Abstract
Introduction. A regular curve on a Riemannian manifold is a curve with a continuously turning nontrivial tangent vector.(2) A regular homotopy is a homotopy which at every stage is a regular curve, keeps end points and directions fixed and such that the tangent vector moves continuously with the homotopy. A regular curve is closed if its initial point and tangent coincides with its end point and tangent. In 1937 Hassler Whitney [17] classified the closed regular curves in the plane according to equivalence under regular homotopy. The main goal of this work is to extend this result to regular curves on Riemannian manifolds.
