Two elliptic closed geodesics on positively curved Finsler spheres

Differential Geometry 2016-02-26 v2

Abstract

In this paper, we prove that for every Finsler nn-dimensional sphere (Sn,F)(S^{n},F) with reversibility \lm\lm and flag curvature KK satisfying (\lm1+\lm)2<K1\left(\frac{\lm}{1+\lm}\right)^2<K\le 1, either there exist infinitely many closed geodesics, or there exist at least two elliptic closed geodesics and each linearized Poincar\'{e} map has at least one eigenvalue of the form e1the^{\sqrt{-1}\th} with th\th being an irrational multiple of π\pi.
