A class of Lorentzian manifolds with indecomposable holonomy groups

Differential Geometry 2010-10-12 v4

Abstract

We consider a class of S1S^{1}-bundles whose total space admits a nowhere vanishing recurrent lightlike vector field with respect to a Lorentzian metric. This metric can be modified such that its restricted holonomy group is indecomposable and reducible. We apply Hodge theory to construct examples with Hermitian screen holonomy. Finally, we construct complete pp-waves.
