Abstract

All Lorentzian tori with a non-discrete group of isometries are characterized and explicitly obtained. They can lie into three cases: (a) flat, (b) conformally flat but non-flat, and (c) geodesically incomplete. A detailed study of many of their properties (including results on the logical dependence of the three kinds of causal completeness, on geodesic connectedness and on prescribed curvature) is carried out. The incomplete case is specially analyzed, and several known examples and results in the literature are generalized from a unified point of view.
