Abstract:
Closed geodesics can be regarded as critical points of the energy functional. In this talk, we will give a recent survey about the multiplicity and stability of closed geodesics on compact simply-connected Finsler manifolds. This is based on some joint works with Prof. Yiming Long and Prof. Wei Wang.
