Geodesic structure of the cosmological Levi-Civita spacetimes

Abstract

We investigate the implications of the behavior of geodesics in static, cylindrically symmetric spacetimes with a non-zero cosmological constant. We consider the symmetries of these spacetimes to restrict admissible ranges of the metric parameters and to formulate an intuitively plausible interpretation of the coordinates.
