The geometry of a Randers rotational surface with an arbitrary direction wind

Differential Geometry 2021-02-01 v1

Abstract

In the present paper we study the global behaviour of geodesics on a Randers metric, defined on a topological cylinder, obtained as the solution of the Zermelo's navigation problem. Our wind is not necessarily a Killing field. In special we concentrate our study on the geodesics equation on the base manifold, the conjugate and cut loci.
