Min-max construction of two capillary embedded geodesics on Riemannian $2$-disks
Abstract
In this paper, we prove the existence of two capillary embedded geodesics with a contact angle on Riemannian -disks with strictly convex boundary, where the absence of a simple closed geodesic loop based on a point of boundary is given. In particular, our condition contains the cases of Riemannian -disks with strictly convex boundary, nonnegative Gaussian curvature and total geodesic curvature lower bound of the boundary. Moreover, by providing examples, we prove that our total geodesic curvature condition is sharp to admit a capillary embedded geodesic with a contact angle under the nonnegative interior Gaussian curvature condition. We also prove the existence of Morse Index and capillary embedded geodesics for generic metric under the assumptions above.
