A comparison theorem on simply connected complete Riemannian manifolds (Q1419642)

Consider a simply connected complete Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature bounded above by \(-1\) and a curve in this space with geodesic curvature bounded by~\(1\) in absolute value. Generalizing a result in hyperbolic geometry, the author shows that this curve approaches the boundary. He estimates how fast this happens via the convergence of an improper integral.
