A bumpy metric theorem and the Poisson relation for generic strictly convex domains (Q749937): Difference between revisions

The paper contains two results. The first one generalizes the bumpy metric theorem of Abraham (which asserts that for every \(C^{\infty}\)- manifold M there is a residual set of smooth metrics which are bumpy in the sense that every closed geodesic is nondegenerate): for generic submanifolds of \({\mathbb{R}}^ n\) without boundary the induced standard metric is a bumpy metric. The second result is a consequence of the first one: for generic bounded strictly convex domains \(\Omega \subset {\mathbb{R}}^ m\), \(m\geq 2\), the singular support of the tempered distribution \(\sigma (t)=\sum^{\infty}_{j=1}\cos \lambda_ jt\) (where \(\{\lambda^ 2_ j\}\) denotes the spectrum of the Dirichlet problem on \(\Omega\}\) coincides with the ``length spectrum'' (corresponding to all generalized periodic geodesics in \(\Omega\)).
