We prove that for continuous Lorentz-Finsler spaces timelike completeness implies inextendibility. Furthermore, we prove that under suitable locally Lipschitz conditions on the Finsler fundamental function the continuous causal curves that are locally length maximizing (geodesics) have definite causal character, either lightlike almost everywhere or timelike almost everywhere. These results generalize previous theorems by Galloway, Ling and Sbierski, and by Graf and Ling.

Abstract
We prove that for continuous Lorentz-Finsler spaces timelike completeness implies inextendibility. Furthermore, we prove that under suitable locally Lipschitz conditions on the Finsler fundamental function the continuous causal curves that are locally length maximizing (geodesics) have definite causal character, either lightlike almost everywhere or timelike almost everywhere. These results generalize previous theorems by Galloway, Ling and Sbierski, and by Graf and Ling.File in questo prodotto:
