Closed 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 Certain Surfaces of Revolution
Abstract. Recently I. Mladenov and J. Oprea have investigated a number of surfaces of revolution, and in particular, developed numerical shooting methods to investigate geodesics on those surfaces, which in turn led them to raise some questions concerning closed geodesics on those surfaces. Here we develop explicit formulae, usually in terms of elliptic integrals, that permit us to answer the q...
متن کاملSuper-liouville Equations on Closed Riemann Surfaces
Motivated by the supersymmetric extension of Liouville theory in the recent physics literature, we couple the standard Liouville functional with a spinor field term. The resulting functional is conformally invariant. We study geometric and analytic aspects of the resulting Euler-Lagrange equations, culminating in a blow up analysis.
متن کاملCurve Shortening and the Topology of Closed Geodesics on Surfaces
We study “flat knot types” of geodesics on compact surfaces M2. For every flat knot type and any Riemannian metric g we introduce a Conley index associated with the curve shortening flow on the space of immersed curves on M2. We conclude existence of closed geodesics with prescribed flat knot types, provided the associated Conley index is nontrivial.
