Hawkings singularity theorem for $C^{1,1}$-metrics


Abstract in English

We provide a detailed proof of Hawkings singularity theorem in the regularity class $C^{1,1}$, i.e., for spacetime metrics possessing locally Lipschitz continuous first derivatives. The proof uses recent results in $C^{1,1}$-causality theory and is based on regularisation techniques adapted to the causal structure.
