Let (M, โข , โข L ) be a non-compact Lorentzian manifold. If the metric โข , โข L is stationary and M has a strictly space-convex boundary, then variational tools allow to prove the existence of at least one closed spacelike geodesic in it.
Let M be a stationary manifold equipped with a Lorentz metric whose coefficients are unbounded. By using variational methods and topological tools, some existence and multiplicity results of normal geodesics joining two fixed submanifolds can be proved.
In this paper we study the geodesical connectedness of Lorentzian manifolds. We consider a connected manifold M=M 0 \_R, where M 0 is a complete Riemannian manifold endowed with a Lorentzian metric g of splitting type. We prove that, under suitable hypotheses on the coefficients of the metric g, M i
