Periodic geodesics on Riemannian manifolds
I will discuss the known results of (1) existence of periodic geodesics on Riemannian manifolds; (2) volume and diameter upper bounds for the length of the shortest periodic geodesics.

The first inventory of ants from the Xisha Islands of the South China Sea was compiled, revealing 21 species: 70% native and 30% exotic. Anthropogenic disturbance primarily drove exotic colonization, whereas island area showed weak positive effects on species richness. Most ants were omnivorous, with key mutualistic and seed‐dispersal roles.

Geodesic flows in cosmology [PDF]
In this brief note we discuss geodesic flows that correspond to cosmological solutions in higher-dimensional supergravity. On the one hand, we explain that S-brane solutions are in one-to-one correspondence with geodesic curves on the moduli space through dimensional reduction over the brane worldvolume.

Motivated by the close relation between Aubry-Mather theory and minimal geodesies on a 2-torus we study the existence and properties of minimal geodesics in compact Riemannian manifolds of dimension ≥3.

From Centrality to Sustainability: How Connected Boards Shape Waste Management Outcomes
ABSTRACT The escalating climate crisis has elevated waste management from an operational concern to a critical issue of corporate governance. However, the role of board connectedness in shaping firms' waste practices remains largely unexplored. Drawing on resource dependency and social capital theories, this study examines how board network centrality ...

Trapping of null geodesics in slowly rotating spacetimes
Extremely compact objects containing a region of trapped null geodesics could be of astrophysical relevance due to trapping of neutrinos with consequent impact on cooling processes or trapping of gravitational waves.

The topology and geometry of the space of null geodesics
This talk will provide a general introduction to the space of null geodesics. I will begin with a discussion of the case of Minkowski space, a special case with a great deal of structure.

ABSTRACT Firms increasingly face political and societal pressures to pursue green strategies and sustainable innovation amid escalating climate change disruptions. Drawing upon contingency theory, institutional theory, and the natural resource‐based view, this article examines external (stakeholder pressures) and internal (environmental culture ...

Metrics with homogeneous geodesics on flag manifolds [PDF]
summary:A geodesic of a homogeneous Riemannian manifold $(M=G/K, g)$ is called homogeneous if it is an orbit of an one-parameter subgroup of $G$. In the case when $M=G/H$ is a naturally reductive space, that is the $G$-invariant metric $g$ is defined by ...
