Abstract:
In this work it is shown that a necessary condition for the completeness of the geodesics of left invariant
pseudo-Riemannian metrics on Lie groups is also sufficient in the case of 3-dimensional unimodular Lie groups, and not sufficient for 3-dimensional non unimodular Lie groups. As a consequence it is possible to identify, amongst the compact locally homogeneous Lorentzian 3-manifolds with non compact (local) isotropy group, those that are geodesically complete.
Keywords:
Lorentzian metrics; complete geodesics; 3-dimensional Lie groups, Euler equation.
