9780821807033: Closed Geodesics on Riemannian Manifolds (CBMS Regional Conference Series in Mathematics)

Sinopsis

This book contains expository lectures from the CBMS Regional Conference held at the University of Florida, 1982. The author considers a space formed by all closed curves in which the closed geodesics are characterized as the critical points of a functional, an idea going back to Morse. This exposition gives a refined version of Morse's approach which has several advantages over the old one - in particular, it possesses a canonical $\mathbf O(2)$-action.
