Pdmi Preprint | 05/2002 on the Fundamental Group of a Compact Space without Conjugate Points
In 1986, C. Croke and V. Schroeder proved that the fundamental group ? of a compact analytic Riemannian manifold without conjugate points possesses the following property: every abelian subgroup ? 0 of ? is straight, that is, word metrics of ? and ? 0 are Lipschitz equivalent on ? 0. In this paper we prove that the same property holds for the fundamental group of any compact length space withou...
متن کاملGrowth of the Number of Geodesics between Points and Insecurity for Riemannian Manifolds
A Riemannian manifold is said to be uniformly secure if there is a finite number s such that all geodesics connecting an arbitrary pair of points in the manifold can be blocked by s point obstacles. We prove that the number of geodesics with length ≤ T between every pair of points in a uniformly secure manifold grows polynomially as T → ∞. By results of Gromov and Mañé, the fundamental group of...
متن کاملOn Spaces of Polynomial Growth with No Conjugate Points
The following generalization of the Hopf conjecture is proved: if the fundamental group of an n-dimensional compact polyhedral space M without boundary and with no conjugate points has polynomial growth, then there exists a finite covering of M by a flat torus. §
متن کاملA Berger-green Type Inequality for Compact Lorentzian Manifolds
We give a Lorentzian metric on the null congruence associated with a timelike conformal vector field. A Liouville type theorem is proved and a boundedness for the volume of the null congruence, analogous to a well-known Berger-Green theorem in the Riemannian case, will be derived by studying conjugate points along null geodesics. As a consequence, several classification results on certain compa...
متن کاملA Geometry Preserving Kernel over Riemannian Manifolds
Abstract- Kernel trick and projection to tangent spaces are two choices for linearizing the data points lying on Riemannian manifolds. These approaches are used to provide the prerequisites for applying standard machine learning methods on Riemannian manifolds. Classical kernels implicitly project data to high dimensional feature space without considering the intrinsic geometry of data points. ...
