Maximal extensions and classification of Lorentzian tori with a Killing field (Q2184850)

Lorentzian model surfaces of constant curvature have big isometry group, but they do not have many quotients. In the present work, the more general Lorentzian surfaces admitting a Killing vector field, are studied. A family of simply connected and inextendable model spaces are constructed. Beside the isometry flow given by the Killing vector field they admit various discret isometry subgroups. These model spaces admit many quotient spaces with various geometry and topology. The uniformisation result is proved for the compact case and for the analytic case. It leads in particular to the classification of Lorentzian tori and Klein bottles admitting a Killing vector field.
