Abstract:
The aim of this work is to describe the structure of complete Lorentzian foliations (M,F) of codimension two on n-dimensional closed manifolds. It is proved that (M,F) is either Riemannian or has a constant transversal curvature and its structure is described. For such foliations (M,F), the criterion is obtained, reducing the chaos problem in (M,F) to the same problem of the associated action of the group O(1,1) on a 3-dimensional manifold and also to the chaos problem of its global holonomy group, which is a finite-generated discrete subgroup of the isometry group of the plane with the full metric of a constant curvature.
Keywords:
