In this paper we present a survey of Fermat metrics and their applications to stationary spacetimes. A Fermat principle for light rays is stated in this class of spacetimes and we present a variational theory for the light rays and a description of the multiple image effect. Some results on variational methods, as Ljusternik-Schnirelmann and Morse Theory are recalled, to give a description of the variational methods used. Other applications of the Fermat metrics concern the global hyperbolicity and the geodesic connectedeness and a characterization of the Sagnac effect in a stationary spacetime. Finally some possible applications to other class of spacetimes are considered.

AbstractIn this paper we develop general Minkowski-type formulae for compact spacelike hypersurfaces immersed into conformally stationary spacetimes, that is, Lorentzian manifolds admitting a timelike conformal field. We apply them to the study of the umbilicity of compact spacelike hypersurfaces in terms of their $r$-mean curvatures. We derive several uniqueness results, for instance, compact spacelike hypersurfaces are umbilical if either some of their $r$-mean curvatures are linearly related or one of them is constant.AMS 2000 Mathematics subject classification: Primary 53C42.
