A weaker geodesic completeness and Clifton-Pohl torus

Mathematical Physics 2007-05-23 v1 math.MP

Abstract

We propose a new definition of geodesic completeness, based on analytical continuation in the complex domain: we apply this idea to Clifton-Pohl torus, relating, for each geodesic, completeness to the value of a function of initial conditions, called 'impulse'.
