Convex and starshaped sets in manifolds without conjugate points
Abstract
Let be the class of complete simply connected dimensional manifolds without conjugate points. The hyperbolic space as well as Euclidean space are good examples of such manifolds. Let and let be a subset of . This article aims at characterization and building convex and starshaped sets in this class from inside. For example, it is proven that, for a compact starshaped set, the convex kernel is the intersection of stars of extreme points only. Also, if a closed unbounded convex set does not contain a totally geodesic hypersurface and its boundary has no geodesic ray, then is the convex hull of its extreme points. This result is a refinement of the well-known Karein-Millman theorem.
