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 کاملConfigurations of curves and geodesics on surfaces
We study configurations of immersed curves in surfaces and surfaces in 3-manifolds. Among other results, we show that primitive curves have only finitely many configurations which minimize the number of double points. We give examples of minimal configurations not realized by geodesics in any hyperbolic metric.
متن کاملAsymptotic Curves and Geodesics on Surfaces
In this chapter we begin a study of special curves lying on surfaces in R. An asymptotic curve on a surface M ⊂ R is a curve whose velocity always points in a direction in which the normal curvature of M vanishes. In some sense, M bends less along an asymptotic curve than it does along a general curve. As a simple example, the straight lines on the cylinder (u, v) 7→ (cosu, sinu, v) formed by s...
متن کاملRandom Walks on Regular and Irregular Graphs
For an undirected graph and an optimal cyclic list of all its vertices, the cyclic cover time is the expected time it takes a simple random walk to travel from vertex to vertex along the list, until it completes a full cycle. The main result of this paper is a characterization of the cyclic cover time in terms of simple and easy to compute graph properties. Namely, for any connected graph, the ...
