โœฆ Synopsis

We continue our study of the space of geodesics of a manifold with linear connection. We obtain sufficient conditions for a product to have a space of geodesics which is a manifold. We investigate the relationship of the space of geodesics of a covering manifold to that of the base space. We obtain sufficient conditions for a space to be geodesically connected in terms of the topology of its space of geodesics.

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

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