Arbitrarily short geodesics in closed hyperbolic manifolds of every dimension
Arbitrarily short geodesics in closed hyperbolic manifolds of every dimension
For an integer , a closed hyperbolic -manifold is a compact manifold locally isometric to -dimensional hyperbolic space, and a closed geodesic is a geodesic that is periodic. Arbitrarily short geodesics conjecture. There exist closed hyperbolic -manifolds with arbitrarily short geodesics. The paper proves the analogous assertion in dimension and explains that this conjecture would follow from the subsequent GFERF conjecture. Its status in the source is not specified.
