Jan 18 at 10:48 comment added Mikhail Katz There does not seem to be a book "Pedersen, Riemannian geometry". You are probably referring to the book by Peter Petersen.
Jan 18 at 6:29 comment added Ramiro Lafuente A reference for a proof without the assumption of compactness is the book of Cheeger and Ebin, "Comparison Theorems in Riemannian Geometry".

Jan 18 at 1:23 comment added Deane Yang It is easily checked that the proof of Klingenberg's lemma also proves the statement for a complete Riemannian manifold. It is a common situation where an author states a theorem and provides a proof that implies a stronger theorem. This is an example of that.
Jan 17 at 18:18 comment added Daniel Asimov Of course, a simply connected noncompact riemannian manifold might have no geodesic loops at all.
