| Abstract
|
:
|
"Geodesic flows are of considerable current interest since they are, perhaps, the most remarkable class of conservative dynamical systems. They provide a unified arena in which one can explore numerous interplays among several fields, including smooth ergodic theory, symplectic and Riemannian geometry, and algebraic topology."

"This self-contained monograph will be of interest to graduate students and researchers of dynamical systems and differential geometry. Numerous exercises and examples as well as a comprehensive index and bibliography make this work an excellent self-study resource or text for a one-semester course or seminar."--Jacket.
