In this paper we consider the problem of the existence and multiplicity for geodesics not touching the boundary of a stationary Lorentz manifold having convex boundary. A physical example of a stationary (and nonstatic) Lorentz manifold having convex boundary is the stationary, axisymmetric, asymptotically flat, gravitational field outside a rotating massive object, whenever its angular speed is small and its mean radius is close to the Schwarzschild radius.

Abstract
In this paper we consider the problem of the existence and multiplicity for geodesics not touching the boundary of a stationary Lorentz manifold having convex boundary. A physical example of a stationary (and nonstatic) Lorentz manifold having convex boundary is the stationary, axisymmetric, asymptotically flat, gravitational field outside a rotating massive object, whenever its angular speed is small and its mean radius is close to the Schwarzschild radius.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
