Extendibility of geodesics on transverse Riemann-Lorentz manifolds with polar end Javier Lafuente López and María Esther Fernández Vieito Departamento de Geometría, UCM. esthervieito@hotmail.com Abstract We study the extendibility of geodesics on a transverse Riemann-Lorentz typechanging manifold with polar end, a manifold endowed with a certain metric that fails to be defined at the hypersurface on signature change. We prove the existence and uniqueness of pregeodesics going across the hypersurface at each point in a single direction, called polar normal direction.
