Abstract

In this article, we establish the Hopf-Tsuji-Sullivan dichotomy for geodesic flows on certain manifolds with no conjugate points: either the geodesic flow is conservative and ergodic, or it is completely dissipative and non-ergodic. We also show several equivalent conditions to the conservativity, such the Poincar\'e series diverges at the critical exponent, the conical limit set has full Patterson-Sullivan measure, etc.
