On The Closed Geodesics Problem

چکیده
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.

2 00 7 The existence of two closed geodesics on every Finsler 2 - sphere
In this paper, we prove that for every Finsler metric on S there exist at least two distinct prime closed geodesics. For the case of the two-sphere, this solves an open problem posed by D. V. Anosov in 1974.

متن کاملAsymptotic Expansions for Closed Orbits in Homology Classes
Let V be a smooth compact manifold with first Betti number b > 0 equipped with a Riemannian metric of (possibly variable) negative curvature. Such a manifold has a countable infinity of closed geodesics and it is an important problem to understand their distribution. In this paper we concentrate on the distribution with respect to homology of V . A natural dynamical generalization of this probl...
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...
