The Picard Group, Closed Geodesics, and Zeta Functions
In this article we consider the Picard group SL(2, Z[;']), viewed as a discrete subgroup of the isometries of hyperbolic space. We fix a canonical choice of generators and then construct a Markov partition for the action of the group on the sphere at infinity. Our main application is to the study of the zeta function associated to the associated three-dimensional hyperbolic manifold.
متن کاملOn The Closed Geodesics Problem
In this paper we review some important results on the closed geodesics problem for compact Riemannian manifolds, as the Gromoll-Mayer Theorem, and discuss some extension of those results to the case of Finsler and semi Rimannian manifolds.
متن کاملLoop Products and Closed Geodesics
The critical points of the length function on the free loop space Λ(M) of a compact Riemannian manifold M are the closed geodesics on M. The length function gives a filtration of the homology of Λ(M) and we show that the Chas-Sullivan product Hi(Λ)×Hj(Λ) ∗ Hi+j−n(Λ) is compatible with this filtration. We obtain a very simple expression for the associated graded homology ring GrH∗(Λ(M)) when all...
متن کاملThe Picard group
Why should a number theorist be interested in algebraic geometry? In this course we hope to demonstrate one very good reason, by showing essentially geometric reasons why certain Diophantine equations fail to have solutions. But we will begin by placing the study of Diophantine equations into the context of algebraic geometry, to see how techniques from many different realms of mathematics can ...
متن کاملStability of Closed Timelike Geodesics
The existence and stability under linear perturbations of closed timelike geodesics (CTG) in Bonnor-Ward spacetime is studied in some detail. Regions where the CTG exist and are linearly stable are exhibited. In 1949 Gödel found a solution to the Einstein field equation with nonzero cosmological constant that admits closed timelike curves (CTC) [1]. It could be argued that the Gödel solution is...
