Abstract
We investigate the phenomenon of multiple conjugate points along
a geodesic. In the first instance, we investigate conjugate points in the context
of the Jacobi equation, a second order ordinary differential equation, which captures precisely the geometry of conjugate points on surfaces. We then construct
geometric examples which exhibit similar properties in higher dimensions.
