Abstract

If a topological group G acts on a topological space M, then we say that the action is orbit nonproper provided that, for some m₀ ∈ M, the orbit map g → gm₀ : G → M is nonproper. In this paper we characterize the connected, simply connected Lie groups that admit a locally free, orbit nonproper action by isometrics of a connected Lorentz manifold. We also consider a number of variants on this question.
