摘要
Let Mn be a closed Riemannian manifold homotopy equivalent to the product of S2 and an arbitrary (n–2)-dimensional manifold. In this paper we prove that given an arbitrary pair of points on Mn there exist at least k distinct geodesics of length at most 20k!d between these points for every positive integer k. Here d denotes the diameter of Mn.
