When studying the motion of particles in space, what are the mathematical considerations that have to made of spacetime? Could I say there exists a bijection between spacetime and ##\mathbb{R}^4##? Is the topology under consideration the usual product topology of ##\mathbb{R}^4##? Are there any other consideration if all I am concerned with is the kinematics of particles in space?
Also, what differs between the mathematical considerations of spacetime for non-relativistic classical mechanics and relativistic mechanics? Is the set not bijective to ##\mathbb{R}^4## anymore? Or is it only the topology defined on ##\mathbb{R}^4## that is different?
