Abstract

In this chapter, we collect several results for conformally standard stationary spacetimes \((S \times \mathbb{R},g)\) obtained in terms of a Finsler metric of Randers type on the orbit manifold S that we call Fermat metric. This metric is obtained by applying the relativistic Fermat principle and it turns out that it encodes all the causal aspects of the space time.
