Globally hyperbolic spacetimes can be defined without the 'causal' condition
read the original abstract
Reasonable spacetimes are non-compact and of dimension larger than two. We show that these spacetimes are globally hyperbolic if and only if the causal diamonds are compact. That is, there is no need to impose the causality condition, as it can be deduced. We also improve the definition of global hyperbolicity for the non-regular theory (non $C^{1,1}$ metric) and for general cone structures by proving the following convenient characterization for upper semi-continuous cone distributions: causality and the causally convex hull of compact sets is compact. In this case the causality condition cannot be dropped, independently of the spacetime dimension. Similar results are obtained for causal simplicity.

Impossibility of superluminal signalling rules out causal loops in conical spacetimes
In conical spacetimes with d>1, NSS prohibits operationally detectable causal loops across classical, quantum and post-quantum theories, unlike the (1+1) case.
