چکیده

We propose a simple method of explicit description of families of closed geodesics on a triaxial ellipsoid Q that are cut out by algebraic surfaces in R. Such geodesics are either connected components of spatial elliptic curves or rational curves. Our approach is based on elements of the Weierstrass–Poncaré reduction theory for hyperelliptic tangential covers of elliptic curves and the addition law for elliptic functions. For the case of 3-fold and 4-fold coverings, explicit formulas for the cutting algebraic surfaces are provided and some properties of the corresponding geodesics are discussed.

Algebraically closed real geodesics on n - dimensional ellipsoids are dense in the parameter space and related to hyperelliptic tangential coverings ∗

The closedness condition for real geodesics on n–dimensional ellipsoids is in general transcendental in the parameters (semiaxes of the ellipsoid and constants of motion). We show that it is algebraic in the parameters if and only if both the real and the imaginary geodesics are closed and we characterize such double–periodicity condition via real hyperelliptic tangential coverings. We prove th...

We prove that any real doubly periodic geodesic on an n dimensional ellipsoid with distinct semiaxes and caustic parameters is uniquely associated to a real hyperelliptic tangential cover and that the following density property holds: given a real closed geodesic on the ellipsoid Q = {X2 1/a1 + · · ·+X2 n+1/an+1 = 1} with caustic parameters cj, j = 1, . . . , n − 1, for any ǫ > 0 there exist (a...

1 6 Ju n 20 03 CLOSED GEODESICS ON ORBIFOLDS

In this paper, we try to generalize to the case of compact Riemannian orbifolds Q some classical results about the existence of closed geodesics of positive length on compact Riemannian manifolds M. We shall also consider the problem of the existence of infinitely many geometrically distinct closed geodesics. In the classical case the solution of those problems involve the consideration of the ...

Isometry - 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.
