+ | **Abstract:** | ||
+ | |||
+ | To each complete Riemannian manifold $M$ is associated a dynamical system -- the geodesic flow on the unit tangent bundle $SM$. To what extent are the dynamical properties of this flow wedded to the geometry of $M$? I will discuss some historical highlights, open questions and recent breakthroughs. | ||
