Completeness of Compact Lorentz Manifolds Admitting a Timelike Conformal Killing Vector Field
It is proved that every compact Lorentz manifold admitting a timelike conformai Killing vector field is geodesically complete. So, a recent result by Kamishima in J. Differential Geometry [37 (1993), 569-601] is widely extended. Recently, it has been proved in [2] that a compact Lorentz manifold of constant curvature admitting a timelike Killing vector field is (geodesically) complete. It is na...
متن کاملCompact Lorentz manifolds with local symmetry
We prove a structure theorem for compact aspherical Lorentz manifolds with abundant local symmetry. If M is a compact, aspherical, real-analytic, complete Lorentz manifold such that the isometry group of the universal cover has semisimple identity component, then the local isometry orbits in M are roughly fibers of a fiber bundle. A corollary is that if M has an open, dense, locally homogeneous...
متن کاملPeriodic trajectories on stationary Lorentzian manifolds
In this paper we present an existence and multiplicity result for periodic trajectories on stationary Lorentzian manifolds, possibly with boundary, whose proof is based on a Morse theory approach, see [5]. We recall that a Lorentzian manifold is a smooth connected nite-dimensional manifold M equipped with a (0; 2) tensor eld g such that for any z ∈ M g(z) [·; ·] is a nondegenerate symmetric bil...
متن کاملClosed Timelike Curves in Flat Lorentz Spacetimes
We consider the region of closed timelike curves (CTC’s) in three-dimensional flat Lorentz spacetimes. The interest in this global geometrical feature goes beyond the purely mathematical. Such spacetimes may be considered lower-dimensional toy models of sourceless Einstein gravity or cosmology. In three dimensions all such spacetimes are known: they are quotients of Minkowski space by a suitabl...
متن کاملIsometric actions of Heisenberg groups on compact Lorentz manifolds
We prove results toward classifying compact Lorentz manifolds on which Heisenberg groups act isometrically. We give a general construction, leading to a new example, of codimension-one actions—those for which the dimension of the Heisenberg group is one less than the dimension of the manifold. The main result is a classification of codimension-one actions, under the assumption they are real-ana...
