We investigate typical behavior of geodesics on a closed flat surface $S$ of genus $g\geq 2$. We compare the length quotient of long arcs in the same homotopy class with fixed endpoints for the flat and the hyperbolic metric in the same…

Geodesics become an essential element of the geometry of a semi-Riemannian manifold. In fact, their differences and similarities with the (positive definite) Riemannian case, constitute the first step to understand semi-Riemannian Geometry.…

We consider the motion of test particles in the spacetime of a black hole in f(R) gravity. The complete set of analytic solutions of the geodesic equation in the spacetime of this black hole are presented. The geodesic equations are solved…

The concept of a skew root of a skew polynomial is used to introduce notions of algebraic closedness for $\sigma$-fields, that is, a field equipped with an endomorphism. It is shown that every $\sigma$-field can be embedded in algebraically…
Methods of Hamiltonian dynamics are applied to study the geodesic flow on the resolved conifolds over Sasaki-Einstein space $T^{1,1}$. We construct explicitly the constants of motion and prove complete integrability of geodesics in the…
We consider solutions of the 2x2 matrix Hamiltonians of the physical systems within the context of the su(2) and su(1,1) Lie algebra. Our technique is relatively simple when compared with the others and treats those Hamiltonians which can…
A family of geometries on S^7 arise as solutions of the classical equations of motion in 11 dimensions. In addition to the conventional riemannian geometry and the two exceptional Cartan-Schouten compact flat geometries with torsion, one…
We show that on every compact Riemannian 2-orbifold there exist infinitely many closed geodesics of positive length.
We prove the existence of infinitely many low-lying and fundamental closed geodesics on the modular surface which are reciprocal, that is, invariant under time reversal. The method combines ideas from Parts I and II of this series, namely…
In this work, we study the geodesic structure for a geometry described by a spherically symmetric four-dimensional solution embedded in a five-dimensional space known as a brane-based spherically symmetric solution. Mainly, we have found…
We study a large class of supersymmetric solutions in four-dimensional $N=5$ gauged supergravity with $SO(5)$ gauge group. There is only one $N=5$ supersymmetric $AdS_4$ vacuum preserving the full $SO(5)$ symmetry dual to an $N=5$ SCFT in…
We consider general relativity with cosmological constant minimally coupled to electromagnetic field and assume that four-dimensional space-time manifold is the warped product of two surfaces with Lorentzian and Euclidean signature metrics.…
Many important problems in astrophysics, space physics, and geophysics involve flows of (possibly ionized) gases in the vicinity of a spherical object, such as a star or planet. The geometry of such a system naturally favors numerical…
The algorithms given in Karney, J. Geodesy 87, 43-55 (2013), to compute geodesics on terrestrial ellipsoids are extended to apply to ellipsoids of revolution with arbitrary eccentricity. For the direct and inverse geodesic problems, this…
We consider the geodesic motion on the symmetric moduli spaces that arise after timelike and spacelike reductions of supergravity theories. The geodesics correspond to timelike respectively spacelike $p$-brane solutions when they are lifted…
The direct geodesic problem on an oblate spheroid is described as an initial value problem and is solved numerically in geodetic and Cartesian coordinates. The geodesic equations are formulated by means of the theory of differential…
