Homeomorphisms and monotone vector fields

From MaRDI portal





A vector field \(X\) on a convex Riemannian manifold is called monotone if the function \(\langle X,\dot\gamma\rangle\) is increasing along all geodesics \(\gamma\). The author shows that on a Hadamard manifold \(M\), the map \(x\mapsto\exp_xX_x\) is an expansive homeomorphism of \(M\). This generalizes a classical result of \textit{G. Minty} for Hilbert spaces in [Duke Math. J. 29, 341-346 (1962; Zbl 0111.31202)].
