On the Isometry Group and the Geometric Structure of Compact Stationary Lorentzian Manifolds

چکیده
We study the geometry of compact Lorentzian manifolds that admit a somewhere timelike Killing vector field, and whose isometry group has infinitely many connected components. Up to a finite cover, such manifolds are products (or amalgamated products) of a flat Lorentzian torus and a compact Riemannian (resp., lightlike) manifold.

Actions of Discrete Groups on Stationary Lorentz Manifolds
We study the geometry of compact Lorentzian manifolds that admit a somewhere timelike Killing vector field, and whose isometry group has infinitely many connected components. Up to a finite cover, such manifolds are products (or amalgamated products) of a flat Lorentzian torus and a compact Riemannian (resp., lightlike) manifold.
متن کاملPeriodic Geodesics and Geometry of Compact Lorentzian Manifolds with a Killing Vector Field
We study the geometry and the periodic geodesics of a compact Lorentzian manifold that has a Killing vector field which is timelike somewhere. Using a compactness argument for subgroups of the isometry group, we prove the existence of one timelike non self-intersecting periodic geodesic. If the Killing vector field is never vanishing, then there are at least two distinct periodic geodesics; as ...
متن کاملPeriodic Geodesics and Geometry of Compact Stationary Lorentzian Manifolds
We prove the existence of at least two timelike non self-intersecting periodic geodesics in compact stationary Lorentzian manifolds and we discuss some properties of the topology of such manifolds. In particular, we show that a compact manifold M admits a stationary Lorentzian metric if and only if M admits a smooth circle action without fixed points.
متن کاملOn $(epsilon)$ - Lorentzian para-Sasakian Manifolds
The object of this paper is to study $(epsilon)$-Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifolds. Some typical identities for the curvature tensor and the Ricci tensor of $(epsilon)$-Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifold are investigated. Further, we study globally $phi$-Ricci symmetric and weakly $phi$-Ricci symmetric $(epsilon)$-Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifolds and obtain interesting results.
