Introductory text on Riemannian geometry

Personally, for the basics, I can't recommend John M. Lee's "Riemannian Manifolds: An Introduction to Curvature" highly enough. If you already know a lot though, then it might be too basic, because it …

Closed geodesics in free smooth loop space?

I know very little about these subjects, so I apologise if this is a naive line of inquiry: Let $M$ be a smooth $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold. I understand that it is possible to construct an i …

What dimension bound is known on the singular set of a linear combination of eigenfunctions ...

Let $(M,g)$ be a smooth, closed Riemannian manifold and suppose that $\phi_1,\dots,\phi_m$ are eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on $M$. Write $f = \phi_1 + \dots + \phi_m$. How big can the set $\math …
