We study the evolution equations for a regularized version of Dirac-geodesics, which are the one-dimensional version of Dirac-harmonic maps. We show that for the regularization being sufficiently large, the evolution equations subconverge to a regularized Dirac-geodesic. In the end, we discuss the limiting process of r…

We consider geodesics in both Riemannian and Lorentzian manifolds with metrics of low regularity. We discuss existence of extremal curves for continuous metrics and present several old and new examples that highlight their subtle interrelation with solutions of the geodesic equations. Then we turn to the initial value …

We show the optimal C1,1C^{1,1} regularity of geodesics in nef and big cohomology class on Kähler manifolds away from the non-Kähler locus, assuming sufficiently regular initial data. As a special case, we prove the C1,1C^{1,1} regularity of geodesics of Kähler metrics on compact Kähler varieties away from the singular loc…

In this paper we study 1/k-geodesics, those closed geodesics that minimize on any subinterval of length L/kL/k, where LL is the length of the geodesic. We investigate the existence and behavior of these curves on doubled polygons and show that every doubled regular nn-gon admits a 1/2n1/2n-geodesic. For the doubled regu…

The behavior of geodesic curves on even seemingly simple surfaces can be surprisingly complex. In this paper we use the Hamiltonian formulation of the geodesic equations to analyze their integrability properties. In particular, we examine the behavior of geodesics on surfaces defined by the spherical harmonics. Using t…

Let GG be a finitely generated group. We show that for any finite generating set AA, the language consisting of all geodesics in Cay(G,A)Cay(G,A) with a contracting property is a regular language. As an application, we show that any finitely generated group containing an infinite contracting geodesic must be either virtual…

This paper is devoted to the regularity analysis of a geodesic equation in the space of Sasakian metrics. Firstly, we reduce the geodesic equation in the space of Sasakian metrics to a Dirichlet problem of degenerate complex Monge-Ampére type eqution on the Kähler cone; secondly, we obtain a priori etimates for the abo…

We study the low-regularity (in-)extendibility of spacetimes within the synthetic-geometric framework of Lorentzian length spaces developed in [KS:17].

A prime geodesic theorem is proven for singular geodesics in quotients of SL(4). This is a case where regularity assumptions of previous papers fail. As a consequence, the analysis becomes much more involved. For applications in number theory (class number asymptotics) it is, however, necessary to consider this case, t…
