Invariant-measure periodic-orbit conjecture for geodesic flows
Invariant-measure periodic-orbit conjecture for geodesic flows
Let be a compact Riemannian manifold, let be an invariant probability measure for its geodesic flow, and let be a smooth hypersurface. Write for the unit cotangent bundle over , and, for a periodic geodesic , let denote its normalized periodic-orbit measure.
Invariant-measure periodic-orbit conjecture. If , then is supported on a union of periodic geodesics such that has positive arc-length measure and
The conjecture concerns the dynamical structure of invariant measures charging the unit cotangent bundle over a hypersurface. In dimension two, it would imply that positive mass on forces to have positive-measure intersection with a periodic geodesic; the source presents it as an open question.
