Abstract:
The notion of a sub-Lorentzian structure with multidimensional time on Carnot–Carathéodory spaces is introduced. It is proved that classes of graph surfaces are spacelike, and a sub-Lorentzian analogue of the area formula is proved.
Keywords:Carnot–Carathéodory space, polynomial $hc$-differential, intrinsic sub-Lorentzian measure, area formula.
