strongly convex.
*Proof.* Let $c$ be as in \entryref{317503003357}. Choose $\delta>0$ and $W$ as in \entryref{f29bd1e6ebb3}
with $\delta<\frac{c}{2}$, and take $\beta<\delta$ with $B_\beta(p)\subset W$. Let
with $\delta<\frac{c}{2}$, and take $\beta<\delta$ with $\overline{B_\beta(p)}\subset W$. Let
$q_1,q_2\in\overline{B_\beta(p)}$ and let $\gamma$ be the unique geodesic of length
$<2\delta<c$ joining them; then $\gamma\subset B_c(p)$. If the interior of
$\gamma$ is not contained in $B_\beta(p)$, there is an interior point $m$ where the
maximum distance $r$ from $p$ to $\gamma$ is attained; near $m$ the points of
$\gamma$ remain in $\overline{B_r(p)}$. Since $m\in B_c(p)$ this contradicts

The torus $T^{n+1}$ with the flat metric (Cf. \entryref{a47005f1c0b9}, Chap. 1) contains the
torus $T^n$ as a totally geodesic submanifold. This shows that the hypothesis
that $\overline{M}$ be simply connected in \entryref{d483a90d3a7d} is necessary.
