A Riemannian manifold \((M,g)\) all of whose geodesics are closed with the same minimal period is a Zoll manifold. In this case, the space of geodesics on \(M\) has a natural manifold structure. More precisely, if we denote by \(U^*M\) the unit cotangent bundle of \(M\), then the space of geodesics is the quotient of \(U^*M\) by the characteristic flow, and carries a natural symplectic structure. In this paper, the author shows that the space of geodesics on a Zoll three-sphere is symplectomorphic to the product of two copies of symplectic two-spheres with the same area. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0994.00028].
