Review by V. Bangert, Jan 2005


Known errata:
  • Theorem 1.4.4. Let $\gamma^*$ be an extremal with no conjugate points. Then $\gamma^*$ can be embedded in an extremal field. (Translation error).
  • Theorem 3.6.1. ... there are at least dim(H_1(M,R)) minimal geodesics (Typo parenthesis).
  • Section 1.5: In invariant terminology, an n-dimensional submanifold (comma missing)
