Abstract
The orientability properties of space-times are analysed in detail using elementary algebraic methods. Time, space and charge orientability are discussed and various possible generalisations of charge orientability suggested. There is also a bundle-theoretic analysis of the first two topological properties together with a discussion of spinor-structures from the point of view of the Lorentz bundle of bases over a space-time. A section is devoted to some comments on the topologisation of certain space-times with topologies derived from their causal relations.
