Abstract

In this work we study the dynamical behavior Tonelli Lagrangian systems defined on the tangent bundle of the torus T2=R2/Z2\mathbb{T}^2=\mathbb{R}^2 / \mathbb{Z}^2. We prove that the Lagrangian flow restricted to a high energy level EL1(c) E_L^{-1}(c) (i.e c>c0(L) c> c_0(L)) has positive topological entropy if the flow satisfies the Kupka-Smale propriety in EL1(c) E_L^{-1}(c) (i.e, all closed orbit with energy cc are hyperbolic or elliptic and all heteroclinic intersections are transverse on EL1(c)E_L^{-1}(c)). The proof requires the use of well-known results in Aubry-Mather's Theory.
