Sub-Riemannian geodesics on the 3-D sphere
The unit sphere S can be identified with the unitary group SU(2). Under this identification the unit sphere can be considered as a non-commutative Lie group. The commutation relations for the vector fields of the corresponding Lie algebra define a 2-step sub-Riemannian manifold. We study sub-Riemannian geodesics on this sub-Riemannian manifold making use of the Hamiltonian formalism and solving...
متن کاملGeometric Intersection Numbers on a Four-punctured Sphere
Let G4 be the space of all simple closed geodesics on the punctured sphere Σ4. We construct an explicit homeomorphism of the completion of G4 onto a circle by using geometric intersection numbers. Also, we relate these geometric intersection numbers to trace polynomials of transformations corresponding to geodesics in G4 in a representation of π1(Σ4) into PSL(2,C).
متن کاملThe Weil-Petersson geometry of the five-times punctured sphere
We give a new proof that the completion of the Weil-Petersson metric on Teichmüller space is Gromov-hyperbolic if the surface is a five-times punctured sphere or a twice-punctured torus. Our methods make use of the synthetic geometry of the Weil-Petersson metric.
متن کاملLength of geodesics on a two - dimensional sphere
Let M be an arbitrary Riemannian manifold diffeomorphic to S. Let x, y be two arbitrary points of M . We prove that for every k = 1, 2, 3, . . . there exist k distinct geodesics between x and y of length less than or equal to (4k − 2k− 1)d, where d denotes the diameter of M . To prove this result we demonstrate that for every Riemannian metric on S there are two (not mutually exclusive) possibi...
متن کاملAlmost Positive Curvature on the Gromoll-meyer Sphere
Gromoll and Meyer have represented a certain exotic 7-sphere Σ as a biquotient of the Lie group G = Sp(2). We show for a 2-parameter family of left invariant metrics on G that the induced metric on Σ has strictly positive sectional curvature at all points outside four subvarieties of codimension ≥ 1 which we describe explicitly.
