Abstract

Consider a smooth manifold MM with a smooth cometric gg^{\ast} which changes the bilineal type by transverse way, on a hypersurface DD^{\infty}. Suppose that the radical annihilator hyperplane is tangent to DD^{\infty}. We examine the geometry of the (gg^{\ast}-dual) covariant metric gg on MM- DD^{\infty}, prove the existence of a canonical (polar-normal) vectorfield whose integral curves are CC^{\infty}-pregeodesics crossing DD^{\infty} transversely for each point, and analyze the curvature behavior using a natural coordinates. Finally we give an approach to the conformal geometry of such spaces and suggest some application as cosmological big-bang model.
