Alexandrov's Patchwork and the Bonnet Myers theorem for Lorentzian length spaces

We present two results in the study of global timelike curvature bounds within the Lorentzian length space framework. On the one hand, we construct a Lorentzian analogue to Alexandrov’s Patchwork from metric geometry, thus proving that suitably nice Lorentzian length spaces with local upper timelike curvature bound also satisfy a corresponding global upper bound. On the other hand, for spaces with global and negative lower timelike curvature bounds, we provide a Bonnet–Myers style result, constraining their diameter (with respect to the time separation function). 

Joint work with Tobias Beran and Lewis Napper.
