Abstract

Lorentzian versions of classical Riemannian volume comparison theorems by Günther, Bishop and Bishop-Gromov, are stated for suitable natural subsets of general semi-Riemannian manifolds. The problem is more subtle in the Bishop-Gromov case, which is extensively discussed. For the general semi-Riemannian case, a local version of the Günther and Bishop theorems is given and applied.
