Abstract

We give a necessary condition on a geodesic in a Riemannian manifold that can run in some convex hypersurface. As a corollary, we obtain peculiar properties that hold true for every convex set in any generic Riemannian manifold (M,g){(M,g)}. For example, if a convex set in (M,g){(M,g)} is bounded by a smooth hypersurface, then it is strictly convex.
