Existence of ODD geodesics

Let (M,g)(M,\mathfrak{g}) be an ODD Riemannian manifold, let pMp\in M, and suppose an ODD orthonormal frame (Ei)i(E_i)_i is defined around pp. Let vTpMv\in T_pM be a tangent vector at pp.

Existence of ODD geodesics conjecture. There exists a unique ODD geodesic γ\gamma through pp in direction vv.

The preceding theorem establishes this existence and uniqueness at general points of MM and at general points of maximal components of the degeneracy locus. The conjecture proposes the corresponding statement at arbitrary points where an ODD orthonormal frame is available; the general case is not proved in the supplied text.
