In this article, we found all simple closed geodesics on regular spherical octahedra and spherical cubes. In addition, we estimate the number of simple closed geodesics on regular spherical tetrahedra.

Geodesic loops on polyhedra were studied only for Euclidean space and it was known that there are no simple geodesic loops on regular tetrahedra. Here we prove that: 1) On the spherical space, there are no simple geodesic loops on…

Pogorelov proved in 1949 that every every convex polyhedron has at least three simple closed quasigeodesics. Whereas a geodesic has exactly pi surface angle to either side at each point, a quasigeodesic has at most pi surface angle to…

It is well-known that every isosceles tetrahedron (disphenoid) admits infinitely many simple closed geodesics on its surface. They can be naturally enumerated by pairs of co-prime integers $n > m > 1$ with two additional cases $(1,0)$ and…

In this paper we present a necessary conditions, that simple close geodesics on regular tetrahedra in the 3-dimensional hyperbolic space must satisfy. Furthermore, we explicitly describe three classes of simple closed geodesics on regular…

We obtained a complete classification of simple closed geodesics on regular tetrahedra in Lobachevsky space. Also, we evaluated the number of simple closed geodesics of length not greater than $L$ and found the asymptotic of this number as…

A quasigeodesic is a curve on the surface of a convex polyhedron that has $\le \pi$ surface to each side at every point. In contrast, a geodesic has exactly $\pi$ to each side and so can never pass through a vertex, whereas quasigeodesics…

A closed quasigeodesic on a convex polyhedron is a closed curve that is locally straight outside of the vertices, where it forms an angle at most $\pi$ on both sides. While the existence of a simple closed quasigeodesic on a convex…

We prove that every tetrahedron T has a simple, closed quasigeodesic that passes through three vertices of T. Equivalently, every T has a face whose "exterior angles" are at most pi.

We show that on any translation surface, if a regular point is contained in a simple closed geodesic, then it is contained in infinitely many simple closed geodesics, whose directions are dense in the unit circle. Moreover, the set of…

Extending previous results on a characterization of all equilateral triangle in space having vertices with integer coordinates ("in $\mathbb Z^3$"), we look at the problem of characterizing all regular polyhedra (Platonic Solids) with the…

We give a Morse-theoretic characterization of simple closed geodesics on Riemannian $2$-spheres. On any Riemannian $2$-sphere endowed with a generic metric, we show there exists a simple closed geodesic with Morse index $1$, $2$ and $3$. In…

Let $M$ be a compact simply connected manifold satisfying $H^*(M;\mathbf{Q})\cong T_{d,n+1}(x)$ for integers $d\ge 2$ and $n\ge 1$. If all prime closed geodesics on $(M,F)$ with an irreversible bumpy Finsler metric $F$ are elliptic, either…

This article deals with the set of closed geodesics on complete finite type hyperbolic surfaces. For any non-negative integer $k$, we consider the set of closed geodesics that self-intersect at least $k$ times, and investigate those of…

For a hyperbolic surface S of finite type we consider the set A(S) of angles between closed geodesics on S. Our main result is that there are only finitely many rational multiples of \pi in A(S).

In this paper we study 1/k-geodesics, those closed geodesics that minimize on any subinterval of length $L/k$, where $L$ is the length of the geodesic. We investigate the existence and behavior of these curves on doubled polygons and show…

In this work, we show the geometric properties of a family of polyhedra obtained by folding a regular tetrahedron along regular triangular grids. Each polyhedron is identified by a pair of nonnegative integers. The polyhedron can be cut…

Let $M$ be an irreducible Hermitian symmetric space of compact type, and let $\omega$ be its K\"ahler form. For a triplet $(p_1,p_2,p_3)$ of points in $M$ we study conditions under which a geodesic triangle $\mathcal T(p_1,p_2,p_3)$ with…
