Abstract

Trajectories for relativistic particles were studied under the effect of an electromagnetic field in a stationary space-time. Particle was described by a smooth timelike curve 'wordline' in a space-time. A suitable class of curves on a Lorentzian manifold was given by a smooth curve, geodesic. Geodesics satisfy a variational principle. The number of nontrivial timelike periodic trajectories were found to be large for the assumption that the number of points in which the vector field vanishes was finite
