| Research Abstract |
The cut locus of an ellipsoid is an arc on the elliptic coordinate, and the conjugate locus has exactly 4 cusps which is known as Jacobi's last theorem. In this study we determined the cut locus on a general dimensional ellipsoid, and determined the structure of conjugate locus and its singularities. Moreover we studied cut loci of some kind of Liouville manifolds and the relations of cut locus of general surfaces and graphs.
