1 6 Ju n 20 03 CLOSED GEODESICS ON ORBIFOLDS
In this paper, we try to generalize to the case of compact Riemannian orbifolds Q some classical results about the existence of closed geodesics of positive length on compact Riemannian manifolds M. We shall also consider the problem of the existence of infinitely many geometrically distinct closed geodesics. In the classical case the solution of those problems involve the consideration of the ...
متن کاملClosed Geodesics in Compact Riemannian Good Orbifolds and Horizontal Periodic Geodesics of Riemannian Foliations
In this paper we prove the existence of closed geodesics in certain types of compact Riemannian good orbifolds. This gives us an elementary alternative proof of a result due to Guruprasad and Haefliger. In addition, we prove some results about horizontal periodic geodesics of Riemannian foliations and stress the relation between them and closed geodesics in Riemannian orbifolds. In particular w...
متن کاملOn The Closed Geodesics Problem
In this paper we review some important results on the closed geodesics problem for compact Riemannian manifolds, as the Gromoll-Mayer Theorem, and discuss some extension of those results to the case of Finsler and semi Rimannian manifolds.
متن کاملClosed geodesics on incomplete surfaces
We consider the problem of finding embedded closed geodesics on the two-sphere with an incomplete metric defined outside a point. Various techniques including curve shortening methods are used.
متن کاملClosed Geodesics on Gödel-type Backgrounds
We consider radial oscillations of supertube probes in the Gödel-type background which is U-dual to the compactified pp-wave obtained from the Penrose limit of the NS five-brane near horizon geometry. The supertube probe computation can be carried over directly to a string probe calculation on the U-dual background. The classical equations of motion are solved exactly. In general, the probe is ...
