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 کاملPeriodic geodesics on translation surfaces
Let M be a compact connected oriented surface. The surface M is called a translation surface if it is equipped with a translation structure, that is, an atlas of charts such that all transition functions are translations in R2. It is assumed that the chart domains cover all surface M except for finitely many points called singular. The translation structure induces the structure of a smooth man...
متن کاملAffine Isometric Embedding for Surfaces
A strictly convex hypersurface in Rn can be endowed with a Riemannian metric in a way that is invariant under the group of (equi)affine motions. We study the corresponding isometric embedding problem for surfaces in R3. This problem is formulated in terms of a quasilinear elliptic system of PDE for the Pick form. A negative result is obtained by attempting to invert about the standard embedding...
متن کاملFrom Normal Surfaces to Normal Curves to Geodesics on Surfaces
Motivated by the topological theory of normal surface we give in this paper a complete study of the relations between geodesic curves and normal curves embedded in a triangulated Riemannian surface. Normal surface theory is a topological piecewise linear (p` for short) counterpart of the differential geometric theory of minimal surfaces. This theory studies the ways surfaces intersect with a gi...
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We give a proof of an unpublished result of Thurston showing that given any hyperbolic metric on a surface of finite type with nonempty boundary, there exists another hyperbolic metric on the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...
