Abstract
The geodesic structure of standard static space-times is studied and conditions are found which imply nonreturning and pseudoconvex geodesic systems. As a consequence, it is shown that if the Riemannian factor manifold F satisfies the nonreturning property and has a pseudoconvex geodesic system and if the warping function f : F --> (0, infinity) is bounded above then the standard static space-time (f)(a, b) x F is geodesically connected.
