Abstract: We review geometrical properties of a static spacetime $(M,g)$, including geodesic completeness, causality, standard splittings, compact $M$, closed geodesics and geodesic connectedness. We pay special attention to the critical quadratic behavior at infinity of the coefficients $$, $$ ($$, being $K$ a timelike irrotational Killing vector field), which essentially control completeness, causality and geodesic connectedness. Recent references are specially discussed.
