Isometry-invariant geodesics and the fundamental group, II

arXiv:1504.05685 · doi:10.1016/j.aim.2016.12.023

Abstract

We show that on a closed Riemannian manifold with fundamental group isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}$, other than the circle, every isometry that is homotopic to the identity possesses infinitely many invariant geodesics. This completes a recent result of the second author.
