Abstract

We show that if (T2,g)(\mathbb{T}^{2},g) is a class A Lorentzian 2-torus with timelike poles, then there exists a Lipschitz foliation by complete future-directed timelike geodesics with any pre-assigned asymptotic direction in the interior of the stable time cone. This is done by constructing certain C1,1C^{1,1} solutions to the equation g(u,u)=1g(\nabla u,\nabla u)=-1 on the Abelian cover (R2,g)(\mathbb{R}^{2},g).
