Abstract
We expound some results about the relationships between the Jacobi operators with respect to null vectors on a Lorentzian -manifold and the Jacobi operators with respect to particular spacelike unit vectors on . We study the number of the eigenvalues of such operators in a -null Osserman Lorentzian -manifold, under suitable assumptions on the dimension of the manifold. Then, we generalize a curvature characterization, previously obtained by the first author for Lorentzian -null Osserman -manifolds with exactly two characteristic vector fields, to the case of those with an arbitrary number of characteristic vector fields.
