As this is given in terms of a set of real-valued functions on the Riemannian factor, one could use a function-space topology, but physical reasons recommend a chronological topology instead. The function-space topology has a simple product structure, while the chronological topology might not. This paper examines when the chronological topology coincides with the function-space topology and when it has a simple product structure. A class of standard static spacetimes is examined, all of which yield a simple product structure for the causal boundary; the conformal class of these spacetimes includes classical spacetimes such as external Schwarzschild or Reissner-Nordstrom.50 pages, AMS-TeX; submitted to Class.
