Do all Compact Spaces of Constant Positive Sectional Curvature Have Periodic Geodesic Flow

45 Views Asked by At

My research is mainly in Harmonic analysis, so I'm not sure if I'm missing some subtleties with the following Differential Geometry argument:

The unit sphere has periodic geodesic flow, of period $2 \pi$. By the Killing Hopf Theorem, every manifold with constant positive sectional curvature must be a quotient of the sphere by a group acting freely and properly discontinuously. Does it follow from this that all manifolds with constant positive sectional curvature equal to one must have a periodic geodesic flow, with period at most $2 \pi$?
