Is there a construction in Riemannian geometry which relates the gradient flow of a function on a manifold with a certain metric with geodesics on another related manifold with its own metric?

- $\begingroup$ Well, geodesic flow is a skew-gradient flow for the riemannian metric. $\endgroup$Anton Petrunin– Anton Petrunin2022-08-26 21:14:50 +00:00Commented Aug 26, 2022 at 21:14
- $\begingroup$ Could you elaborate on that a bit? Or give me a reference? $\endgroup$mathuser128– mathuser1282022-08-28 15:24:34 +00:00Commented Aug 28, 2022 at 15:24
- $\begingroup$ geodesic flow is a skew-gradient flow for the riemannian metric on the tangent bundle with standard symplectic form. $\endgroup$Anton Petrunin– Anton Petrunin2022-08-28 19:09:13 +00:00Commented Aug 28, 2022 at 19:09
