Aubry-Mather Theory for Lorentzian Manifolds

Abstract

We introduce a version of Aubry-Mather theory for the length functional of causal curves in compact Lorentzian manifolds. Results include the existence of maximal invariant measures, calibrations and calibrated curves. We prove two versions of the Mather's graph theorem. A class of examples, the Lorentzian Hedlund examples, shows the optimality of the obtained results.
