Abstract

The space of 22-jets of a real function of two real variables, denoted by J2(R2,R)J^2(\mathbb{R}^2,\mathbb{R}), admits the structure of a metabelian Carnot group, so J2(R2,R)J^2(\mathbb{R}^2,\mathbb{R}) has a normal abelian sub-group A\mathbb{A}. As any sub-Riemannian manifold, J2(R2,R)J^2(\mathbb{R}^2,\mathbb{R}) has an associated Hamiltonian geodesic flow. The Hamiltonian action of A\mathbb{A} on TJ2(R2,R)T^*J^2(\mathbb{R}^2,\mathbb{R}) yields the reduced Hamiltonian HμH_{\mu} on THT(J2(R2,R)/A)T^*\mathcal{H} \simeq T^*(J^2(\mathbb{R}^2,\mathbb{R})/\mathbb{A}), where HμH_{\mu} is a two-dimensional Euclidean space. The paper is devoted to proving that reduced Hamiltonian HμH_{\mu} is non-integrable by meromorphic functions for some values of μ\mu. This result suggests the sub-Riemannian geodesic flow on J2(R2,R)J^{2}(\mathbb{R}^2,\mathbb{R}) is not meromorphically integrable.
