| Feb 7, 2012 at 9:31 | comment | added | Yemon Choi | Why do you want to equip the space of geodesics with a manifold structure? Does Ryan's suggestion do what you want? | |
| Feb 7, 2012 at 8:43 | comment | added | william | no this is not homework ... not at all | |
| Feb 7, 2012 at 8:04 | comment | added | Ryan Budney | The existence and uniqueness theorem for ODEs tells you a geodesic is uniquely determined by a tangent vector. So your space of geodesics is basically just the tangent bundle -- differentiate $\gamma$ at time $t=0$, $\gamma'(0)$. That's the map from your space of geodesics to the tangent bundle. Is this a homework problem? | |
