✦ Synopsis

In this paper we use a variational approach in order to prove the geodesic connectedness of some Gödel type space-times; moreover direct methods allow to prove the geodesic connectedness of the Gödel Universe. At last a result of geodesic completeness is given.

Given two points of a generalized Robertson-Walker space-time, 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. Applicat
