We show that the sharp constants of Poincaré–Sobolev inequalities for any smooth two dimensional Riemannian manifold are less than or equal to [Formula: see text]. For a smooth topological two sphere M2, the sharp constants are [Formula: see text] if and only if M2 is isometric to two sphere S2 with the standard metric. In the same spirit, we show that for certain special smooth topological sphere the ratio between the shortest length of simple closed geodesics and the square root of its area is less than or equals to [Formula: see text].

Simple Closed Geodesics

AbstractChinburg and Reid have recently constructed examples of hyperbolic 3-manifolds in which every closed geodesic is simple. These examples are constructed in a highly non-generic way and it is of interest to understand in the general case the geometry of and structure of the set of closed geodesics in hyperbolic 3-manifolds. For hyperbolic 3-manifolds which contain immersed totally geodesic surfaces there are always non-simple closed geodesics. Here we construct examples of manifolds with non-simple closed geodesics and no totally geodesic surfaces.
