Abstract

We completely integrate the magnetic geodesic flow on a flat two-torus with the magnetic field F=cos(x)dxdyF = \cos (x) dx \wedge dy and describe all contractible periodic magnetic geodesics. It is shown that there are no such geodesics for energy E1/2E \geq 1/2, for E<1/2E< 1/2 simple periodic magnetic geodesics form two S1S^1-families for which the (fixed energy) action functional is positive and therefore there are no periodic magnetic geodesics for which the action functional is negative.
