Abstract

Let (M,g)(M,g) be an asymptotically conical Riemannian manifold having dimension n2n\ge 2, opening angle α(0,π/2){arcsin12k+1}kN\alpha \in (0,\pi/2) \setminus \{\arcsin \frac{1}{2k+1}\}_{k \in \mathbb{N}} and positive asymptotic rate. Under the assumption that the exponential map is proper at each point, we give a solution to the one dimensional asymptotic Plateau problem on MM. Precisely, for any pair of antipodal points in the ideal boundary M=Sn1\partial_\infty M = \mathbb S^{n-1}, we prove the existence of a geodesic line with asymptotic prescribed boundaries and the Morse index n1\le n-1.
