Integrable geodesic flows on surfaces

Abstract

We propose a new condition \aleph which enables to get new results on integrable geodesic flows on closed surfaces. This paper has two parts. In the first, we strengthen Kozlov's theorem on non-integrability on surfaces of higher genus. In the second, we study integrable geodesic flows on 2-torus. Our main result for 2-torus describes the phase portraits of integrable flows. We prove that they are essentially standard outside, what we call, separatrix chains. The complement to the union of the separatrix chains is C0C^0-foliated by invariant sections of the bundle.
