Uniqueness of the measure of maximal entropy for geodesic flows on coarse hyperbolic manifolds without conjugate points

Gerhard Knieper

In this article we study geodesic flows on closed Riemannian manifolds without conjugate points and divergence property of geodesic rays. If the fundamental group is Gromov hyperbo…

Horospherical mean curvature functions and D'Atri spaces

Gerhard Knieper, JeongHyeong Park, Norbert Peyerimhoff

We consider simply connected Riemannian manifolds without conjugate points for which the horospherical mean curvature function is continuous, reversible and invariant under the geo…

Maximal stretch and Lipschitz maps on Riemannian manifolds of negative curvature

Xian Dai, Gerhard Knieper

In his seminal work on Teichmüller spaces (\cite{Th98}), Thurston introduced the maximal stretch for a pair of hyperbolic metrics on a closed surface of genus and showed t…

A quantitative closing Lemma and Partner orbits on Riemannian manifolds with negative curvature

Michela Egidi, Gerhard Knieper

In this paper we prove a quantitative closing Lemma for manifolds of negative sectional curvature. As an application we study partner and pseudo-partner orbits for self-crossing cl…

Surfaces of section for geodesic flows of closed surfaces

Gonzalo Contreras, Gerhard Knieper, Marco Mazzucchelli +1

We prove several results concerning the existence of surfaces of section for the geodesic flows of closed orientable Riemannian surfaces. The surfaces of section that we constr…

Geodesic Anosov flows, hyperbolic closed geodesics and stable ergodicity

Gerhard Knieper, Benjamin H. Schulz

In this paper we show that the geodesic flow of a Finsler metric is Anosov if and only if there exists a open neighborhood of Finsler metrics all of whose closed geodesics ar…
