Geometry of foliations of Minkowski spaces

Abstract

As is well known, foliations of constant curvature and foliations generated by the orbits of Killing vector fields are important classes of foliations from a geometric point of view. The paper studies the geometry of some foliations of the Minkowski space, which arise in a natural way. It is shown that these foliations are foliations of constant curvature. The paper also studies the geometry of some singular foliations generated by the orbits of Killing vector fields.
