Abstract
In this paper we are going to define strong T- causality for n ∈ N. These are levels in the causal ladder of spacetime between stable causality and strong causality. A characterization of them is presented. The newly proposed levels are compared with Carter’s levels of causal virtuosity. It is also proved that strong T1- causality implies compact stable causality.
