In this chapter we are going to introduce a new aspect of a closed geodesic. Whereas in the previous chapters a closed geodesic was considered as a closed curve distinguished in the space of all closed curves by a certain property (i.e. being a critical value of a functional), we are now going to view a closed geodesic (or rather the tangent vector field along a closed geodesic) as a periodic orbit in the geodesic flow on the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold.
