Abstract: A complete Riemannian manifold is a -manifold if every unit speed geodesic originating at satisfies for . Bérard-Bergery proved that if is a -manifold, then is a closed manifold with finite fundamental group, and the cohomology ring is generated by one element. We say that is a -manifold if for every there exists such that for every unit speed geodesic originating at , the point is -close to . We use Low’s notion of refocussing Lorentzian space–times to show that if is a -manifold, then is a closed manifold with finite fundamental group. As a corollary we get that a Riemannian covering of a -manifold is a -manifold. Another corollary is that if is a -manifold, then is a -manifold for some metric . [Copyright &y& Elsevier] |
