CRC TRR 191 A02 - Riemannian orbifolds
Basic data for this project
Type of project: Subproject in DFG-joint project hosted outside University of Münster
Duration at the University of Münster: 01/01/2017 - 31/12/2017 | 1st Funding period
Description
We intend to prove the existence of at least one closed geodesic on every compact Riemannian orbifold, using methods developed in symplectic topology for proving the Weinstein conjecture. We also study orbifolds all of whose geodesics are closed with the help of holomorphic curve techniques. A further aim is to understand the topology of highly connected orbifolds, with applications to Riemannian foliations on manifolds.
