Abstract

The Misner space is a simplified 22-dimensional model of the 44-dimensional Taub-NUT space that reproduces some of its pathological behaviours. In this paper we provide an explicit base of the topology of the complete Misner space R1,1/boost\mathbb{R}^{1,1}/boost. Besides we prove that some parts of this space, that behave like topological boundaries, are equivalent to the gg-boundaries of the Misner space.
