Abstract
It is not known whether or not the lenth of the shortest periodic geodesic on a closed Riemannian manifold can be majorized by , or , where is the dimension of , denotes the volume of , and denotes its diameter. In this paper we will prove that for each one can find such estimates for the length of a geodesic loop with with angle between and with an explicit constant that depends both on and . That is, let , and let . We will prove that there exists a "wide" (i.e. with an angle that is wider than ) geodesic loop on of length at most . We will also show that there exists a "wide" geodesic loop of length at most . Here is the Filling Radius of .
