Abstract

The aim of this work is to explain the status and role of the so-called causal boundary of a spacetime in Mathematical Physics and Differential Geometry. This includes: (a) the consistency of its latest redefinition, (b) its role as an intrinsic conformally invariant boundary in the AdS/CFT correspondence, (c) its relation with the Gromov and Cauchy boundaries for a Riemannian manifold, and (d) its further relation with boundaries in Finsler Geometry.
