Geodesics on metrics of self-dual Taub-Nut type

Abstract

Geodesic equations are solved when at least two of $\tau$, $\theta$, $\varphi$ are constant on metrics of self-dual Taub-NUT type. They can also be solved also on self-dual Taub-NUT metrics if only $r$, $\theta$ or $\varphi$ is constant. However, the explicit solution of the geodesic equations is not available yet if only $\tau$ is constant.
