Geodesic connectedness and conjugate points in GRW space–times
Given two points of a Generalized Robertson-Walker spacetime, the existence, multiplicity and causal character of geodesics connecting them is characterized. Conjugate points of such geodesics are related to conjugate points of geodesics on the fiber, and Morse-type relations are obtained. Applications to bidimensional spacetimes and to GRW spacetimes satisfying the timelike convergence conditi...

متن کاملGeodesic connectedness of multiwarped spacetimes
A new technique for the study of geodesic connectedness in a class of Lorentzian manifolds is introduced. It is based on arguments of Brouwer’s topological degree for the solution of functional equations. It is shown to be very useful for multiwarped spacetimes, which include different types of relativistic spacetimes. Connectedness by causal geodesics is also proved. r 2002 Elsevier Science (U...
متن کاملGeodesic Connectedness of Semi-riemannian Manifolds
The problem of geodesic connectedness in semi-Riemannian manifolds (i.e. the question whether each two points of the manifold can be joined by a geodesic) has been widely studied from very different viewpoints. Our purpose is to review these semi-Riemannian techniques, and possible extensions. In the Riemannian case, it is natural to state this problem on (incomplete) manifolds with (possibly n...
متن کاملGeodesic Completeness of Orthogonally Transitive Cylindrical Spacetimes
In this paper a theorem is derived in order to provide a wide sufficient condition for an orthogonally transitive cylindrical spacetime to be singularity-free. The applicability of the theorem is tested on examples provided by the literature that are known to have regular curvature invariants.
