Abstract

In this paper, by studying certain isometries on globally hyperbolic planes, we prove that if pp is a timelike pole on a class A Lorentzian 2-torus, then there exists a closed timelike geodesic passing through pp with any preassigned free homotopy class in the interior of the stable time cone. We also show a non-rigid result when timelike poles appear.
