In this paper we study the geodesical connectedness of Lorentzian manifolds. We consider a connected manifold M=M 0 \_R, where M 0 is a complete Riemannian manifold endowed with a Lorentzian metric g of splitting type. We prove that, under suitable hypotheses on the coefficients of the metric g, M i

The strong maximum principle is proved to hold for weak (in the sense of support functions) sub-and supersolutions to a class of quasi-linear elliptic equations that includes the mean curvature equation for C 0 -space-like hypersurfaces in a Lorentzian manifold. As one application, a Lorentzian warp
On a large class of Riemannian manifolds with boundary, some dimension-free Harnack inequalities for the Neumann semigroup are proved to be equivalent to the convexity of the boundary and a curvature condition. In particular, for p t (x, y) the Neumann heat kernel w.r.t. a volume type measure ΞΌ and
