GENERAL RELATIVITY AND GRAVITATION, cilt.35, sa.9, ss.1597-1615, 2003 (SCI-Expanded)
Level sets of Lorentzian distance functions with respect to a point and with respect to an achronal spacelike hypersurface, are analyzed. Some bounds for the Laplacian of such Lorentzian distance functions are obtained and, in relation to them, some spacetime singularity theorems are given.
