The Legendrian Low conjecture for causally simple spacetimes

Let (Xm+1,g)(X^{m+1},g), m>1m>1, be a causally simple spacetime that does not admit a metric gg' such that (X,g)(X,g') is refocussing and causally simple. A Legendrian link is a link formed by a pair of skies in the space of light rays of (X,g)(X,g). The Legendrian Low conjecture. The Legendrian links formed by a pair of skies of two causally unrelated events in (X,g)(X,g) and by a pair of skies of two causally related events in (X,g)(X,g) that do not belong to the same null geodesic are never Legendrian isotopic. This conjecture extends the relation between causality and Legendrian linking beyond the globally hyperbolic setting; the preceding corollary establishes a restricted version, but the full assertion remains open.
