Orthogonal trajectories on Riemannian manifolds and applications to Plane Wave type spacetimes Original Research Article

We present a result on trajectories of a Lagrangian system joining two given submanifolds of a Riemannian manifold, under the action of an unbounded potential. As an application, we consider geodesics in a class of semi-Riemannian manifolds, the Plane Wave type spacetimes.
