In this paper we prove the following pointwise and curvature-free estimates on convexity radius, injectivity radius and local behavior of geodesics in a complete Riemannian manifold $M$: 1) the convexity radius of $p$, $operatorname{conv}(p)ge min{frac{1}{2}operatorname{inj}(p),operatorname{foc}(B_{operatorname{inj}(p)}(p))}$, where $operatorname{inj}(p)$ is the injectivity radius of $p$ and $operatorname{foc}(B_r(p))$ is the focal radius of open ball centered at $p$ with radius $r$; 2) for any two points $p,q$ in $M$, $operatorname{inj}(q)ge min{operatorname{inj}(p), operatorname{conj}(q)}-d(p,q),$ where $operatorname{conj}(q)$ is the conjugate radius of $q$; 3) for any $0<r<min{operatorname{inj}(p),frac{1}{2}operatorname{conj}(B_{operatorname{inj}(p)}(p))}$, any (not necessarily minimizing) geodesic in $B_r(p)$ has length $le 2r$. We also clarify two different concepts on convexity radius and give examples to illustrate that the one more frequently used in literature is not continuous.
Using Lie groupoids, we prove that the injectivity radius of a manifold with a Lie structure at infinity is positive.
It is given a topological pinching for the injectivity radius of a compact embedded surface either in the sphere or in the hyperbolic space
In a Riemannian manifold, the existence of a new connection is proved. In particular cases, this connection reduces to several symmetric, semi-symmetric and quarter-symmetric connections; even some of them are not introduced so far. We also find formula for curvature tensor of this new connection.
We derive fundamental asymptotic results for the expected covering radius $rho(X_N)$ for $N$ points that are randomly and independently distributed with respect to surface measure on a sphere as well as on a class of smooth manifolds. For the unit sp
This note proves that any locally extremal non-self-conjugate geodesic loop in a Riemannian manifold is a closed geodesic. As a consequence, any complete and non-contractible Riemannian manifold with diverging injectivity radii along diverging sequen
