Look at the following phrases (from mathematical texts):



(1) a manifold all of whose geodesics are closed



(2) a manifold whose geodesics are all closed



(3) a manifold each of whose geodesics is closed



(4) a manifold whose all geodesics are closed



(5) a manifold whose every geodesic is closed



Is it true that (1) to (3) are better English (grammatically and/or idiomatically) than (4) and (5)? Or maybe the last two are incorrect?

    (4) is ungrammatical and (5) is marginal. Of the rest, (2) is the best; pied-piping with quantifiers is quite complex, whereas quantifier-float removes all the complexities.

    There are some people who claim that 'whose' can only refer to persons, not things, such as manifolds. They would have to say "a manifold, all the geodesics of which are closed". Although their reasoning is suspect (there is no such 'rule'), in this particular case the formulation with 'which' seems to me no more ugly than your (1) and (3). But it is really a mater of style to choose between them.
