β¦ Synopsis
Employing techniques recently developed by D. Kaiish for Riemannian manifolds, we obtaina focal Morseindex theorem bra null geodesic segmentinitially and terminallyperpendicular to space/ike submanifolds ofarbitrary codimension in a general space-time.
SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
Let $ : [0, 1] -~(M, g) be a null geodesic segment in an arbitrary space-time of dimension n ~3 and let K 1, K2 be spacelike submanifolds perpendicular to /3 at f3( 0) and ~3(1), respectively. The purpose of this paper is to extend the conjugate
