In this paper we will prove that for each $epsilon >0$ one can find such estimates for the length of a geodesic loop with with angle between $pi-epsilon$ and $pi$ with an explicit constant that depends both on $n$ and $epsilon$. That is, let $epsilon > 0$, and let $a = lceil{ {1 over {sin ({epsilon over 2})}}} rceil+1 $. We will prove that there exists a wide (i.e. with an angle that is wider than $pi-epsilon$) geodesic loop on $M^n$ of length at most $2n!a^nd$. We will also show that there exists a wide geodesic loop of length at most $2(n+1)!^2a^{(n+1)^3} FillRad leq 2 cdot n(n+1)!^2a^{(n+1)^3} vol^{1 over n}$. Here $FillRad$ is the Filling Radius of $M^n$.","PeriodicalId":49151,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Topology and Analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136227754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show that the evolution of the curve depends continuously on the initial curve in Frechet distance in the case where the curve bisects the sphere. This even holds in the limit as time goes to infinity. This builds on Joseph Lauer's work on existence and uniqueness of solutions to the curvature flow problem on the sphere when the initial curve is not smooth.","PeriodicalId":49151,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Topology and Analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135087723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
