Homogeneous geodesics of left invariant Finsler metrics
In this paper, we study the set of homogeneous geodesics of a leftinvariant Finsler metric on Lie groups. We first give a simple criterion that characterizes geodesic vectors. As an application, we study some geometric properties of bi-invariant Finsler metrics on Lie groups. In particular a necessary and sufficient condition that left-invariant Randers metrics are of Berwald type is given. Fin...
متن کاملIsometry-invariant geodesics and the fundamental group
We prove that on closed Riemannian manifolds with infinite abelian, but not cyclic, fundamental group, any isometry that is homotopic to the identity possesses infinitely many invariant geodesics. We conjecture that the result remains true if the fundamental group is infinite cyclic. We also formulate a generalization of the isometry-invariant geodesics problem, and a generalization of the cele...
متن کاملIsometry - invariant geodesics with Lipschitz obstacle 1
Given a linear isometry A0 : Rn → Rn of finite order on Rn , a general 〈A0〉-invariant closed subset M of Rn is considered with Lipschitz boundary. Under suitable topological restrictions the existence of A0-invariant geodesics of M is proven.
متن کاملGeometry of Infinitely Generated Veech Groups
Veech groups uniformize Teichmüller geodesics in Riemann moduli space. We gave examples of infinitely generated Veech groups; see Duke Math. J. 123 (2004), 49–69. Here we show that the associated Teichmüller geodesics can even have both infinitely many cusps and infinitely many infinite ends.
متن کاملA Note on Carnot Geodesics in Nilpotent Lie Groups
We show that strictly abnormal geodesics arise in graded nilpotent Lie groups. We construct such a group, for which some Carnot geodesics are strictly abnormal and, in fact, not normal in any subgroup. In the 2-step case we also prove that these geodesics are always smooth. Our main technique is based on the equations for the normal and abnormal curves, that we derive (for any Lie group) explic...
