Actions of discrete groups on stationary Lorentz manifolds
Actions of discrete groups on stationary Lorentz manifolds
Abstract We study the geometry of compact Lorentzian manifolds that admit a somewhere timelike Killing vector field, and whose isometry group has infinitely many connected components. Up to a finite cover, such manifolds are products (or amalgamated products) of a flat Lorentzian torus and a compact Riemannian (respectively, lightlike) manifold.
