The authors' main claim In this work we show that the above assertion is a consequence of a standard stability analysis of the Einstein \eqs and need not be assumed.
The compiled record
The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

The abstract, sentence by sentence
It is stated in many text books that the any metric appearing in general relativity should be locally Lorentzian i.e. of the type $\eta_\mn = {\rm diag} (1,-1,-1,-1)$ this is usually presented as an independent axiom of the theory, which can not be deduced from other assumptions. In this work we show that the above assertion is a consequence of a standard stability analysis of the Einstein \eqs and need not be assumed.
