Multiple closed geodesics on Finsler $3$-dimensional sphere
Abstract
In 1973, Katok constructed a non-degenerate (also called bumpy) Finsler metric on $S^3$ with exactly four prime closed geodesics. And then Anosov conjectured that four should be the optimal lower bound of the number of prime closed geodesics on every Finsler $S^3$. In this paper, we proved this conjecture for bumpy Finsler $S^{3}$ if the Morse index of any prime closed geodesic is nonzero.
