The existence of infinitely many closed geodesics on a riemannian manifold, containing an isolated prime closed geodesic with maximal index growth

There are two main approaches to solve the problem of finding closed geodesics on a Riemannian manifold M. The variational approach views a closed geodesic as a closed curve which happens to be a geodesic and it looks for critical points of the energy functional, while the dynamical systems approach views a closed geodesic as a geodesic which happens to close up and looks for periodic orbits of the geodesic ow on the unit tangent bundle.
