Embedded constant-curvature curves on convex surfaces (Q657373)

Let \((S^2, g)\) be a two-dimensional oriented sphere with a smooth Riemannian metric \(g\). Existence results are proved for closed embedded curves with prescribed geodesic curvature on \((S^2, g)\) when the Gauss curvature \(K_g\) of the metric \(g\) is positive. In particular, the paper studies the existence of closed embedded constant-curvature curves on strictly convex spheres.
