Abstract

The model of a massless relativistic particle with curvature-dependent Lagrangian is well known in (d+1)-dimensional Minkowski space. For other gravitational fields less rigid than those with constant (zero) curvature only a few results are known. In this paper, we give a geometric approach in order to solve the field equations associated with that Lagrangian in the setting of an interesting three-dimensional background, namely, a three-dimensional warped product with Lorentzian fibers. When some rigidity conditions are imposed to the fiber (constant Gauss curvature), the trajectories can be totally described. Several examples help us clarify this.
