Abstract

Let MM be a closed oriented surface and let Ω\Omega be a non-exact 2-form. Suppose that the magnetic flow ϕ\phi of the pair (g,Ω)(g,\Omega) is Anosov. We show that the longitudinal KAM-cocycle of ϕ\phi is a coboundary if and only the Gaussian curvature is constant and Ω\Omega is a constant multiple of the area form thus extending the results in \cite{P2}. We also show infinitesimal rigidity of the action spectrum of ϕ\phi with respect to variations of Ω\Omega. Both results are obtained by showing that if G:MRG:M\to\mathbb R is any smooth function and ω\omega is any smooth 1-form on MM such that G(x)+ωx(v)G(x)+\omega_{x}(v) integrates to zero along any closed orbit of ϕ\phi, then GG must be identically zero and ω\omega must be exact.
