Multiple closed geodesics on positively curved Finsler manifolds

Differential Geometry 2018-03-26 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we prove that on every Finsler manifold (M,F)(M,\,F) with reversibility λ\lambda and flag curvature KK satisfying (λλ+1)2<K1\left(\frac{\lambda}{\lambda+1}\right)^2<K\le 1, there exist [dimM+12][\frac{\dim M+1}{2}] closed geodesics. If the number of closed geodesics is finite, then there exist [dimM2][\frac{\dim M}{2}] non-hyperbolic closed geodesics. Moreover, there are 3 closed geodesics on (M,F)(M,\,F) satisfying the above pinching condition when dimM=3\dim M=3.
