Abstract

Let MM be a closed surface and let {gs  s(ϵ,ϵ)}\{g_s \ | \ s \in (-\epsilon, \epsilon)\} be a smooth one-parameter family of Riemannian metrics on MM. Also let {κs:MR  s(ϵ,ϵ)}\{\kappa_s : M \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \ | \ s \in (-\epsilon, \epsilon)\} be a smooth one-parameter family of functions on MM. Then the family {(gs,κs)  s(ϵ,ϵ)}\{(g_s, \kappa_s) \ | \ s \in (-\epsilon, \epsilon)\} gives rise to a family of magnetic flows on TMTM. We show that if the magnetic curvatures are negative for s(ϵ,ϵ)s \in (-\epsilon, \epsilon) and the lengths of each periodic orbit remains constant as the parameter ss varies, then there exists a smooth family of diffeomorphisms {fs:MM  s(ϵ,ϵ)}\{f_s : M \rightarrow M \ | \ s \in (-\epsilon, \epsilon)\} such that fs(gs)=g0f_s^*(g_s) = g_0 and fs(κs)=κ0f_s^*(\kappa_s) = \kappa_0. This generalizes a result of Guillemin and Kazhdan to the setting of magnetic flows.

Comments

v3: 10 pages, corrected errors in Corollary 3.2 and Lemma 3.4. Version 2 could still be useful for those who want Carlemann estimates for magnetic flows. v2: 17 pages, incorporated referee comments. To appear in "Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society."
