Lorentzian geometry in the large

John Beem (1997)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Lorentzian geometry in the large has certain similarities and certain fundamental differences from Riemannian geometry in the large. The Morse index theory for timelike geodesics is quite similar to the corresponding theory for Riemannian manifolds. However, results on completeness for Lorentzian manifolds are quite different from the corresponding results for positive definite manifolds. A generalization of global hyperbolicity known as pseudoconvexity is described. It has important...

Homogeneous geodesics in a three-dimensional Lie group

Similarity:

O. Kowalski and J. Szenthe [KS] proved that every homogeneous Riemannian manifold admits at least one homogeneous geodesic, i.eȯne geodesic which is an orbit of a one-parameter group of isometries. In [KNV] the related two problems were studied and a negative answer was given to both ones: (1) Let M = K / H be a homogeneous Riemannian manifold where K is the largest connected group of isometries and dim M 3 . Does M always admit more than one homogeneous geodesic? (2) Suppose that M = K / H admits m = dim M linearly...
