Title	Short geodesic segments on closed Riemannian manifolds
Creator	Rotman, Regina
Publisher	Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery
Date Issued	2013-08-06
Description	A well-known result of J. P. Serre states that for an arbitrary pair of points on a closed Riemannian manifold there exist infinitely many geodesics connecting these points. A natural question is whether one can estimate the length of the “k-th” geodesic in terms of the diameter of a manifold. We will demonstrate that given any pair of points on a closed Riemannian manifold M of dimension n and diameter d, there always exist at least k geodesics of length at most 4nk2d connecting them. We will also demonstrate that for any two points of a manifold that is diffeomorphic to the 2-sphere, there always exist at least k geodesics between them of length at most 22kd. (Joint with A. Nabutovsky).
