Closed geodesics on positively curved Finsler spheres
In this paper, we prove that for every Finsler n-sphere (S, F ) for n ≥ 3 with reversibility λ and flag curvature K satisfying ( λ λ+1 )2 < K ≤ 1, either there exist infinitely many prime closed geodesics or there exists one elliptic closed geodesic whose linearized Poincaré map has at least one eigenvalue which is of the form exp(πiμ) with an irrational μ. Furthermore, there always exist three...
متن کاملExistence of closed geodesics on Finsler n-spheres
In this paper, we prove that on every Finsler n-sphere (S, F ) with reversibility λ satisfying F 2 < ( λ )g0 and l(S , F ) ≥ π(1 + 1 λ ), there always exist at least n prime closed geodesics without self-intersections, where g0 is the standard Riemannian metric on S n with constant curvature 1 and l(S, F ) is the length of a shortest geodesic loop on (S, F ). We also study the stability of thes...
متن کاملConvex Polyhedra without Simple Closed Geodesics
In 1905, in his famous article “Sur les lignes géodésiques des surfaces convexes” [1] H. Poincaré posed a question on the existence of at least three geometrically different closed geodesics without self-intersections on any smooth convex two-dimensional surface (2-surface) M homeomorphic to the two-dimensional sphere (2-sphere) S2. Each such geodesic splits the surface M into two domains homeo...
متن کاملSimple Closed Geodesics in Hyperbolic 3-Manifolds
This paper determines which orientable hyperbolic 3-manifolds contain simple closed geodesics. The Fuchsian group corresponding to the thrice-punctured sphere generates the only example of a complete nonelementary orientable hyperbolic 3-manifold that does not contain a simple closed geodesic. We do not assume that the manifold is geometrically finite or that it has finitely generated fundament...
متن کاملShortening all the simple closed geodesics on surfaces with boundary
We give a proof of an unpublished result of Thurston showing that given any hyperbolic metric on a surface of finite type with nonempty boundary, there exists another hyperbolic metric on the same surface for which the lengths of all simple closed geodesics have are shorter. Furthermore, we show that we can do the shortening in such a way that it is bounded below by a positive constant. This im...
