On totally geodesic foliations perpendicular to Killing fields (Q815969)

The aim of this paper is to study the totally geodesic foliations perpendicular to Killing fields. Let \((M,g)\) be a Lorentzian manifold and \(X\) a nonsingular Killing field. Then the flow generated by \(X\) preserves \(E\). The authors considers the totally geodesic foliations perpendicular to nonsingular Killing fields of Lorentzian 2-tori \((T^2,g)\). He proves the following Theorem: Let \((T^2,g)\) be a Lorentzian 2-torus, \(X\) a nonsingular Killing field, and \(F\) the foliation defined by \(\text{Ker}\,g(X,\cdot)\). Let \(F^\perp\) denote the foliation perpendicular to \(F\) with respet to \(g\). Assume that \(F^\perp\) has a compact leaf. Then all the leaves of \(F^\perp\) are compact. One corollary of this result gives the structure of the totally geodesic foliation perpendicular to \(X\) of \((T^2,g)\) containing at least two kinds of leaves.
