Geodesic Flow on Global Holomorphic Sections of TS^2

Differential Geometry 2021-11-15 v1

Abstract

We study the geodesic flow on the global holomorphic sections of the bundle π:TS2S2\pi:{TS}^2\to {S}^2 induced by the neutral K\"ahler metric on the space of oriented lines of R3{\Bbb{R}}^3, which we identify with TS2{TS}^2. This flow is shown to be completely integrable when the sections are symplectic and the behaviour of the geodesics is described.
