serves young researchers who are interested in this topic as a valuable source for information on the frontiers of this field. It includes articles and surveys covering a large variety of topics in Lorentzian geometry, amongst which are:
• Submanifolds of particular causal character,
• Killing and conformal vector fields,
• warped products and foliations,
• Einstein equations, energy conditions and black holes,
• techniques from Riemannian geometry,
• algebraic classification of spacetimes.
